Help finding phantom pipe

[Boxx250]

Plant 3D is creating an iso for a piece of pipe that I can't seem to locate in the drawing. I have thawed/turned on/layer walked/ 'Show All' Visibility, checked the pcf for the line's co-ordinates, drawn a line from those co-ordinates and zoomed to it, and still have found nothing. 

Any other suggestions as to how I can find this offending pipe & rid it from my model?

Thanks a bunch.

Maybe try adding to a selection. Right click on any part on the line, select "Add to Selection" then pick "Entire Line Number". After that, unselect with a window pick. You can hold the SHIFT key and window over everything. If there is anything else left floating in space, it should be the only thing still selected. You'll either see a blue grip somewhere or you can look in the drop down at the top of your Properties to see if something is still selected and if so, what it is...

First, use wireframe. The pipe might be inside some other pipe.

Second, use Data Manager. If it's a piece of pipe that's a problem, sort by length and see if any are 0 length. You should be able to find them in the model using the DM.

if you have multiple P3d drawings make sure that its not located any of theses other drawings within the current project

YES!!! That was it, I had drawn a 'test' line in another model within the project & promptly forgotten about it.

Thank you!

Good tip to use the Data Manager to troubleshoot. Wouldn't have thought about that, it reveals a multitude of sins! Thanks for the tip!
