I encountered a very odd project issue. First off I've resolved the issue (by copy/paste into a new project file) but it's wierd enough to share. No idea what caused it...just suspicions

This is a project started in 5.1, moved to 6.0 one day later, done by a total new guy. Using an existing project as an excuse to learn since they need some ThreeDee views to do some project renderings. Very simple rectangular bldg.

Two levels are present in this project that you can't select, they are grey'd out too. I've tried all phase filters, phase combinations. I've checked to make sure design options were not in use. Check every Vis/Grap setting I could think of. No worksets involved. No scope box. No groups...very basic model.

There was a roof that you couldn't select either and it too was grey'd out. But I got rid of it by browsing through roof families, select all instances and then de-selecting the good roof and Revit let me delete the wierd one.

I suspect that the roof and levels came on board through a copy/paste action but the designer doesn't remember. It could be compounded by the fact that it was upgraded but hard to say. Definitely weird!!

Any ideas? I can post the file for the curious/challenge minded. Here's an image of an elevation view to show the ghosts.

" I see dead levels..." but I don't see Bruce Willis.

Probably a good one for support to look at ?

You checked there were no linked rvt files showing in halftone .... right ?

Does the section also show the "dead" levels ?

I had a very similar project just recently, but I had a ghost floor slab. It couldn't be selected and displayed in alll views as grey. Checking worksets, design options, etc. turned up nothing. Fortunatly I was just starting the project so a copy/paste fixed everything up.
