    Hello everyone. I have a question regarding "purging" a model of erased entities. When I try to "purge" a model of erased entities(under Window/Model Info/ "statistics"), at the top of the list of "entities", the "edges" quantity never changes. Why is that? I know I've erased lots of edges, groups and components but the quantity of edges stays the same even though the groups and components quantities change. Am I missing something? Thanks.

      Hi fitZ,

      That button only purges unused components,materials, styles and layers. If you erase an edge / group / image entity from your model, that is gone forever - unlike components which remain in the model even is not used and can only be got(ten) rid of by purging.

      However if you check "Show nested components" at the top, you will get the "real" edge count present in your model (including the ones repeated in component instances).

        I don't think the Edge and Face count includes edges and faces inside unused components.

            Not in unused components but in the model. I mean model that whatever is actively inside the model (not in the file).
