    Exclamation Purging a Family using RB8.

    I have this door family with nested door hardware.
    This door hardware family is created by someone else. They have added a bunch of line styles, fill patterns, categories... (probably via "transfer project settings") into this family.
    I want to replace this cluttered family with a clean new created file. I can delete the previous nested family, But the line styles, some fill patterns can not be deleted / purged. If I place these door families in a new project I get all these unwanted line styles - categories

    Just wanted to post this as a warning, be careful what you nest, it seems it is there to stay.

    Thumbs up Re: Purging a Family using RB8.

    GOT A SOLUTION FROM THE FACTORY!!

    Fire up rel 8.0
    Just load the family in a test project
    Find it in the project browser
    select it - right click
    EDIT
    The family opens in the family editor and is SUPER PURGED
    only the necessary categories, line styles, hatches,Materials ... are there.

    For me this is great, phew (don't know if anyone else had a problem with it)
    Thanks.

    (Moderators can you move this to tips and tricks please)
