Hi.  I am doing work on a historic building where the interior is going to be completely gutted and redone.  What we had to do was come up with a new design for the interior and that involved cutting a hole in the floor to make it open to the level below.  I made up 3 phases for this project, existing, demo, and new construction.  So, what we did first was just try to cut an opening in the floor in the new construction phase, but it didn't show up.  So, then we moved onto a shaft opening and that showed up.  Unfortunately after looking at it and saving it a bunch of times, I realized that the opening is there in all phases and all views.  Now, I want to get rid of it from at least the existing phase views, and there is no way of selecting it or anything.  I even tried deleting the floor and putting a new one back in, but the shaft opening is still there.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brandon

If you go to 3D view and place your cursor just above the opening does the shaft not highlight?  Its not visible until you move your cursor to that location (along the edge)...

Someone else is having the same issue as well...
