Abstract: The main results of this paper are a construction of a countable union of zero dimensional sets in the Hilbert cube whose complement does not contain any subset of finite dimension $n \geqslant 1$ (Theorem 2.1, Corollary 2.3) and a construction of universal sets for the transfinite extension of the Menger-Urysohn inductive dimension (Theorem 2.2, Corollary 2.4).
