Nathan,
Thanks! The culprit was indeed on a different floor. Not sure why it only
became an issue on floor 5 but your suggestion worked. I was hesitant to
specify exact coordinates from the beginning due to a hodge-podge of
autocad files/generations/drafting companies we received for this project.
'Exact Coordinates' is my usual method and this most recent issue has
proven it is still the best method.
