Dark grey objects that cannot be selected (BlockEdit's fault again!)

What are these and how can I get rid of them?

No, I can’t share the file, so let me describe:

It looks as when you are editing a block instance and everything else turns dark grey. Only, these objects are outside of any instance.

They’re on a layer, though, because when I hide one particular layer, they disappear…

Hello

have you checked if the objects are not locked or is the layer on which the objects are locked ?

Dan

The layer is unlocked. How can I check if any individual objects are locked?

Hi

Just right click on the lock, that should unlock all objects.

Thank you, that was it!

God damnit, I discovered why I get these locked objects now!

At some point during block editing, when I’m exploding sub blocks, the main block somehow gets exploded as well… only, it leaves behind a copy of itself that is locked, essentially duplicating ALL objects, without warning.

Oh, and here’s the best part:

If I Undo past the actual Import itself, the locked objects are still there!

So now this sounds like a genuine bug. Could you cook up a file you can share that demonstrates this and get it to Pascal and the bigger brains?

Thank you as well!

Great,
Thanks,That helps :slight_smile:

Great! Thank you @kunf !

This solved the problem to me too.

It seems like this is still a bug in 2022, as it happened to me today with the last service release: can you do something @stevebaer ?

Bye.
