Re: [Virtools] deleting copied objects

A jpg might help but, if I understand correctly, might I suggest adding the
objects to a Group as they are created then using a Group Iterator to find
them later for the removal process.  And, it works for a Group with only a
single object.

Hope this helps,

David Callele
