Unused Elements Cleaner

Introduction

Unused Elements Cleaner by Codigem is a powerful plugin designed for Autodesk Revit users to detect and remove unused elements within their models. This plugin enhances Revit's built-in purge functionality by providing a more comprehensive approach to cleaning up models, reducing file sizes, improving performance, and ensuring adherence to modeling standards.

Key Features

The Unused Elements Cleaner plugin offers several key features that make it a valuable tool for Revit users. One of the main functions of the plugin is to create HTML reports for both current and linked models, highlighting all the unused elements within the project. This makes it easy for BIM Managers, BIM Coordinators, and modeling teams to identify and address any unnecessary elements that may be bloating the model.

In addition to generating reports, the plugin also allows users to export data and create custom reports tailored to their specific needs. This level of customization ensures that users can focus on the elements that are most important to them, streamlining the clean-up process and optimizing model performance.

Another standout feature of the Unused Elements Cleaner plugin is its ability to delete unused elements from the current model. This functionality goes beyond Revit's native purge tool, enabling users to remove elements that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to delete. By doing so, users can significantly reduce the size of their models and improve overall performance.

Supported Data Storages and Validation Scope

The plugin supports various data storages, including local storage, Autodesk BIM 360, and Autodesk Construction Cloud (Autodesk Docs). This flexibility allows users to seamlessly integrate the plugin into their existing workflows and collaborate with team members across different platforms.

When it comes to validation scope, the Unused Elements Cleaner plugin covers a wide range of elements within Revit models. From views and schedules to design options and linked models, the plugin offers a comprehensive solution for identifying and removing unused elements across all aspects of a project.
