    Classification Systems
    DELETE

    projects/{projectId}/classification-systems/{systemId}

    Deletes a classification system from a project.

    Note that this action will only succeed if there are no takeoff types and items associated with the classification system. The Takeoff API currently does not support dissociating types and items from a classification system. You dissociate takeoff types and items from a classification system in the UI.

    To check if a classification system is associated with takeoff types and items, call GET packages and use the package IDs (results[i].id) to call GET takeoff-types. Iterate through the takeoff types and check if classificationCodeOne and classificationCodeTwo have a value for both primaryQuantityDefinition and secondaryQuantityDefinition.

    Note that this endpoint is not compatible with BIM 360 projects.
