Bob-Roraback Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I am attempting to clean up my layers in a particular plan. I have a layer that I can not delete even though it is not being used in plan ( Red + not displayed) in layer sets dialog. Any ideas for other reasons that I would not be able to delete this layer? Thanks for any help, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I can think of a few reasons you can't delete it: 1) It is one of Chief's protected layers (e.g. Walls, Normal; or HVAC; or Foundation). 2) The layer is referenced within a an Annoset, in which case you would need to remove it from the Annoset definition before it can be deleted. 3) The layer is referenced within a Block definition , in which case you need to delete and purge, or redefine, the block definition before the layer can be deleted. There are probably other reasons - I'm sure other folks will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob-Roraback Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Thank you Robert. I tried all that you suggested with no result so I shut off the program to try again later. I came back in a few minutes and restarted the program and then I was able to delete the layer. Thanks again! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
