Set the default for Purge Unused to Check None

Set the default for Purge Unused to Check None

The default for Purge Unused is currently set to Check All, this makes it too easy to purge a lot of stuff that will still be needed as a project is developed. Most of the time Purge Unused is used to get rid of the needless duplicate families Revit makes of stuff brought into a project, and only at the end of a project if the model is sent to another firm would Purge Unused be set to to Check All. 

Check All should be an option and Check None should be the default.

Personally I only use purge unused to clear models for upload to common data environments. I wholeheartedly reject this idea!

I agree with this, and add that Transfer Project Settings should also follow this same logic of selecting None by default.

Hello all, we just had an issue at work and this is very strange that this is not normal behavior.

We rarely want to purge all unused elements from a model. Typically we only need to purge specific element categories or types from the model.

 

Currently when launching the "Purge Unused" tool, the default selection option is "Check All". We typically need to first click the "Check None" button each time and then select only the specific elements that we actually need to purge from the model.

 

The default "Check All" setting greatly increases the chance that users will forget to first click the "Check None" button and will purge the model of all standard template content not yet in use. This happens on a regular basis even with proper user instruction.

Please help us make this issue visible by commenting and upvoting, this is a big risk for all of us and it doesn't require much coding from Autodesk to change. Thank you

This is a good idea. I always set it to " none" first... but i see the day coming where I forget to do that and then purge everything. 

 

Same could be for the view-filter. i also first set that to " none", and then select what I wanted to select. But this is just inconvenient and not as dangerous as accidentally purging everything.

Indeed, the system is set up for failure, thank you for your comment.
