I'm having an issue of lighting fixtures becoming "not associated".  Its something the architect is doing as their central file evolves.  The problem is that a "not associated" fixture doesn't show up when a reconcile hosting check is done.  Short of selecting on each fixture and checking it's host constraint, there doesn't seem to be a way to query a list of "not associated" fixtures.  My first thought was to create a schedule of the hosting condition, but that doesn't seem possible.  A google search doesn't seem to address anything other than the difference between "orphaned" and "not associate". 

In a nut shell, I'm trying to identify all "not assocated" devices quickly and efficently.

The architect is probably deleting his ceiling and re-creating - see image.

Yes, they are deleting the ceiling and this is causing the problem.  That is not going to be solved however, discussions have been had believe me.  I'm trying to see if there is a way to query these 'broken' devices so I can fix them manually.  There may not be a way, I don't know.
