Revit file will not open in Revit 2014

Anonymous

I am getting the same prompt/ error message when I try and open a Revit file, error reads: The file blank.rvt was saved in a later version of Revit and cannot be retrieved in this version.

 

I am running Revit 2014, and was able to open one of the files in Revit 2015 on another computer. If I am reading the error message correctly the file should not be able to be opened in 2015 either, maybe I am not reading it right.

 

I have a fellow colleague running Revit 2016 and he was able to open a file as well that I am not able to open. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

revit files aren't backwards compatible

so once that file was saved in 2015 you cannot open in previous versions of Revit
