Cleanup & export.

End-of-the-week tools: getting rid of what's dead weight, and getting deliverables out of the model.

Purging, deleting unused views, exporting to Excel

Delete elements

Delete a set — with a reply that reports what deleted and what couldn't.

When: paired with a find: "find the duplicates" then "delete them". Still one Ctrl+Z if you regret it.

delete the doors you just found delete all @selected

Delete unused views

Every graphical view not placed on any sheet — gone in one pass. Schedules, legends, templates, and your active view are excluded automatically.

When: the 400-view model that should be a 60-view model. Run it before archiving or sharing.

Purge unused

Revit's Purge Unused — families, types, materials — as a sentence.

When: file-size complaints and template hygiene.

Export schedules to Excel

Any schedule to .xlsx, matched by partial name — "door" finds "Door Schedule 01".

When: every time someone outside Revit asks for the numbers.

Export views to PDF or DWG

A list of views out to PDF (default) or DWG, into a folder you name.

When: issue day. Name the views, name the folder, done.
