# remove(_:)

Removes the specified object from the asset’s list of top-level objects.

## Declaration

```swift
func remove(_ object: MDLObject)
```

## Parameters

- `object`: The object to remove from the asset.

## Discussion

Discussion An asset contains one or more top-level objects (instances of the MDLObject class or one of its subclasses, such as MDLMesh), each of which may contain a hierarchy of child objects. Calling this method has no effect if the object is not in the asset’s list of top-level objects.
