Elements have duplicate 'Mark' values", elements can't be found in model

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 18:55:01 GMT

So I have an issue with locating the elements that are giving me a duplicate "Type Mark" value in the Warning dialog box. This is what I have tried.

Went to the Warning dialog box and checked the box next to the element but the Show button and More Info are greyed out
Used the ID for the element to Select by ID.
- After clicking Show, I get a message that says "No Good view could be found"
- Clicked Ok, element was highlighted and saw info of the element in the properties but all fields were greyed out and I couldn't use the drop down in the properties to change the element (type, size, etc)
Created a schedule to try to locate the element by Family, Type, Type Mark, etc and couldn't be located in the schedule.
Took a look at the journal file just to see if I could ascertain anything unusual.
Workset is on
Created a new Default 3D View and locate the element to eliminate any visibility issues

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

-Check nested family ( such as a GM Door Leaf nested into a Door Family) that may not have a Mark, so it doesn't appear in Door Schedule.

-We have had the opposite of this happen--odd doors appearing on the schedule which were not doors on the floor plans. Turned out the nested leaf GMs had a Mark, which showed in the schedule. Removed the Mark and all was good.

So an update but not reason why this is happening.

So I was in Navis and added an entry under Quick Properties for Element ID. I used the value for Element ID that I found in the Warning Dialog box in Revit and searched for that value in Navis. A message was returned in Navis saying that object doesn't exist.

Next in Revit, I selected by ID by using the OK option, the item highlighted. Used a zoom to object tool and it zoomed away from the model. At this point I knew I wasn't deleting something important so the item was removed. All I can think of is a bug in the database. Thanks.
