Viz issues! (Revit and Worksets)
the_donn
spent 20 minutes trawling blogs looking for some suggestions. Found
all sorts of interesting OTHER stuff, but would like to draw your
attention to this really interesting blog entry:
http://revitoped.blogspot.com/2006/06/detach-from-central.html Read
this blog in full, but the oped piece is entitled 'Detach from
Central' and offers 6 scenarios when this function should be used
including: "Internal Rendering:
So you like Accurender but wish the rest of the team would leave the
project alone long enough to get your mitts on it? Sounding like a
broken record now...DFC and go to town. Or maybe you don't like
Accurender and plan to export to Viz or Max? Same deal..."
=========================================================================
I want to say - take a deep breath ans step back for a moment. Else
this will keep happening and is then likely to be caused as much by
haste and anger as any apparent problem with the machine / network.
e.g. Somewhere in the past 10 weeks we have talked about backups.
Questions that immediately come to mind are:
- Why was there no I:\drive copy of what you had on your portable HDD?
- Check the pull down Customize menu item > Preferences > Preference
Settings dialog > Files tab - this should show you where the
autobak.max file is located.
- after you saved the file to the HDD, did you try reading it back in
before shutting up shop?
- what (if any) error messages are you ignoring in getting to
'something that works' ?
