Model Review extension

Has anyone messed around with the Model Review extension to remove duplicate mark values??

I can't get it to work (and get the same error as in the video). You're supposed to enter a SPACE as a new blank value but the check doesn't like it. It wants an actual value, which in this case, won't work with removing the mark values. Any thoughts?? Anyone??


Thanks in advance!

This process has always worked for me (without the extension): Sorry for the *sigh*
Create a View to quickly eliminate the duplicate marks. I.e., create a Pipe Schedule with just the Mark value, and deselect the 'Itemize Every Instance' on the Sorting/Grouping tab. When the schedule is created, it will list a single empty box because each value is different. However, if you type a value in that box (ie 1),, each will have the same value...then, if you delete that value, all elements will have NO Mark value, and won't be 'flagged' as duplicate. Note, in this scenario, it can take a long time to click into the field since this is essentially selecting every Pipe element... Also, you'd need to do this with each Category of element you're having the issue with (duct fittings, pipe fittings, etc.). A similar approach may be to create a 3D view that shows only the offending element types (i.e., all ducts, fittings, pipes, fittings, accessories, etc), then select everything that view, and 'null' out the value as described above.

I ended up doing your "similar approach" method and I was able to remove just over 1000 duplicate mark warnings.
