Hello everyone,
I’m a newbie and am really enjoying the free web version which I’m using to design a storage shed. What is driving me crazy though are seemingly random tiny lines and sometimes surfaces that are often hidden below other objects and I don’t see them until I temporarily hide the obscuring object. Then I can delete them and unhide the object. I often have to zoom in extremely to see these lines and surfaces.
I assume I’m doing something wrong procedurally that is causing these small lines and sometimes small surfaces while I’m stumbling around trying to do things in the app.
Is there anything like a command to “Show orphaned lines and surfaces” or some other more efficient procedure I can use to find and delete these?
Thanks!
I don´t use the web version but if you go to the search area and type hid it will show you the options to make hidden lines visible and vice versa.
If you share the file we could check why are those lines being created.
well, in your own words, you’re a newbie. so off course, you’ll make tiny errors here and there. we all did, and we all do. it gets better 
I wonder, do you use groups / components ? if so, you can use that as a trick :
you can select all. you see I have Ty, a component, and 3 grouped boxes. and some random ungrouped stuff.
then, I’ll right click on something and go to select / deselect faces and lines.
what remains is all the groups and components.
a third right click / select and invert selection.
now all that is selected is the ungrouped / uncomposed geometry, ready for deletion.
in the go version there is an outliner panel where you can hide all the groups and components manually, leaving only the raw stuff. this is the free method

Thanks everyone. Yes, I’ve been using these options when necessary to help me find them:
Still, it’s difficult because some of them are visually tiny and I can’t see them unless I zoom in extremely.
I suspect what I’m doing is not clicking precisely when I do things like draw lines and rectangles so I end up missing the correct points I want and then when I don’t see the right results, I probably do it again, rather than remembering to Ctrl-Z first. Thus I’m often left with all kinds of random junk under other stuff.
It would be awesome if there were some type of command that would immediately hide all connected surfaces and lines and only show you unconnected surfaces and lines so it would be obvious and easy to delete them.
