    Unable to select some elements in the 3d model

    Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
    Version(s): 08.11.09.866
    Environment: N\A
    Area: General
    Subarea: N\A

    Problem Description

    Unable to select some elements in the 3D model, what could be the problem?

    Steps to Resolve

    This could be due to bad data, First try choosing File > Compress to clear any unnecessary data in the file. Sometimes that's all it needs to resolve this type of issue(s),  if that doesn't work try the following:

    1- Create a new file and reference the "bad" file into the new file, copy all of the elements from the reference attachment into the active DGN file, and then detach that reference.

    2 - Select all the elements in the file and apply the Key-in TFREBUILD.  This may also help generate the elements and strip them of any bad data.

    As a good practice always back up your files to prevent loss of data.
