How to remove Attributes of multiple Items
Many Items in a Project, ranging from Stakeholders to Overlays to Buildings, have Attributes, representing properties that can be added, changed and removed. Attributes can be removed on a per-component basis, but it's also possible to remove the Attributes of multiple Items at once; with or without a data-specific filter.
Be careful when using these steps, as there only a slight difference in configuration between removing a specific Attribute, and removing all Attributes. This action cannot be easily undone.
How to remove Attributes from multiple components at once:
- Open the "Remove Attributes" window.
- Select the type of data to remove an Attribute from.
- If applicable, select a data-specific filter. For example: buildings can be filtered on category.
- If you only want to remove Attributes from data which has a specific Attribute, activate the "With Attribute" filter and select the Attribute to filter on.
- If you only want to remove Attributes from data of which the filter Attribute's value meets a certain requirement, activate the "With Value" filter and configure it as desired.
- If you only want to remove one specific Attribute, rather than all Attributes of the data, activate the "Specific Attribute", and select the Attribute to remove from the (matched) data.
- Review the configured settings, making sure only the data you want to affect will be affected, and only the Attribute you want to remove will be removed.
- Click on "Remove Attribute".
- The specified Attribute (or all Attribute of no specific Attribute was specified) are now removed from the data matching the filter (or all data of the selected type, if no filter was specified).
