Can't audit model missing elements but can be opened

I have a 2019 project model I'm trying to detach and update to 2020, but when I try to detach and audit, I get the missing too many elements and cannot open error. I followed this: http://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2017/ENU/?guid=GUID-9AFAAE6B-4107-4478-8B80-53467FE118DB but it appears the only solution is to use backup files, but the ones I have, have the same problem. I can open the model just fine in 2019 - can't I do something with it opened to fix this?

Sounds like it's corrupted beyond repair. No backup? That sucks.  

 

See if you can Link it into a new Project and Bind it.

@dcsank 

Typically when you cannot audit or upgrade a model (but it otherwise opens normally) this is an indication of a corrupt family or families within the model. Try the following steps to search for, and correct, any corrupt families within your project model.

 

  1. Open a COPY of the original model
  2. Save out the families. When Revit finds one that's corrupt, it will crash.
    https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/EN...
  3. Make note of the family that crashed Revit (the last family will be visible on the status bar in the lower-left corner)
  4. Close Revit
  5. Reopen Revit
  6. Open the central model from step 1.
  7. Delete the corrupt family from step 3.
  8. Save the model
  9. Repeat steps 2-8
  10. Repeat until Revit doesn't crash while saving the families.
  11. Get clean copies of the original families and reload them into the ORIGINAL model and overwrite the existing families.

If you reload and overwrite them with clean copies of the original families from a company set of standards, it will remove the corruption within the model that's preventing you from auditing the model, and ultimately upgrading it. Reloading the family will prevent a loss of data & information. The other solution, if you don't have access to the original family, is to delete the family from the model altogether.

 

Also, please see this Autodesk Knowledge Network article about what causes data corruption and what you can do to minimize the possibility of it happening again.

It's essentially the same process as outlined in the Solution section of this AKN article.

Also, below are a few links to some additional resources to help troubleshoot a corrupt Revit model.
