I broke my base's floor

[wmh2]

So, I was working on my base and I accidently raised the floor to the ceiling... I haven't been able to figure out how to lower it again.  After trying to do several things, I did find out that there is a <ctrl><z> for undo, but it was after I did to many other edits trying to fix my problem.  In the past, I normally just delete the room and start over when I encounter this issue.  However, I am hoping that someone will have a better solution.  😞

I had this problem, too, @wmh2.  Here's how to fix it.

 

With the column selected as pictured, click on Object in the lower left corner of your screen:

 

 

This will open the "Room Section" panel on the right side of your screen:

 

 

Click on the gray sections so that they say "Remove".  You'll see the column sections disappear to match.

This is constantly happening to me unintended.  If I deleted entire rooms to get rid of the problem I would have given up in frustration long ago.  Rathulf's tutorial is spot on.  You already have the correct square targeted in your picture above.  It sometimes helps to move the camera angle to straight down to target and fix these.

Thank you, thank you, thank you... you don't know how much time you have saved me and friends of mine who are also SG Leaders.  

 

I was never able to find this anywhere in documentation... because when you search for "broken floor" or "fix floor", nothing comes up.

You're welcome.  Your search was probably fruitless because it's not really the "floor", per se: it's a "Room Section" object, a 4x4 square area that extends from floor to the ceiling.  I agree with you that the documentation on base editing is pretty thin/incomplete.  Heck, the base editor GUI is pretty clunky, but I suppose that fixing it would be pretty complicated.  So we'll just have to look out for each other here in the forums.

I was just having this problem, columns would appear and I could not get rid of them.  It was hard to click on them to select them, had to fly up to where it meets the ceiling and click at that juncture until the blue selected color came up, otherwise it would randomly light up squares around it instead.

 

Thanks a bunch, four years later!
