data in file model.rvt is corrupt needs to be manually recovered

[Anonymous]

Using Revit 2013 and we are the MEP engineering for a new building.

For this specific project, the architect will send us his arch-model.rvt when we try to open it, we get one of two errors. It either gives me the error "data in file model.rvt is corrupt and needs to be manually recovered. Please contact autodesk support." or "An unknown error occured while accessing C:\arch-model.rvt"

The same error occured once two weeks ago. I had the architect resave and send and that fixed it. Now I've had the architect send me three different models, and each one give one of the two error above?

Is there something in the architect model that is corruping the file? We have worked with this architect on numerous project and are working with him on another project at the same time and no other issues?

Thoughts?

When you work in collaboration the first thing you need to check is to make sure you all have latest Revit updates or service pack

another question does this only happened in one machine or sevral ones?

here is a useful link you could check it out

Yes. We are all using Revit 2013. We also checked in the build # were the same and they are.

I don't know how this had anything to do with it but the architect now compressed the file into a .zip and sent it over. When I uncompressed it, the file opened right up.

What is inside this zip file, only RVT file?

Interesting, let us know if this will work for you during this week. it will help us to find and figure out the logic of it.

Hi,

I am experiencing the same problem and couldn't seem to fix it. I have already cleaned the TEMP folder, and tried to open on different computers but still got no luck. This is a non-workshared file. Does anyone have solutions on how to fix it? 

The file is too large to be attached here so if you want to try it I can send it to you with email.

Thank you in advance! Extremely appreciated!!
