Summary

The freevars keyword frees 3B2 script variables that match a wildcard pattern.

Example extract

The example below will clean out all your file {areas}:

freevars "_ar_*"

This command scans every single one of your 3B2 variables, so in complicated jobs this can be quite slow, and even slower when you have several .3d files open at the same time.

Syntax `(6.82a)`

freevars pattern:s

pattern:s String tag/file containing wildcard pattern. The syntax only allows one string argument, which can be wild (* or ?), or just a variable name, such as: freevars "my_variable".

It is important to be aware that using freevars "*" will clear all variables including areas, and system paths if these are used again later during the same 3B2 session.
