Database Items disappear

Anonymous — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 17:26:22 GMT

I created a new database off the default one. When i was reworking it and I went to open it and nothing is now there. I see them in the ITEM folder but nothing shows. Any idea? See photo...

Follow up question, how do I use this custom database in Revit once finished?

Thanks

I don't see you have the option to pick a service. Is this just missing from the image? If you see this, does the service have a service template applied? Does the service template have items associated with it? Does you Map.ini match your database if things were moved?

Once the database is good assign a GUID to it. It should then show up in Revit.

You should see it in Revit. Since it's the default database that is locked but has one assigned. Follow this link if you are having issues with getting the database loaded. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/Revit-Model/files/GUID-692C4E68-6A9D-4628-8E73-0C327E5677D4-htm.html.

I see the default ones no problem but im creating one that we and the designers all use. So it needs to be on our server. I then need it in Revit
