Revit crashes when editing materials in walls?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

When I go to edit the materials in a wall, the program crashes.

I have had a reply previously but none of the suggested solution have rectified the problem.

Hi @Anonymous,

Comes to work only on the material in a wall or is it even more?
Here some possible solutions:

Try one or more of the following steps to clear the crashes:

• Install the latest update for Revit.
• Make sure you have enough memory. Check the minimum requirements.
• Make sure you have the certified or latest driver installed.
• Go to "R" (Application Button) -> Options -> Graphics -> Hardware Acceleration -> Uncheck the box and click OK.
• Disable all 3rd party add-ins.
• Put the system into a simplified startup.

• Revit crashes when accessing the material editor

Hello @Anonymous

In short, it is one of those issues where no one is really certain what exactly causes it and /or if it's caused by something specific. Hence, the multiple possibilities are listed on the following link to Autodesk KNW Network

Another Possibility/Solution:

If you have tried all of the above, your only option might be to Clean Uninstall and Reinstall Revit. And make sure to tidy up your PC, clean cash and temp folders...etc You may also want to provide (as attachment and not copy paste) the log file (can have a look into that and try dig up the cause)

PS: You have mentioned that you previously got replies to the same topic and none of which helped resolve the issue you are having...can you maybe provide the link to your previous post so we may know what you've tried already (helps avoid redundant replies)
