thanks for the ideas- if I get a moment I'll try most of them.

ELOQUINTET:  tried that and couldnt get it to work-but I've never used that command, but it seems ineresting and I plan to explore it more--plus the drawing was old and might have some flaws in it

Lock all layers except the one with the ceiling grid then erase "all". Or "getsel" and erase previous.

There really are lots of ways to skin a cat ...

This is the way I'd do it .

Command: pickfirst

Enter new value for PICKFIRST <0>: 1

Command: qselect

5 item(s) selected.

Command: erase
ERASE 5 found
