For this project, the green grading alignments were deleted. The conditional data for them needs to be deleted as well.

Warning: If you are using the grading line in your project, SKIP THIS STEP.

1. Zoom to the assembly 25-BG-Rehab-L-NoCG.
   1. On the right side, using crossing window select, select the conditional Target Found subassembly and Daylight subassembly. Select the conditional Target Not Found subassembly, but leave the Daylight subassembly.

      

   2. Delete
   3. Commandline: type REEnter, to regenerate the drawing.
   4. On the left side, using crossing window select, select the conditional Target Found subassembly and Daylight subassembly. Select the conditional Target Not Found subassembly, but leave the Daylight subassembly.
   5. Delete
   6. Commandline: type REEnter
2. Zoom to the assembly 25-BG-Rehab-L-CG. To speed this up, select both sides.
   1. On the right side, using crossing window select, select the conditional Target Found subassembly and Daylight subassembly. Select the conditional Target Not Found subassembly, but leave the Daylight subassembly.
   2. On the left side, using crossing window select, select the conditional Target Found subassembly and Daylight subassembly. Select the conditional Target Not Found subassembly, but leave the Daylight subassembly.
   3. Delete
   4. Commandline: type REEnter

3. With those edits done, use the MOVE command on the assembly 25-BG-Rehab-L-NoCG to bring it closer to the assembly 25-BG-Rehab-L-CG.
