How to do I delete Ghost Windows in the Model?  They show up in the window schedule but now where in the modle.  In a 3d model, I check hidden settings panned all around.  I isolated all the windows and counted widows shown agains the legimate windows in the schedule and they match.  There was one instance of the type that was legit and I deleted that instance and the ghost are still in the schdule.   I even preformed a purge and that did not get rid of them.  

Is there a way to search the modle?  Kind of like find and replace?

First is to check for duplicates in the same place: Manage tab / inquirey / warnings. 

Next - goto a 3D view, turn off any cropping and do a ZE (Zoom extends).  Are there any windows in space.  Click on a "ghost" window in the schedule and have Revit show you it.

Finally - Do any window families have a nested window set to shared.

Thanks!  The Last suggestion was the ticket.   I am using Andersen's Window Studio Plug-In.  And for a window combination that had a factory mull pair, they had nested family for another window unit.  Knowing that those ghost are suppose to be there, I can filter the schedule to not show those ghost based upon the head height.  

However the client change their minds and decided to go with all casements.  So I think I will have different ghost now.

Thanks again.
