3. If multiple objects are required to be removed from Model Viewer, than it is much faster to remove objects via the Object List command. Using this command, the user can select multiple objects to remove from a list. Also, there is an option via the Object List dialog to remove all objects from Model Viewer. The Object List command is accessed via the Labels tab on the ribbon.

 Objects imported into Model Viewer are either of type 'parent' or 'copy'. It is important to note that if a 'parent' object is deleted, than all references known as 'copy' objects will also be removed from Model Viewer.
