Nodes deleted from the model throw errors on build

Hi

I've deleted the node SmallTank320 way back in the history of my model, but only recently deleted the User Command ArrivalTrigger, and now on compile I am getting these errors. What should I do?

Flexscript Error MODEL:/SmallTank320>variables/interarrivaltime line 5 The function ArrivalTrigger is not recognized

Thanks,

Dylan

Software Version:

FlexSim 7.5.4

Click on the model node in the tree and press the > button to its left.

That will show you nodes within the model's attribute tree.

Your missing object is probably hiding in there. Delete it out of there and then collapse your model's object tree by pressing the > button again.

The error indicates that there is still an object named SmallTank320 in your model.

If your model is large and you're not sure where it might be hiding, you can find it using FlexSim's Find Objects tool:

Open Find Objects under the main menu's View menu. The Find Object tool will open in your quick properties panel, typically on the right side of the screen.

Type the name of the object you're trying to find and click the Find button. The object will be centered in your view and highlighted yellow:

Yup so I've tried the above but the result is a window that says 'Could not find any more references'. I know the element doesn't exist in my model, it only comes up in search results if I search from the project level in the tree view. Then if explore tree I can see it, but if I right click and view up it disappears. Thanks for the suggestions though

@Dylan Webb, that sounds like some pretty odd behavior. Would you be able to send your model in? If it has proprietary info, you could start a new private question.
