Remove Details
Remove Details tool removes all patches of a building roof which are of the same size or smaller than a patch identified by a data click or a specified value. This can be used, for example, for removing patches of unnecessary structures on a roof, such as roof windows.
To remove a building patch:
1. Select Remove Details tool.
The Remove Details dialog opens:
2. Define settings.
3. Move the mouse pointer inside a view.
The patches effected by the removal action are dynamically highlighted if the mouse pointer is inside a patch (Limit by = Identify patch) or inside the view (Limit by = Keyin value).
4. Confirm the selection of patches with a data click.
This removes all patches from the building model that are defined by the tool’s setting. You can continue with step 4.

Method of how the maximum size of a patch to be deleted is determined: •Identify patch - identified with a data click inside the patch. •Keyin value - the size is determined by the given Area value. |
You can remove all patches of an active building model. Nevertheless, the model still exists in the list and stays active. You can apply additional processing steps, such as recomputing the model using the Recompute button of the Check Building Models dialog or creating a new model with the help of the Extrude Building tool. If you want to delete a model completely, use the Delete button of the Check Building Models dialog.
