Unknown object making elevation windows huge

[SC_drafting]

I have a weird problem I haven't run into before- every time I open an elevation window, there's a ton of space on the right of my building, as if I have an object way out there that the program thinks I want to see in my elevation. I can't see anything that would be causing the problem, and if I zoom out in a plan view and try to find the object by marquee selecting the area, nothing seems to be there. It would mostly be a minor inconvenience if I weren't trying to send elevations to layout at the correct scale using the plot lines option. When I do that, it shows up on the sheet with a huge amount of empty space on one side, and when I crop the empty space out the image is very low resolution. Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

Have you just tried blindly erasing by window out in the area?  Make sure all your layers are turned on not locked?

After you crop, updating the layout box should refresh the elevation view to the correct resolution.

 

Check if your terrain is too wide to the right. The sent layout view will encompass all of it.  At random times I'll have a radius drive meeting the road improperly, or two opposing roof planes intersecting improperly, causing a curb or facia to extend off to some distant point. I sometimes can't see it until the 3d view is rotated just right and it flickers into view.

I turned on and unlocked all the layers, and turns out I had a puck light way far out that was causing the issue. Thank you!

Thank you!

Your welcome.  It happens to me a few times a year, so I thought it might be something like this.
