You can delete (or remove) unwanted elements and objects at any time during the design process. Note that this actually removes the object from the design. If you want only to hide the object, see
Show and hide.
To delete 2D elements
1. Click 3D Access and then, in the Utilities group, click Delete 2D.
2. Specify the elements you want to delete using one of the following:
◦ Click the elements.
◦ Box the elements. (If you box both geometry and construction geometry, boxing will select the geometry elements first and delete them. If you want specific construction items to be deleted, either pick them individually or use the Select tool.)
