I looked at the svg... I'm able to simply double-click my way down into the groups to delete what seems to be the problem objects.

There are hundreds of groups and clips, so I wouldn't spend a lot of time chasing those if I can fix the small issues. The result is not the perfect example of a finished svg, but time is money.

People,

I have a PDF that was itself an export from a CAD (DWG) package (which is not accessible anymore).  I have imported this PDF file into Inkscape and have successfully deleted most of the objects I don't want in the drawing but there is one, major, obvious object left and I can't click on it to delete it so I thought I might be able to work out what the object is by looking at the SVG code . . but that is nearly 3MB in size . .

I attach a JPG of the drawing (I can supply the SVG if someone wants to have a look at it) - the main problem is the white rectangle which looks like an extension of the road.  Minor problems are lines and a little rectangle to the right of the white rectangle.  The original drawing was all green in that area so it seems those objects have been added on top (there is only one layer in Inkscape).

Can anyone think of a way of finding those objects - either in the GUI or by looking at the SVG code so I can delete them?

Thanks,

Phil.
