I am trying to find the revit file version on a .rvt file I am not able to open I am using Revit MEP 2011 x64 already tried to audit, detaching and both at the same time with the message that says "the file is corrupted and needs manually be recovered" can someone give an advise.
If you are on Adesk subscription I would send them the file RevitSupport@Autodesk.com.
If not try:
Its is a Central file downloaded from a ftp site. the "detach from central" option is checked.
I believe if created in earlier Revit version it should open if the audit box is checked.
The file version makes no difference if it's corrupt or not. If your trying to open a file in a later version of Revit it will just upgrade that file. It sounds like you need to have whoever put that file on the FTP site replace it with one that will complete it's upload. Sometimes uploading to an FTP site can do this, because the file never actually fully uploads..
