revit crashing when working with patterns

[mattV87CE]

Happy new year all!

I have a specific model that crashes every time we try to mess with changing patterns....from simple fill patterns to our interiors group trying to add a floor pattern in their finish floor plans (tied to the floor assembly). It crashes every time. I also tried to "transfer Project standards" from a current project and our template and it crashes when I try that also.

I have tried save as to a new name and auditing.....saving it to my desktop ditching all links and auditing. This is a goofy file that was started in LT, then the project grew immensely and now it is in Full Revit with multiple linked models and terrains.

thank you inadvance!

Any ideas of what to try or where to look would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @mattV87CE,

Does this issue occur only on 1 workstation or any workstation?

Did you try updating your graphics card driver?

Did you try to copy/paste the project into a new file?

What version of Revit?

Is Revit up to date?

Hello dzanta, thank you so much for the reply! This occurs with more than one station. We tried updating the graphics card drivers, and even had one laptop completely rebuilt (for other reasons) and still the same result. We are all on revit 2023, but out interiors group is on LT. Revit is up to date. I have not tried copy/pasting into a new file. I have never done this before and been able to keep all sheets and everything intact.....is there a "proper" method for doing it that will take the entire project and associated sheets/info and paste it into another project started from our blank template?

There isn't an easy or proper way to copy/paste.  I just want you to copy/paste the model elements into a new default architecture template file to see if the data is corrupt or the Revit file is corrupt.  If you do the c/p and the issue goes away, you know that your existing Revit file is corrupt.  You can audit it, but that may not fix the issue.  You can send the Revit file to Autodesk Tech Support, and they can try to fix it and send it back to you.  This usually works well.  Last resort, copy/paste the model data first, then the sheets and annotation data.
