I was building, placed a door in this doorway, and couldn't get through:

There's nothing there. No invisible brick.

It ended at this corner.

There was also another similar object over here:

Do you have any idea what these are and what caused them? Reloading the save didn't work, but restarting the server did, so it's not like it's still a problem.

The door was closed, you have to open it.

did you use an invisible spraycan?

Those are ghosting failures, the bricks exist on the server, but your client doesn't show them.

No. Clearing all bricks and reloading the save didn't remove them.
And I know they aren't part of the save, because restarting the server and reloading the save removed them.

yeah, i've been noticing goofy ghosting stuff like this recently

especially with bricks that use .dts collision

Were you using zones?

I actually have a similar issue with vehicles which also have .dts collision and model, so that may be relevant.
I can hit the vehicle but it's invisible. It becomes visible again if I get into it though.

I had them enabled, but no zones were placed.

I have noticed this quite a bit during servers with large amounts of vehicles. The actual shape is underground while the collision is above ground. Only happens if i am ghosting a large build.
