Eliminating the Effects of an Industry

Hi Jimmy. IMPLAN does allow you to completely remove an industry from your model if you desire or have a need to do so. You would do this by navigating to Customize>Study Area Data>Industry List> Scroll down and select industry to remove, highlight, and then select>Zero Out Industry. When you do this, you will get a pop up message that reads “ You are about to zero out this industry and save changes. This cannot be reversed. Continue?” If you want to remove/zero out the industry, then click “Yes”. If you don’t want to remove/zero out the industry, then you click “No.” If you decide to remove the industry from the model, then you will have to rebuild/reconstruct your model. To do this, you will navigate to Options>Construct>Multipliers to rebuild your model in order to create Events and run impacts. Even though you have removed the selected industry from your model, if you have need for this industry in future analysis, you can go back to your original IMPLAN data and build a new model of your target region. We hope this helps.
