How to clean up a file

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 15:28:41 GMT

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble working with an AC13 solo model. Is there a way to clean up the file, similar to the "purge" tool in Autocad?

Thanks!

I mean, it's a simple model (a one-family house), but it got painfully slow to do anything. It's saved locally on the computer I'm working on, so I guess it must be a problem with the model.

Thanks, that was helpful.

I fear however that I need to clean up the file itself too. I get now a message saying that the computer does not have enough memory for the operation (zooming in/out). It must be some corrupt element that I need to delete.

Is there a magic command like "get rid of all the stuff that doesn't work"?

You could try to merge the project into a new file. Sometimes AC will eliminate the offending objects.

Before merging them I would suggest cleaning up all the superfluous attributes with attribute manager in the corrupt file, and then merge them in a new file.
