NARDesignGrp Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 In any new plan I open up from my custom template there is a fairly long list of materials being "used" but the only object in the template is a north arrow. Why does Chief save these as used materials? Is there a way to delete them? Thanks for any info on this! Using X12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 You can give the Purge tool a try but I suspect the majority of those materials are assigned as defaults. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly ............ every plan has 30-40 Default (changeable) materials associated with it.... Doors, Windows, Roof Planes, Walltypes etc etc. M.

That makes sense, so every default material is then considered "in use" by the plan. Thank you for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NARDesignGrp Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 I have a follow up question. When going through the "in use" materials list, is there a way to see what exactly that material is being used for? I have gone through all defaults and changed everything to what I would like but there are still some mystery materials that I am not sure where they are being used.

Chief X12 Are you sure that you went through ALL your defaults? For example, did you check all your Room Type definitions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those all look like materials that would be used in either material defaults, wall type definitions or room type definitions. Post a copy of that plan though and one of us will take a quick look.

Alaskan_Son Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I'm curious if anyone will be able to find where the "Maple 5" Plank-Natural" is being used. Seems like it might be hard-coded somewhere, maybe for Legacy purposes. I don't know, just a guess. I gave up trying to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably just group selected them and changed them all to match each other though before checking if that material was still being used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing that it was a copied texture and thus using the same texture file, that is using it but the texture files are two totally different files. Didn't spend that long but I couldn't find it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
