Cannot save this document because Color Fills are calculating.

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have looked around on the forum but I don't seem to find anything, so I don't know if it is a problem of my own.

I just updated to Revit 2016 R2 and I keep getting this warning that says "Cannot save this document because Color Fills are calculating" every time I try to save.The same happens when I try to print, that it won't let me, but, oddly, it does let me syncronize. I have tried waiting for the color fills to finish calculating, but it never does, not even leaving it for over an hour, so the only solution I have found for the moment is closing Revit, reopen it and try to print quickly before the color fills start calculating again.

It is very frustrating and time consuming to do this every single time I have to print a PDF, so if someone could please help me out here I would really much appreciate it.

Thank you ver much.

2023. Same issue

"this is a known issue in revit (2016) r2...they are working on it."

Nice to know they are working on it, and have been working on it for around 10 years, and still no solution to the problem. However it seems to affect other categories now that weren't affected by it back then. Perhaps that's progress?

Are you facing issues with only Room calculations?

Hello

Am not sure If am addressing the actual issue you are facing...

but have a look at these two settings.

Check linksSee if this helps.

When it happens to me it is for Areas, not rooms. But the VT solution helped. Of course it's not a good solution because you have to turn off the color scheme... But it is the only thing I found.

Same issue still going in Revit 2023 and no idea how to find which views are using color schemes to remove them.

Honestly if I was an investor I would avoid autodesk so bad. There is little care for users or actual functionality. Revit is a great improvement from autocad but none of them have really improved in the last ten years
