In surveyor, when I bring up the mini map it shows that I have 4 invisible platforms all in the same place. I don't even know how they got there. :confused: They sure are invisible I guess, I sure can't see them or delete them. What are they for? I don't see the purpose of invisible platforms and if I want to get rid of them, what do I need to do?:confused:

Have you tried right clicking on the mini map where the name indicates then click delete and then click on your map where the compass is. It's pretty hitty missy but works after a few attempts. Hopefully someone will be along with a more precise method and explanation.

I've seen those invisible platforms used for many thing on the early days of the passenger patch.

They were used to allow the use of non interactive stations, just place one on top of the current station and your station will come alive. And I have seen others use it for other stuff too.
 
Oh, okay that makes sense, but I SHOULD be able to see them slightly in surveyor I would think. I tried to delete in the mini map but no success yet. I don't know how they got there because, until now, I didn't know they existed.

You can see them slightly in surveyor but you have to zoom in on them , and therefore you have to know +- where they are.
 
I tried and tried in the minimap but could not delete them and can't see them in surveyor. I know I should be able to because I just brought up that item and installed it and I can see it and deleted it. It's like the first four are not there at all even though the minimap shows them.
 
If youve brought up the item and installed it check the kuid in the maps config and try and delete it from there. Also if you use the object move and right click around the track area it should move or show up.

Usually these platforms shows up like a thin white sheet in Surveyor but I've had completely invisible ones to. Deleting them is a bit like shooting from the hip.

At one time I had to use stronger measures - copy and paste. Select an area you can accept replacing that with the invisible platforms, then make sure to include "objects". You also have other features like "rotation" and "height", make use of them aswell if you need. If not satisfied, you can always "undo". (but sparingly though)

IMO copy and paste is sometimes an invaluable feature in Surveyor.

Well , as long as I cannot see them and they apparantly do nothing, I suppose there is no harm in leaving them. I just think it is odd that they are there and am trying to figure how they got there, more than anything else.I have used undo as far back as it will go and they still show in mini map. Zooming in shows that something is there and the name turns yellow but will not delete. I tried adding a couple intentionally and I COULD see them and they deleted okay. Strange!!!!

I might have read your second post wrongly but you don't delete in the mini map. It is done on the main map. It does work but patience is required.
