Revit Crashing when switching to 3D view with large topography linked site file

Anonymous · ‎06-13-2018

We have had a few users in different locations and different organisations experiencing crashing when switching to a 3D view. There is no option to create a recovery file and just closes Revit down.

The 3D view has a site file loaded in, and it appears that this might have something to do with the topography which was created from a dwg file.

Has anyone else experienced the above, and if so, what was the solution.

Hello, if it is confirmed the link cad file is the cause of the problem, then you need to purge, audit and use overkill your cad file, check if there are 3d blocks (if you don't need) just use flatten command to make them all 2D. Clean as much as possible before you link again. Hope it helps. Thanks

Remember : without the difficult times in your LIFE, you wouldn't be who you are today. Be grateful for the good and the bad. ANGER doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything...

Hi Ennujozlagam,

The cad link was used to create the topography and is no longer linked now the topography has been created.

Regards,

Matt

-Any large raster images inserted ( like .tiff files?)

-Does the toposurface have a large number of subregions, and in particular--if so, do they have a large number of sketch lines in them ( like over 100 lines) ?

I was experiencing the same issue with a large topography in a project (more than 100 acres).

I was able to sub-region most of to topography out of my view and hide the sub-region of the portion that wasn't needed for the specific view. It resolved it from crashing.
