    <description>&lt;P&gt;Currently, most of my relatively small/middle models can take up to 3 hours to upgrade, and that with a new fast PC.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Moreover, I receive many errors, starting with the "there is a circular chain..." that only gives the option to delete...really? DELETE part of a project model to be able to use a newer version of the software? And no even knowing what you deleted because the ID of course no longer exists when is finally opened.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, once upgraded, the model is a bit modified, for example the 3D cutbacks adjusted with "Change Reference" (see other Idea: &lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/framing-3d-cutback-default-options/idi-p/7891288" target="_blank"&gt;https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/framing-3d-cutback-default-options/idi-p/7891288&lt;/A&gt;) were reset back, so I have to redo everything.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I understand the philosophy behind the upgrade and compatibility (I think) but, if this is something that we have to do, for every single model, every year,&amp;nbsp;it would be a huge help if this could be faster and cleaner.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Can't say I've ever experienced model upgrade problems anything like this. I recommend removing this from the ideas area and posting it in the forum. Creating posts like this make it harder for good ideas to gain support.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I agree with @Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;I don't think this is a general Revit problem. We have project around 1 GB large and they don't take that much time to upgrade, nor do they give many errors.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Though I must say opening older families in R2018 often gives several warnings related to referenaces and dimensions, oddly the family doesn't "break" and still works.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3038657"&gt;@cuen.saul&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Before upgrading the project, open it with audit in their current Revit version, purge the file and Save As, this will lower the file size. Then upgrade the project.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I share some of &lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3038657"&gt;@cuen.saul&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; concerns. Below is an example of upgrading a 2021 model to a 2022 model. I don't understand why (a) revit can't show me what is being deleted and (b) why would dimensions need to be deleted just due to a minor upgrade from 2021 to 2022.&amp;nbsp; I can tolerate the slow process of upgrading, but I do think there needs to be an improvement on showing us what the elements are that are being deleted.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="deleted.JPG" style="width: 539px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/929265iCD3B858A188A53CD/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="deleted.JPG" alt="deleted.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
