When I zoom extents in a 3d view, I've got some unwanted and invisible wall waaayyyyyy off to the side of my building, and I can't select it to get rid of it. I've tried zooming right into the area, but it still doesn't become visible.

I've determined that it is a wall by turning off the wall visibility in a 3d view, then zoom extents, which shows only the building. When I go through the Project Browser, and right-click/Select all instances for each wall type, it still is not selected.

Any ideas? I know Section Box would cut it out, but I'd rather get rid of it altogether.

You should be able to see / locate it in a 3D view.

Could be something in a Design Option... have any of those?

Using Phasing?

Hmmmmmm..

Can't. Zoom extents shows my building way off to one side, and a whole lot of empty space. I've tried crossing select over the whole area, and I've tried zooming into the far side, with no luck.

Nope, not using either.

I BET its a plan region.....plan regions only highlight when ou mouse over them. Very tough to locate when floating in space. I recommed a zoom to fit, and then run the mouse along the edge of the scren thats the farthest from the model.

I found the offending wall, by process of elimination, ie, delete a wall, zoom all, undo, delete another. It was one that had been changed recently. When I Disallowed Join, voila, zoom all, only the building shows. Chalk another one up for the d#%m wall joins.
