How to delete a Reference Plane with no perpendicular view?

[Anonymous]

I made a dynamo script that creates a reference plane from a planar surface. My final attempt works exactly as I intended. but the planes from my previous attempts are all still in the model. I can't figure out a way to select these extraneous planes, does anyone know a way to select a plane that doesn't have a perpendicular view to select it from?

Simple, make a view that is perpendicular.

With complex architectural forms there is no guarantee that every surface will have a perpendicular view. Rob, how do you propose making a view perpendicular to a reference plane which you know neither the slope nor rotation? 

Future reference for anyone who has a similar problem: I was able to use dynamo to select all components by category 'reference plane', the selection is returned in chronological order so we can just chop the end off returned list to delete the components.

Why don't you host something on it?

I think the problem was that he knows some planes are in the project file, but he can't see them in any existing views (and I'm guessing they aren't named) so he can't select them and create any new views that are perpendicular, or host anything onto, or anything really.

Seems he already solved the problem, but what I would have done is select one plane, then select-all-in-project, then manually deselect the ones to keep, then hit the Delete button on the keyboard.

Those reference planes were created by Dynamo, they may not align with X, Y or Z plane and you wouldn't see them anywhere to draw views perpendicular to them.

Select all in the project is not working for reference planes, it is grayed out.
