01/07/2026, 6:17 PMthere is a particle waveform stroke stuck in my scene. It randomly appears near me in the scene as a string of tiny glowing triangles and shimmers around - moves when i do - I cannot catch it or select it or delete it. i really like the scene and can't make it over again. when i publish it to viveverse - i can see where the waveform stroke is drawn but when I go there in the sketch, I can't see it. I tried saving as a new file and of course it just went along. is there any way to get rid of this thing?

01/09/2026, 3:04 PMthis is interesting as it highlights a couple of separate problems. waveform particles has always been buggy and behaves weirdly when you rescale the canvas. this makes it very difficult to select and delete.

01/09/2026, 3:05 PMone trick I sometimes use to select strokes that are to select normally is to zoom out to the maximum so my select tool is huge compared to the scene but you've drawn your scene at the maximum zoom so that won't work. it would be nice to be able to override the maximum zoom at times like this!

01/09/2026, 4:27 PMthank you! that's the latest version. yeah, if you can fix it, that would be fantastic. it's small but it really bugs me - and i would rather it wasn't in the published version.
i tried zooming out all the way and couldn't find it. i also sccoted all around the area but the triangle ghost line just kept moving. i assumed it was those two waveform lines i saw in viveverse because i could see it in there but not in the original sketch but yeah it didn't occur to me it might be something else. - yeah it would be nice to somehow be able to select all of a certain brush to delete.
