Hi folks...  only 3 day's into this software and learning a lot.  I have a home design 3/4 complete, but this morning I added a piece of exercise equipment to a second floor loft.  For some reason I can no longer find it on the 2D floor plan (although it shows up in the 3D view).  I've tried to select it in 3D hoping it would show up on the 2D model, but no luck.  Any hints on what I've done wrong.  I want to delete it, but when you can't see/select it, not sure how I'd do that.

Thx.  Warren

Hi Warren,

Follow these tips:

Finding objects in 2D
Start with the first level, in the first tab (Foundation) and go over the following tabs (Floor, Electrical, etc). Repeat the process in the second and third floors, with all the tabs , until you find the object(s)
Finding objects in 3D
If you wish to select the object in liveview, you can use the 3D selection tool (arrow icon --> Live view screen) You can select items just on the active floor / tab. So, if you click on the object in live view and it doesn't become active in the plan, try with other level /tab (try all the levels independently of the level where the object seems to be)
I suggest to work with liveview / split view so you can control the plan and the live view at the same time
