    Hello, I am having an issue with the delete building sliding bar staying on one particular building. Is there any way it can be removed? I attached a screenshot.

    Thanks!

    I have only seen it hapen if the game is paused and you delete something. Not sure why if not paused why one building would do it.
    Do you have the name of the building/mod or is it a ingame building?

    I'm not sure. Does the log show what happened when the delete started? Could be a line in there that shows an error.

    I am not sure. Could you direct me on how to pull the log and show you? I am not too familiar with how to.

    For full details see
    All-you-need Tech Thread

    You need to have hidden files and folders showing to find the log folder.
    Its location is C:\Users\*YourUsername*\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XXL\log

    Open it with notepad or notepad++ and have a look through it. See if the mod building name is in there somewhere to pinpoint it.
    As its not causing a crash, posting the last ten or so lines won't really help.
    I'm just wondering if the delete process on that building remaining is causing a error that will show in the log.

    Just a thought, have you got a save point you could go back to before you placed that area of buildings?

    think I may have it here. It is actually a building from the base game. It is one of the asian residences from the packs. Here is what it might be:


    [14:27:04] SIMLAYOUT sltCoLayouts.cpp ( 173) Error [sltCoLayouts] : can't get layout : "Data/Design/Layout/Surface/MassPlacementTool/bldmap_PackAsie_Residence.layout" in prototype : "data/design/buildings/construction/massplacementtool/bldmap-packasie.class"
    [14:27:04] CORE mcFile.cpp ( 198) Error can't open file Data/Design/Layout/H_AllFri/h_m464_01_28_t4_Base.layout


    I can send you the whole log if you would like

    Not sure what can be done apart from reverting back to a prevoius save. As the building deleted fine for the other copies you made then I don't think the building is at fault. I'm guessing somethings gone wonky with your save file.
    Maybe someone else here has had this happen before. Issue is there is not many players around now. You could try over at simcitychina
