CENTRAL FILE Help PLEASE  

Hello,

 

Im having a problem with trying to create my central file and worksets...

I believe my problem is that I recieved a LOCAL file rather then the CENTRAL file.

I opened up the revit file i recieved and it says the local file has been saved under another user and i should either change my username or exit out of the project.

 

So should i ask for the CENTRAL file??

 

Any advice would be helpful...

 

Thanks,

You just need to open the file with the "Detach from Central" box checked. Then save your model as a new central and you'll be good to go.

Thanks.

 

After I created the Central File, I tried to open the file while making sure that the " Create new local" box was checked and i got a "Cannot Create Local File Box , This could be due to a network problem. Try again or contact Technical support"

 

Any Ideas on how to solve this?

 

Thanks again,

Hi,

I have no idea how your network or local computers are setup. I would troubleshoot the issue this way. First, rule out the problem is with your central file. Can you copy the central file from Windows Explorer to your local computer, rename is by adding your name (central file has to be unique from the local file) then try to open this local file in Revit?

If this does not work the issue maybe related to your network or the central file. If this does work the issue may be related to how and where you Documents folder is setup/located on your local computer (I'm sure there are other issues/reasons but for now...). If this does work you may need to see your IT people and determine where your Documents folder is setup on your computer (i.e. mine is: C:\Users\dtartaglia\Documents). You may not have read-write access to your folder or some other issue.
