M. To detect and remove orphan nodes

To detect and then remove nodes which are not connected to any other model entity (i.e., "orphan nodes"), use the following procedure.

In the process of modeling, disconnected nodes can be created in your model.
  1. On the Utilities ribbon tab, select the Node Tools > Oprhan Nodes tool in the Geometry Tools group. Any detected orphan nodes are selected in the view window.
  2. To remove these orphan nodes, on the Utilities ribbon tab, select the Node Tools > Remove Oprhan Nodes tool in the Geometry Tools group. The detected orphan nodes are deleted.
