How can I get rid of a Blender element I cannot select? In object mode there is a blender element attached to a particular object which appears to be a vertex, though I'm working in a large scale, so it could be a small edge or face. I don't want it there, but I cannot seem to select the item in object mode, and it disappears in edit mode.
Check to see if you may have added a modifier to your object. Some modifiers, for example, the hook modifier, add empties that are used in the function of the modifier that show in object mode, but which cannot be selected in edit mode.
