Making a post at the behest of the chief janitor 😉

I found the solution by realizing that the duplicate invisible elevators are offset in space by a few meters (towards the lobby) and are rotated 180 degrees from their correct facing. The fix involves finding the console of the invisible duplicate and sending it away from its current location in the lobby. This will make the elevator visible again and allow access to the lobby. My thinking is that this process moves a duplicate out of the way and puts it back into a “queue” of functional elevators. I’ve tested this around a dozen times, and it has always fixed the problem.

Assuming you headed for the lobby and are now stuck, do the following:

(1) Walk through the door so you can see outside the elevator.

(2) Center yourself in the middle of the doorway, look straight ahead…
