I downloaded a model of an airco, stripped out the wall it’s attached to (select → delete key), and saved it as a new file, to have a clean model I can import. The problem is that when I import it into my main composition, that old wall is still there, although invisible and now inseparable from the main model (I can’t delete it without deleting the airco).
Have you deleted the complete wall or only the face and the edges are still there? Or have you changed the axis so that you get this big bounding box? You should upload the changed model and not only the original model link and we will be able to see the reason…
You might have a look up in that upper right corner for a similar segment. Delete it while the component is open for editing and all should be fine. Turn on Hidden Geometry first because the segment could be hidden.
I selected almost my entire screen (the size of the import is definitely within my selection) and hit delete (with hidden geometry revealed), and did the same with the drag-delete tool, but there was nothing there and the same thing still happens

I dunno what was going wrong,
[/quote] when opened the model had all the edges turned ‘off’, turning them ‘on’ makes selection of the face edges more obvious…
I’m guessing you where selecting the face but not the hidden edges for deletion, double clicking the face would also extend the selection to it’s edges…
I did turn on hidden geometry but that didn’t reveal anything. I turned it on and selected a wide area that would definitely have gotten those edges and hit delete even without the selection revealing any lingering edges. Jesus, I can read, you know. I dunno why those edges were being such a pain and wouldn’t show up.
My mistake. It was a style setting as John found. Edges turned off in your style setting. That’s alright for display purposes but not so good for drawing.
