Removing Automatic Exterior Dimentions

I am working in a massive drawing with many buildings. I have accidentally hit the Automatic Exterior dimention Key which dimentioned each building. Is there a way to  "back out" of this in lieu manually removing the dimentions from every building?

A few Options....

 

1.  Hit Undo

2.  Edit>Delete Objects.  Select "All Rooms On This Floor", check Automatic Dimensions, and click Delete.

3.  Select one of the automatic dimensions, click on the Match Properties tool (Control+J), check "Layer", click Okay, and then hit delete.

4.  If you want to be a little more selective, activate one of the manual dimension tools and Shift (or Control) select the desired dimensions (either with a marquis or one by one).  It may help to turn off some layers for this operation depending on what exactly you're trying to do.

This may be a case where each building is done in a separate plan

 

then saved as a 3D symbol and stored in the library

 

then in the master site plan add all those symbols

 

this is not required but is how I like to handle projects with multiple buildings

it also allows for building roofs and framing etc independently
