I copied one half of the map so I can start editing the blue side. When I select the one half in the picture below the selection box does not surround the proper area and no matter where I move it on the grid its always inside the other half othe map. What is causing this. Even if I drag over the right half again the box is always this big.

sometimes copying overlays cause this behavior for me.

what i usually do when this happens, is move the duplicated level chuck into an isolated area, like you had, deselect, and then re-select that area for a clean selection.

if that doesn't fix the problem, the only other thing i can think of, is that you might have accidentally grouped an out-skirting object to that chucnk? try ungrouping everything and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks Mint I will check and see if your fix works. I have done the re-selection though nothing changed. I may have an idea as to what overlays are causing the problem.

I went in and right off the bat I checked the map for errors. I got a tone of overlays with angles messed up. I also had a few overlays with no assigned faces. I went threw and corrected these issues. So after I did that I tried selecting the copied chuck as a whole again and was still getting the extened selection box. So I then tried Snap to Selected Grid one more time and BAM problem solved. Thanks for the help guys.
