DzinEye Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I have my model and site placed very near the 0,0,0 origin, but I'm getting the attached message during operations. I assume that this means that I somehow accidentally placed something way out in space. When I use zoom fill window I get what appears to be a blank screen and when I drag a selection marquee over the entire screen nothing selects (everything on, nothing locked)... so how the heck do I find whatever it is that's floating out in space? I tried searching on this and only came up with an article telling me how to move the model near the origin... which it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try again... I searched using all terms 'extents, extremely, large' hoping to narrow down the search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 It may also way out in Z direction also. Can be tricky to find sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the first link that popped up when I searched 'extents' alone was the one you refer to with the video you did prior. It was interesting that apparently Chief changed the language of that warning pop-up?!? The warning in the question you responded to used the terms 'extents unusually large ', while mine used 'extents extremely large' which is why my search went astray because I constrained to all search terms. Anyway... thanks for the video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... that's exactly what I was thinking when I couldn't find it using a marquee window. It appears now that it was just way way waaaaay out in space.

DzinEye Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 @Alaskan_Son Thank you Michael... much appreciated. I thought I zoomed out ridiculously far and still couldn't find it in a marquee. It appears it was 'ridiculously far10' I can't believe I didn't think of the select all method, but I would have been confounded by the deselection process anyway, so thank you for elaborating on that that alternative!

Terrain perimeters can't be cut and pasted. They get converted to standard polylines during the process. You can always turn the layer off and use your method in Edit Area Visible mode though.

That is true, but you lose any customizations you may have made in the Terrain Specification dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followup note too: You can also lose any terrain holes that may have been present in the terrain during the cut process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
