🎯 Clean Unplaced View/Sched./Leg.

Clean Unplaced View/Sched./Leg. performs comprehensive detection and removal of views, schedules, and legends that are not placed on any sheets.
Version 1.4 | Cleaners

Overview​

While Revit lacks efficient tools for identifying which views, schedules, and legends are actually placed on project sheets, this tool addresses that limitation by automatically detecting unplaced documentation elements. This enables comprehensive project cleanup that removes views, schedules, and legends that won't be delivered, significantly reducing file size and eliminating clutter that would otherwise require tedious manual verification across all sheets.

Key Features​

Usage includes:

  • Multi-Category Detection: Simultaneously identifies unplaced views, schedules, and legends across the entire project.
  • Individual Selection Control: View detailed breakdown lists and select specific items for targeted deletion.
  • Sheet Placement Analysis: Automatically checks all sheets to determine placement status for each documentation element.
  • Batch Processing Options: Delete by category or execute comprehensive cleanup of all unplaced elements.
  • Final Delivery Preparation: Streamlines project cleanup process for deliverable documentation sets.

Requirements​

Before using Clean Unplaced View/Sched./Leg., ensure your environment meets the following prerequisites:

 Autodesk Revit: From version 2020 to newest.
 NonicaTab: NonicaTab Pro.

Usage​

Understanding Standard vs. Enhanced Documentation Cleanup​

  1. Standard Revit Management:
    • Manual Sheet Review: Navigate through each sheet individually to verify view placements
    • Project Browser Checking: Manually compare project browser content with sheet contents
    • No Automated Detection: No built-in method to identify unplaced documentation elements
    • Time-Intensive Process: Requires significant time investment for comprehensive verification
  2. Enhanced Cleanup (This Tool):
    • Automatically analyzes all sheets to detect placement status
    • Provides detailed breakdown lists with individual selection capability
    • Enables batch deletion by category or comprehensive cleanup
    • Streamlines final project delivery preparation process

Basic Documentation Assessment Workflow​

  1. Navigate to NonicaTab Pro → Clean Unplaced View/Sched./Leg..
  2. Review Detection Results: The interface displays four main processing options:
    • Unplaced Views: Lists views not placed on any project sheets
    • Unplaced Schedules: Shows schedules not placed on any project sheets
    • Unplaced Legends: Identifies legends not placed on any project sheets
    • Comprehensive Cleanup: Option to process all three categories simultaneously
  3. Analyze Category Breakdowns: Each category shows detailed lists of unplaced items with automatic selection for deletion.

FAQ​

Manual checking requires navigating through each sheet individually and comparing with the project browser to verify what's placed. This tool automatically analyzes all sheets and provides a comprehensive list of unplaced views, schedules, and legends, saving significant time in the verification process.

"Unplaced" refers to views, schedules, and legends that are not placed on any project sheets. These elements exist in the project browser but are not part of the deliverable documentation set, making them candidates for deletion during final project cleanup.

Not necessarily. Some unplaced elements might need to be added to sheets rather than deleted. Review the lists carefully to determine if any views, schedules, or legends should be placed on sheets before deletion, especially for final project deliverables.

Yes, the tool shows detailed breakdown lists of all unplaced views, schedules, and legends before deletion. You can review these lists and use individual selection control to preserve specific items while cleaning up others.

This tool is particularly useful during final project delivery preparation when you need to clean up work-in-progress views and ensure only deliverable documentation remains. It's also helpful during periodic project cleanup to prevent accumulation of unused documentation elements.
