Cannot select or delete toposurface

[Anonymous]

I've been searching for quite a while now, but with no luck - Hope someone in here can help me. 

I've been working in a Revit file for some weeks. In the beginning I created a toposurface from a DWG-file (contour lines). Afterwards I created a building pad. As the building has changed in size and shape, so has the building pad. 

My problem is now that I cannot select my toposurface, and therefor I cannot change or delete it. 

What to do? 

I have opened an earlier file of the project, copied the 'old' toposurface and then copied it into the latest file, which works, but I still can't select and delete the existing one. 

The rvt file is attached.

Hi!

You have "Design Options" and that topography is in "Topografi - Original(primary)".

Hi Dmitriy

Of course 🙂 Stupid me. Had forgotten that I had made the Design Options. 

Thanks a lot!

Best regards

Serious question- has anyone at Autodesk worked in an architecture firm? What if someone else put the element on a design option, but didn't label it... and they're not around to tell you what it is. This is an entirely foreseeable and typical situation. Is the solution really to cycle through oodles of options? Is that really the best Autodesk can do for the most expensive software in my office? 

Wild idea- make Revit work well with the way things actually go down in a busy, hurried office.... not some idealized and unrealistic work flow where the software only works if every person who ever touches the files does everything exactly textbook.
