loong list of surfaces

[Ahmed_K]

when i merge a library to archicad the list of surfces, fills, line types get extanded due to the settings of the new imported objects, and this make it painfull when i have to select a surface from the standard list of surfaces
is there any way to hide theese extra elements ?? i can't delete them from the attribute manager because they appear as missing objects in the library manager 😕

In the Attribute manager you will see a little tick next to any surface (or other attribute) that is being used.
Don't delete those but it should be safe to delete others.

But even better is in the Surface Settings dialogue you can 'Delete & Replace' any surface (same for many other attributes too) so not only will they delete but they will change to any other surface you choose so you won't get the 'Missing' surface.
