Preparing a model of a replicated database with subscriptions but no Data Load

$

Using Transactional replication.

I would like to subscribe to a publication in order to transfer all the objects (tables, indexes, PKs) but not bring over the Snapshot of the data (saving tons of time).

To that model I would then add all our non replicated objects (derived Tables, additional indexes, etc)

I would then use that model as a means of comparing to an existing DB in order to ID any structural Diffs that need to be scripted.

Someone mentioned not implementing the SPs for Insert/Update/Delete but I don't think that would prevent the initial Snapshot from being applied and that Snapshot has a ton of data.

Is there any way to transfer the structure but not the Snapshot of the Data to a subscriber?

Thanks
