Structural Elements disappearing after saving and opening large models

joe.akiki45GWY — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 16:34:28 GMT

Hello,

I'm having a problem after saving large models. When i open those models , a lot of structural elements disappeared as you can see in this exemple. this isn't the first time it happens . Has anyone had this problem before ?

The only solution i found is to open the model in repair mode. This works a lot of times, but i find it risky anyway since you may lose some of the data sometimes . ( supports …) .

Do you know what is causing this problem and how can i avoid it .

Try geometry/stories/filter stories

Hi,

Stories are not yet defined in this project.

I dont think this issue is related to stories because i have it on large models in which stories are defined and on others where stories aren't defined yet.

the problem occurs after saving a model with a heavy geometry, closing and then opening it.

Thanks

Send the model. Zip it before attaching

Thank you.

Hi Romanich, thank you for you reply.

So the problem is still unsolved by Autodesk ?

We don't know what's causing it besides that it happens on big models ? So We don't know either how to avoid it.

The only working solution for now is opening in repair mode ? Knowing that this solution is risky as others have mentioned and we can lose some elements and loads .

Thank you.
