# Deleting Designed Elements

How deleting a designed beam triggers change warnings and affects impacted elements and the Element Manager.

Deletion of a beam designed using ENERCALC for Revit will result in a change warning. If working in “Real-time” monitoring mode, this will result in a pop-up notification to the user. When the pop-up notification is presented, the user has 3 choices.

The first button will proceed with removing the element. This will cause all other impacted element(s) (i.e., supported elements, supporting elements with “Load-Linking” relationships, etc.) to be placed in a warning state (orange) and a description of the change will appear in the Element Manager. The second button will preserve the change committed by the user, but will not create any warnings on the impacted element(s). The third button will undo the preceding change that triggered the notification.

If the change is kept, the Element Manager summary table will contain a line item showing the deleted element, even though it no longer exists in the model. Deleted element line items can still be selected, and limited information may be viewed after deletion.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/efr-user-manual/calculation-types/working-with-beam-calculations/monitoring-and-change-warnings/deleting-designed-elements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
