Hi

I am working with family components and I found that for some reason I cannot delete a component from the model... When I select it, the text is 'grayed-out' and I cannot do anything with it.  It is not pinned, and the box to make it editable is checked.  When I select it, I cannot move it around either.

Never seen this before.  Not sure how I did it either.

Please advise,

Thanks

If this is in a family template file, then you can't delete their existing stuff (reference planes, dimensions, etc.).  If you don't want something in your file, start out with a generic model of the type you need (wall based, floor based, etc.) and then go to settings->parameters/categories and choose what category you want your object to be (window, door, etc.)  Now you can make the family as you want it, without any of the premade B.S.

thanks,

I ended up finding a way to delete it afterall - I had something going on w/ duplicate components and my worksets were screwed up.

Thanks for the advice
