GC Transactions Cleanup

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been covered previously.

Is there a simple way to cleanup transactions to remove items that you no longer need.

I find that I tend to test out things and then before I know it I have a full transaction list with items that I created then deleted or moved around etc.

I thought there might be a way of flattening the transactions to the once needed? maybe wishful thinking. 

One thought is a Generated Node? Does this take any other information other than what is needed?

Thanks

  • Hi Wayne,

    If you want to clean up transactions to reflect the latest state of your script (or the one to which you have played transactions), there are two approaches. Both of those I'd try in a copy of your file (or make a back-up of your file before using these approaches).

    (1.1) Play the script to where it has the state that you want.
    (1.2) Select all the played transactions.
    (1.3) Right-click and select Rebuild Transaction(s).
    (1.4) GC will rebuild the transactions in a sequence that is given by the dependencies in the Graph, eliminating any intermediate states/explorations/implied versions/etc.

    (2.1) Play the script to where it has the state that you want.
    (2.2) Select all the played transactions.
    (2.3) Right-click and select Consolidate Transaction(s).
    (2.4) GC will collect all transactions into a single one.

    Generated Node Type is another option; however, GNTs do not include some of the Utility node types, so there is a limitation in which parts of your script would get captured.

    Best regards,

  • Hi Mueller,

    This is in case that we want to save scripts of earlier part.

    What if we want to save or reuse transactions of later part or middle part, and want to remove partial earlier transactions.

  • Hi Anjum,

    As Volker says please do a backup before trying this.... but

    I found that if you suppress the transactions you don't need then rebuild using the steps Volker provided it works well.

    Attached is an example I created a few points, a polygon and then a solid. I then suppressed these ran the script to the end, selected all and Rebuild. 

    Below is a quick screen capture of my test

    Thanks

    Wayne
