I am at wits end here.

Revit 2013 BSP - Structural Flavor

Revit Arch 2013

Working in the same project file. Revit BSP doesn't get the error. However, RAC users gets the follow error:

File <xxx> was modified by the third-party updater AREXRevitStart:ExtensionsReinfWall which is not installed.

If you continue to edit the file, data maintained by AREXRevitStart:REXExtension: DReinfWall will not be updated properly. This may create problems when <xxx> is later opened when AREXRevitStart:REXExtension: DReinfWall is present.

1) What is this extension? in question

2) How do I turn off this error OR how do I install the needed 3rd party extension

Have you had any luck on this?

We have been getting this error as well and the most recent testing lead us to believe that the cause of this is due to the Building Design Suite Premium Extensions 2013.

Seems like BDSP Extensions 2013 is not compatible with Revit Arch 2013 and causes the error message(s). Uninstalling it doesn't help either. However, those who have BDSP Ext 2013 do not receive the errors, only RArch users do. Pretty much tried everything. My option now is to start all over unless Adsk releases a hotfix of sorts.....

It's left me scratching my head......

Received this from Autodesk today:

The cause of this, there was a user that accessed and modified the file using a 3rd party updater (in this case "DreinfWall"), which the client does not have (thus triggering the message and most likely the crash). As these elements were modified using this updater, they are essentially owned by the updater and any modifications made outside of the updater, could cause issues when the file is opened or modified with the updater, as the user is reporting

For 2012 and later, the "do not warn" option was included so that you can disassociate the file with the 3rd party updater. I would check that option and continue working. When they get new files to link in, I would open it, disassociate it, save it, and then link the file.

To make sure the updater does not keep doing this, please review the following blog post which has steps for changing the code of the updater:

So the 'Third Party updater" that Autodesk mentions is actually their own product. It is the Reinforcement tool in the Autodesk Revit Extensions. Also it is not limited to affecting users of RAC2013. RVT2013 users running just the Arch profile are running into this as well.

Can anyone from Autodesk chime in on updating the code in REX to match their own best practice that was linked to earlier here? http://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/2012/05/avoid-the-missing-third-party-updater-dialog.html

Can this truly just be 'ignored' by the end user and it will not affect them again? I'm getting mixed reports here on if this actually has an effect on the stability of the product.

Just started getting this same error in Arch with linked models from MEP and Structural.  Can this message be ignored by the Architects as they won't be modifying the struct model?
