i have some nodes in my model which are not connected to any structure or system or anything (=orphaned). I need to clean my model from them, how can i do this?

Hi,

 

Goto Temperory nodes panel and click clear all.

 

Shift+F2 is the shortcut to Temp nodes panel.

Hi,

 

that only works for temporary nodes marked with a yellow sphere. After clicking clear all on temp nodes panel, i still can find the orphaned nodes. I am using HW Desktop 13.0.112

Hi Florian,

 

Check in which component collector they are. Isolate that component and it should be gone.

 

if the above did not work, add the below Environment variables and values.

 

 

Variable name: HM_DISABLE_MULTISAMPLE

 

Variable value: 1

 

Variable name: HM_LEGACY_NODE_DRAWING

 

Variable value: 1

Hi all!

 

Sorry to update the thread but i have the same problem of florian_lw.

 

I am not able to delete these orphane nodes in hypermesh. Where can i set the variable values, as explained by Prakash Pagadala?

 

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

 

You have to add all nodes as temp nodes (all nodes will be yellow) and after you have to clear all.

 

in this way, all orphaned will be deleted.
