Items with model role Environment marked

Using AS 2019

Thanks for looking at my post. Please see attached screen capture.

It is my understanding that items with a model role assigned as "Environment" are considered existing and will not be marked and will not generate detailed drawings. This was not what happened in my case. I did not want to include these items in any detailing are marking. Is there a simple explanation? Can someone explain the process in which I would remove these objects from the detailed sheets that I now have? I don't want them marked, detailed or included in any BOM. For future reference: when I am modeling a project, what should I do when I want to show existing steel that does not require detailing? Thank you very much for any help.

u could achieve this by makeing drawings with draw process's/suite  

in the detail style map if u dont have a style for "environment" and "all" it wont make drawings for environment

u could make a "all but enviroment" role in -drawing style maneger/model objects

 

an alternative way 

i dont know if its possible to make a script or custom button to change behaviour setting's  but that would allso work

Accepted solution

The role environment is only for another visual style in the GA details. If you don't want to get the part get numbered, you had to deactivate 'use for numbering' in the behavior of the parts. You could use the filter to filter all the parts with this role and then you could deactivate it for a group for example 'for all beams' by using the multi edit.

If the parts have not single or mainpart number they will not be detailed.

Sounds like a great idea for an idea. model roles venture into the model and not only drawing creation.  

 

Example.. environment role makes any member with this role un-check  the behavior boxes for lists and numbering.

...and fix the kiss export issues.
