dskogg Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I am trying to export a model to sketchfab and there is some rogue item in my model on the outskirts that i cant find that makes my model too wide so when i export it as a .3ds file the actual model of the structure is very small. Any thoughts on how to find this item? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I think that I may hold the CA record for this as I once accidentally launched a Polyline solid by scale 2/3 of the way to the moon. Check this thread here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I assume you've tried the 'All On' layer set? And made sure every layer was actually set to display? Checked all floors? Hit cntrl 'A' to select all? Hit the show all icon? That's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dskogg Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 I cant seem to find the rouge item, i have tried turning on all layers and still cant find it. When i select perspective full overview i get nothing but white space, probably because the model is so small in this view. Anyways here is the model if someone can help that would be great, thanks in Advance. David terraburst 1.2 SF model.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_Morrison Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 On floor one, you've got a tiny piece of wall far away from the model. Go to floor one and zoom extents (i.e. zoom "Fill Window.") Then zoom out a little more. You'll see a tiny black dot near the bottom of the screen. Zoom into that and delete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Nice find Richard, however there are four other items that you will also want to delete. -Light -2x4-Fluorescent off to the left on floor 1 X= -153266 Y= -8162 Z= 0 -Cluster of cad plot plan lines off to upper left on floor 1 X= -203319 Y= 111420 Z=0 -Plot plan line on floor 1 X= 219989 Y= -100637 Z=0 -Rich Text Label on floor 1 X=151309 Y= -111422 Z=0 The Key is this little tool here or sometimes even more useful is CTRL+A in each view with the All on Layerset. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_Morrison Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Well, since it might be instructive for the future, here's how I did it. I went to each floor and did a zoom "Fill Window". It was on floor one that the zoom jumped to outer space. Okay, so you know that the rogue entity is going to be somewhere near the edge of the screen on this floor. Zooming out a little further let me see the little black dot. However, if the dot were too small to see, I would make sure that all layers were turned on and unlocked, and then do a Shift-Select at each screen edge. One of the selection boxes is likely to pick up the object, and then just delete it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum never ceases to amaze me. David Larry tried to tell you a very good method in Post #3. Switch to your All On layer set and make sure all layers are actually turned on (Select All and check Display) Start at your bottom or top floor and Hit Control+A (Select All). Do this one floor at a time and you'll eventually find a floor where your selection area is larger than you expect it to be. When that happens... Fill Window (F6) as Richard and Chopsaw also mentioned. This should help you locate the rogue offender(s). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point! I should have looked a little further, and not stopped after finding the first rogue element. However, in my defense of my own laziness, these CAD items shouldn't have any effect on the model export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
