    I want to be able to select multiple measures at once via Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click and then delete them. Currently I can only select & delete one at a time.

    This feature is already available in the model view.

    If you go to the model view, by clicking on expand button for the data table where you want to delete a group of measures the list of all columns and measures will be displayed. Then you can use CTRL or shift buttons to select multiple measures. After the desired selection, by right clicking over it you have an option "Delete from model" to delete the selected measures at once.

    Hope this solves your problem.

    Measures are currently added, removed, or hidden one at a time. It would be helpful to have support for making edits in larger groups.
