Clear model layout

Hi all,

I am creating a function that builds up a model using information from a global table. But everytime I run it, I first need to delete all the objects in the model view. So I need a function with which I can delete all the objects in the model view, but I don't know where to find this?

Anyone got an idea?

Thanks!
Ben

Hi Ben,

Have you tried the command for a new model? applicationcommand("newmodel");

Hi Steven,

That doesn't really work for me.

applicationcommand("newmodel"); opens a completely new model, but than also all global tables, user commands etc.. disappear..

I just want the objects in my model layout to be deleted, but maintain everything else. I found a function that might work:

selectAll();
deleteselected();

This deletes all the objects, but I am afraid it might also delete some other vital functionalities. What do you think about this?

Thanks,
Ben

Those commands will probably work for what you are trying to do, but if you want to have more precise control over what is happening, you could use destroyobject() within a while() loop:

while(content(model()) > 1)
	destroyobject(last(model()));

If you want to not destroy the FlexsimModelFloor object:

while(content(model()) > 2)
	destroyobject(last(model()));

Hi Benjamin,

Adding on to Mr Phil Bobo's post.If you are having the names of the objects to be deleted, stored in the Global Table. You can use the destroyobject command like this.
int columnnumber = 1;// column number of names
for(int i =1;i<=gettablerows("Global Table");i++)
{

treenode object = node(gettablestr("GlobalTable",i,columnnumber),mod el());
if(objectexists(object))
{

destroyobejct(object);
}
}
