Creating a CAD block of as-builts

I am VERY new to this program, and until a few weeks ago I was pushing a pencil around my drawing board. 

I was watching the instructional video on creating a CAD block of the as-built drawings to be used as an overlay/mask on my plan view so I could move walls and see where the original walls were.  In creating the block, I think I did everything correct, but I accidentally clicked on exploded view of the block.  it did not seem to do anything, however when I move the block to my drawing, a few parts and pieces of the drawing are missing.

 

is there a way to undo this error?  or, should I start over?

 

Thank you!

I create a cad detail from view and then create the cad block in the cad detail window. This way the original line work is available if needed to adjust anything or reblock. Also, I do a save-as of my plan and name it "whatever"as-built.plan so I have the 3d version available as well. Then open up the working plan to start on the proposed remodel.
