Hi johnkeane440 ,

If you're having troubles with this forum site, you might switch browsers, I have some troubles with Internet Explorer 11, that I don't have with Chrome.

As for your Inventor question,

You can delete the projected loop from the browser, or break the link to delete part of it:

a tip on projected geometry:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
