Can't find axes by color

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello. I need to make some lines to be visiable in 3d. They are countours, boundaries of areas, where new houses are planned.

So, we made axes, now require changes. I've drawn new axes on top of older (violet over red). Forgot to change a layer. Now, going to "find and select by property" doesn't have axis in a list, and its color. ;-(

Is there any "lifehack" to overcome this?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by axis (axes?).
If you mean a perimeter then it depends on what tool you used to create it.
You will need to search for a line, polyline or fill in Find & Select.

Alternatively, just place your selection cursor over the perimeter and press TAB until you can select what you want.

In 3D you could use guidelines or Morph lines for reference. What did you use to create the ones you described?

Sorry, I completely missed the visible in 3D part.
The only lines that are visible in 3D are morph lines.

Or for boundaries of buildings/areas you could use the zone tool as well (make sure zones are not turned off in the filter 3D elements dialogue box).
Zero hight if you want them flat or give them a height if you want to show the overall size of the building.
