  Highlighting anything within a 3x3 area centered on the windmill also highlights the windmill for destruction.

  You can delete it by selecting it and using Trash icon.

  You can`t delete platforms that are next to windmills, otherwise the windmill also gets destroyed.

  I used the "Delete buildings" function and selected a rectangular area beside a Windmill.
  
  Expectation: Only items placed within the rectangular area should be marked for deletion - ie, Windmill should only be marked for deletion if its base is within the selected area.
  
  Behaviour: Large windmill is marked for deletion (ie, highlighted in red) when I select a square adjacent to it (diagonally or orthogonally), even if the base isn't within the selected area.
  
  I've only noticed this with Windmills (both large and small), have tried most other buildings and can't replicate.

  I've noticed this bug on both size windmills. If there is a platform that touches a windmill only on it's corner, (caddycornered?) you cannot delete that platform without also deleting the windmill.

  When I tried to build an elevated wind farm, I noticed that a large windmill is coupled with the platform 1 level below next to it and removing that platform (even if the platform was constructed and the windmill is), will remove the windmill.

  When you try to delete a levee that's in one of the squares surrounding a windmill, it automatically highlights the windmill too. You have to delete both in order to delete the levee.

  If I try to multi-select and delete paths under a large windmill, the tool also selects the windmill for deletion even though the windmill itself is supported by the adjacent block.
  
  It is kinda frustrating when you create a large windfarm and try to remove the pathways below using the multi-select tool but all the windmills also get selected.

  Might be related to the windmill bug, but I get a similar problem when using the "delete buildings" tool with wooden platforms directly under metal platforms. It tries to delete the metal platform. Selecting the object first and then deleting works fine though.

  The building deletion tool does not allow you to select blocks beneath the windmill without selecting the windmill. Picture shows large windmill, however also appears with normal windmills too.

  When you have 2 items at different levels and want to delete the bottom item it keeps selecting the item that is higher also. This causes massive loss of resources if the built item at the higher level is like a windmill. If you need to delete 1 item there should be a hold shift and click to force the system to select 1 item and not more then one.

  I would like to destroy the bridge alone with the destruction tool, but in the event that it is next to a building, this one is also selected.

  I selected an incomplete platform, and it selected a diagonally adjacent windmill. The windmill highlighted red too, but since I had not click/dragged, I thought it was a visual bug so I accepted the delete warning popup.

  When using the deletion tool selecting a road directly below a windmill also marks the windmill for deletion. Due to the 3D structure of the windmill being 1 block at the base and 9 block wide at the top it thinks you are selecting the windmill as well being the only building that does not occupy the same space at the top and base.

  When using the building destruction tool on any building/path next to a wind turbine the wind turbine is also selected for deletion, irrespective of if it is actually part of the selected deletion area...
  
  This also applies to planned turbine ghosts

  Yes, it's problem with tool collision detection.

  This is in the experimental branch on macOS. Whenever I try to delete an object adjacent to a large windmill, the large windmill is always selected as well. I also noted that if you move the delete building tool into an empty cell adjacent to a large windmill, it will select the large windmill as well and may be part of the same issue.

  When trying to fix a power problem I needed to delete a platform next to a Large Windmill it destroyed the windmill. I have tried all angles but only highlights both.

  There is an option - delete it from building window. Issue with selection interfering with windmill or bridge collision boxes is known and should be eventually fixed.

  For some reason whenever I delete a platform right next to a windmill, the windmill also gets deleted. it does show in red that it will happen, by highlighting it red, but I'm not selecting a platform the windmill is on.

  Hi,
  I don't know if it's a bug or me who didn't understand something so i'm sorry if it's the second
  i can't place the sawmill where i want (picture) there is nothing there that could explain why and before i build the wind turbine I think it was green so I wsn't sure if I needed a gear to connect the wind turbine to the sawmill I put one to be safe but now i can't build it (I try in different direction as well, before putting the path) any idea why ?
  
  EDIT : so I think in the picture i try to connect it with the window ... but as i said and i tried again with a gear workshop in every way possible ( destroying some of the path) it doesn't work
  I try building another wind turbine it doesnt the same

  Wind turbine requires more clearance from buildings, you should build them 1 tile away from buildings or place them on platforms. some buildings like smelter have even larger collision model, so be careful with that.
