Hidden Level

I'm trying to add a level and name it "3 - Waste and Vent" but when I try to rename it, it keeps telling me that the name is already in use. I've expanded and looked through everything in the Project Browser under every discipline and it's nowhere to be found. Is there anyway to highlight it somehow so I can find it and get rid of it so I can actually name the level what I want it to be?

Create a Levels schedule and delete the row.

-Turn on all Worksets--does it show up?

-Any chance the Level was Copy/Monitored from another Linked File?

-Cut a new Section thru the entire model--do you see the Level?

-If you find it--don't delete it--just move it to the correct height

@cbcarch Unfortunately, the architect/GC was unwilling to share their Revit model and all they would send me were dwg exports because that was "all they were comfortable with sharing" (can't wait until they request as-builds, I'm only going to send them pdf exports out of sharing concerns). So I had to start from scratch and link the dwg's into Revit, so there's no copy/monitor. I cut a new section through the building, but they don't show up, but my dwg's show up at the height I put them at and the Properties shows them associated with the correct level; the level just seems nowhere to be found.

@ToanDN  I made the level schedule and it found them, but it can't find them to highlight in model. If I delete them, then it also deletes my linked dwg file too. Is there a way to adjust their discipline & sub and other properties from within the schedule to get them where they need to be and preserve the imported floor plans?

Hopefully this screencast helps show the problem a little better.

Do this:

- Create an elevation and isolate Levels

- Open the schedule and the elevation and close everything else, tile them (WT)

- Highlight the row on the schedule and click on the title bar of the elevation view window to make the view active. Do not click on anything else or you will lose the selection.

- Right click on a blank area of the elevation view to open the context menu, choose maximize 3d extent and see if you can see the Level now.

What the heck causes that to happen?
