Zoom extents, causes "white out"

Celestian · June 2011

I am having this odd behavior with a map. When I press "zoom extents" the map whites out and I can't zoom back in to the map. The entire map window is just white. The map originally didn't do this and I'm not sure when it began happening other than I was trimming up some walls/floors to make entries.

Anyone have an idea? I did try to select/remove items outside of my map thinking somehow I had created a room that was huge but couldn't select anything to delete outside of the visible map I have.

This sounds like a corrupt map entity somewhere. I'd try to go through the sheets individually (hiding all others) and see where the zoom goes wrong. Then delete that sheet (if possible) and see whether the rest of the map is fixed. You can try to copy all normally selectable entities to a different sheets before you delete.

If that doesn't help, send me the map (ralf@profantasy.com) and I'll check whether I can fix it.

Looks like it's somewhere in my WALLS layer. I've tried to copy the layer, then just what I can select... both cause CC3 to hang. I need to head off to work but I'll tinker with it some more this evening. I'd really like to avoid having to re-wall the entire dungeon ;(

Attached my map for review in the mean time. You'll need to enable the sheets to see things properly. Thanks for your assistance!

I figured out where the problem was. Once I determined it was the wall layer I decided to try something out. I would select and erase sections of the wall, zoom extents and undelete if the wall was not the problem portion. Once I found the problem section I narrow the search down to a small section which I left deleted and recreated.

Thanks for your help!

Glad to hear you were able to find the problem.
