A member of the design team utilized the copy the clipboard to duplicate the work from first floor to the third. They copied to clipboard only objects (earlier attempts failed cause they were including tags) and then paste using align to selected levels. After that they said that it failed and we looked over the what to include and i had them use walls, doors, rooms, and furniture - it said duplicates exists - we did undo. Nothing was in the 3rd floor view or 3D view. I looked over the 1st floor and all the wall joins did not look right. I then discovered 2290 duplicate warnings. How do I delete these?! I start doing it through the plan but it was insane. I did the warning errors and just deleted checked - BUT NOT 2300 times! Is there a way i can use the object ID number? Export out to a database - delete them and then force the data back in. oh and i left out the best part. Backgrounds are due tomorrow with 50% SD in a week!! Ideas? Suggestions? Comments? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

Hello:

Try using the Model Review plug-in. It has an option to check and remove duplicate items. Be sure to retain an original copy of your file for safekeeping.

Thanks. I tried that out on a test here. I just deleted bulk of the duplicates in the project and copied new ones. But this looked cleaner.
