Trying to maintain my model file and filter through all the warnings.  I'm down to 5 warnings in the "Elements have duplicate 'Mark' values" category.

They are all doors.  4 of the warnings identify a door that I can find in my model and another (duplicate) door that I cannot find anywhere.  (aka, there's a check box with the option to 'delete checked' beside the door I CAN find, and no check box at all or option to do anything by the duplicate door).  The fifth warning is for a door that I can find in my model but there's no option to delete and no check box for either it or the duplicate.

Anybody have any ideas on how to clear these out?  I've tried making sure there's no duplicate door in the exact location of the other.  I've tried looking at different phases.  We have no current 'options' to worry about. 

I know I'm probably just missing something silly.  Anybody out there have a light bulb?

Thanks a ton!

Do you have any groups?

You say "no current options" - This must mean that you had options.  Did you accept them or what?

Have you looked at these doors through a schedule?

To search for doors from a schedule, have the schedule and a 3D view open tiled.  Make sure you go through any options you do have. Something could be out in space......

Do you have any groups?  --None with doors in them

You say "no current options" - This must mean that you had options.  Did you accept them or what?  -- no options.  I can't say there were never any options, but all options have been accepted.

Have you looked at these doors through a schedule?  -- I did this.  No duplicates are apparent and none are hidden.

I'd be sure to set your view to Phase Filter - None.   Showing all phases at once.  Doors in the demo phase can be a real pain in the butt.  Which is what I would bet you're experiencing.

I've tried looking at phases and the phase filter with no luck.

Find the good doors you have and change them to a different type....

Then find the type that you have multiples of in the browser and delete that type.  ... Now you should see where it is.

I bet this thing is nested somewhere....

Stupid storefronts!!!

OK, so I ended up finding an instance similar to the invisible doors, selecting all instances in project and then deselecting each one until there were none left that I knew of.  This left the invisible door selected.  Then i could change its panel type from door to glazing and change the mark.

Tedious, but it worked.  I'm now Warning free!
