I can edit elements (change pen colours and fills) but as soon as i delete something, it deletes, but there seems to be a background layer of the same drawing that doesn't delete at all. So the only way to get around this is to draw white fills over the parts that i don't want and then bring the other layers to the front (which I don't really wan't to do). There must be another way? Some kind of layer combination?</T></DIV> Tue, 30 May 2023 10:39:19 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Exploding-external-drawing-into-current-view-cant-edit/m-p/249672#M6151 Anonymous 2023-05-30T10:39:19Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Exploding-external-drawing-into-current-view-cant-edit/m-p/249673#M6152 I solved my own problem ahha <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_biggrin.gif" style="display : inline;" /> <BR /> highlight the drawing and go to the drawings settings<BR /> under the properties tab - click 'drawing's own layers' and turn of all the pens then press ok Thu, 14 Jan 2016 21:51:51 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Exploding-external-drawing-into-current-view-cant-edit/m-p/249673#M6152 Anonymous 2016-01-14T21:51:51Z
