Hello everyone!
I've got a problem with making a linked file from a group. After clicking the option, picking that I want a new file, and specifying where it should be located, Revit seems to work for a second or two after which he stops, and proceeds to work normally as if nothing happened. The file is not created, the group is still a group. Any specific thing that might be causing this?
The group is fairly complicated. Buildings with some complicated families, curtain walls, phases, two worksets, groups, a lot of detail elements... I'm guessing there might be a lot of reasons for the problem, but maybe there is something specific that usually causes an error like this?
The files should have been separated a long time ago, but the whole concept changed a lot. The problem now is that the file is over 400 mb, so that's why I trying to make it smaller.

Well, Model Groups are not the best speedwise, good decision to make it a linked file. It is so heavy that maybe your computer and/or Revit can't handle it.
Maybe not the answer you expected, but probably the best you can do is making a copy of your model and delete everything outside the group in model 1 and ungroup, and in model 2 delete only the group. Then link model 1 into model 2?
In future, avoid making big Model Groups, they are just not the best.
Hi @LOESCH_PK
Can you quickly double check is that your machine is not running out of RAM. This would very significantly affect the performance of Revit.
1.Please clear you temporary folder
2. See Revit and Virtual Memory and some recommendations to optimize performance
3. Remove unused views
4. purge the model, do this at least twice.
5. Save as under a new name and compact the model (This option reduces size when saving workset-enabled files)
6. Specify fewer worksets when opening the file
7. See Memory Usage and Instability
Let me know if this helps with your issue. or else I'll be glad to test your file.

@LOESCH_PK - down and dirty method here - I fear that @Viveka_CD is right, your file may be too complex to use the state of the art method.
Save a copy of your project, archive the original.
Save another copy. Clean out whatever you don't need, purge out redundant stuff. Then link it into the first copy. Clean up again. Lather, rinse and repeat for as many links as you need to create.
Once you're done - PURGE ruthlessly. That will help with performance of files this size. Make sure that all unnecessary locals, the Journal folder, and the TEMP folder are cleaned out. You'd be surprised at the amount of rubbish that resides in these locations.
Hello everyone!
Thanks for the replies! I've got 16 GB of RAM on my machine, on my machine, and VRam set to over 4 GB. Revit with other programs while running takes up about 60-85% of that. Also did some purging but that didn't help. I suspected that there might be an element corrupting the operation. Threw trial and error I tried grouping and linking chunks of what I wanted, and found that a single in-place modeled and grouped element was causing all the problems. After changing that in-place family to a loaded family I was able to complete the linking.
Thanks again for your help and attention!
