Suggestion 'Scrap Plots Only' scrap settlement option

It would be super helpful to have this for situations where you have a problematic plot somewhere in a large settlement in which you've also placed a lot of vanilla constructions (foundations, walls) that don't need to be replaced. Seems like this would be a really easy feature to add. Thanks!
 
Now that I think of it, it would also be useful to have this by plot type e.g. 'Scrap all Residential plots' etc.
 
Problematic plot is like saying the ocean has water in it.... so just going with plot change-out...

If you use Fallout 4 Script Extender (free) and use Place Everywhere, plot replacement is easy. As you are on PC, this is a simple thing to use. (if you don't then, yeah, trying to wiggle a new plot in with surrounding items is next to impossible - when you build, if you can, build with something a plot can snap to)

Or, you go hit the plot with the Architect's T-square and have a different plot randomly chosen.

Or, you go to the plot and select the options to change the plot...

Or, you refresh plots in the holotape.

Or, just release a nuke and create a wasteland. :)

I'm aware there are other tools and techniques for changing plot types, I'm suggesting a small expansion of the existing "scrap settlement" tool that is heavily recommended in all the troubleshooting guides.
