Problem with reloading groups - Bind Link

sl — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 11:13:52 GMT

Hi,

I use Revit architecture 2020.

I get a warning about "Bind Link" when reloading a group.

But there is neither link in this group nor attached files in the families withing this group.

What can be the problem and how to fix it?

The Bind Link warning says:

This link is approximately 10MB or greater. Loading large amounts of data can impact performance. Consider linking instead. Continue? Yes/No

Please see attached pic.

Thank you

Best regards.

Using Bind Link the element of the link will be elements of the project e.g. families.

I Never use this fuction.

Revit is warning you that it is better to link the model instead. Choose NO

Hi Mr. Amodio,

Thank you for your answer.

With choosing No, the group will not be relaoded.

There is no warining when reloading other groups.

Just wonder why this warning only appears for this group?

Best regards,

Soren

Because 10 MB for a group is incredibly huge.
For example A HVAC model for a 5 storey residential building is approx 15 MB.

Do the math.

Hi,

It will always give you this warning as long as your group is greater than 10MB.

Reloading a group is almost the same as binding the Revit link.
