Revit 2023 - crashes - no report

[RyanCameron]

FYI - all,

When I change an existing material in the editor, everything works just fine.

When I go to create a new material from scratch, make a few adjustments and go to apply it to a wall sweep, Revit crashes. No incident report, nothing. Freezes up for 9 seconds and crashes.  Its happened three times in a row and just wanted to let you know.

Revit 2023.0.11.19

I went to material editor separately, to create a brand new material as well as while I was in the material chooser for the wall sweep. Neither way worked.

Thanks?...

Just in case someone else runs into this and has the same issue.

[RSomppi]

I don't see a solution. Do you have one?

Latest update installed?  

Sorry, I pinged the wrong individual.  

@RyanCameron: also check/resolve Warnings in Project and Audit.

Adding / duplicating materials while editing components crashes Revit more often than I want to admit.  I always try to do it via Manage > Materials Editor instead, or do a quick save if I am willing to risk it while editing components.

I am missing one update but after reading it, it doesn't sound like it'll fix the issue. I'll install it and report back.

No luck. I might have another way.

Did you see message #6?

The work around I found was to open the material editor (as I've done several times before). Create the new material and close editor. Reopen the editor, change the color and close the editor. Open the editor, make another change, close. One last time, open material editor, edit one part of the material only, close, apply. Save. Apply it to the sweep by typing in the new material's name. Apply. It worked. No crash.
