Hello, I'm looking for some advice on getting rid of a couple of annoying graphical elements that I can't see on the design model. I have run a CADQA check on one of our
drawings and the results state the following -
Error: element (Element Type106) with id (221506) in model (WB-Drawing Model) found'.Error: element (Element Type106) with id (234753) in model (WB-Drawing Model) found'.Error: 2 graphical elements found in the Drawings design modelNo elements found on Level '0' or 'Default'.
The problem is that I can't see the '2 graphical elements' that it is referring to. I'm very knowledgeable with MicroStation but this one has floored me. I had something like this
happen before and had a key-in which fixed it in seconds but I can't remember what this was as it was a while ago now.
I've tried all the usual things of removing shared cells, using explorer to look for the elements, searching using their ID number etc.
Does anyone have any advice or know of the key-in which could help?
I'm using MicroStation Connect version 10.13.00.48
Thanks in advance.

What is your QA checker? To my mind, it's not an error to find an element in a model. In fact, I expect to find elements in a model. What is the QA checker trying to tell us?
Element type 106 is an extended element. That covers a multitude of modern elements.

Hi Jon, It's one that's been set up in our ProjectWise for this particular project by others. It's designed to make sure the drawings adhere to their standards. The way the drawings are put together is one model with all graphical geometry, referenced into the design model at the back of the sheet and finally referenced onto the sheet itself. What they don't want is any graphical elements at the back of the sheet which is what this checker is saying is there. It's just flooring me as all I know of there is a referenced in OS tile, my referenced in geometry from the model and a couple of saved views. I can't see any element there that I can physically select and remove.

So are the saved views extended elements type 106? You can't see them as graphic elements for obvious reasons.
Try this:
Does the QA report now show a third message?
Error: element (Element Type106) with id (xxxxxxx) in model (WB-Drawing Model) found'
Where xxxxxxx is the element ID of your new saved view? If that's the case you know that you have a spurious error, reported because the QA checker doesn't know about saved views. Consult with the author of the QA rules to see if there's a way to placate the QA checker.
