Revit opens projects in sperate windows

All,

 

It has been few days that when I want to open another project in Revit it will open in "separate windows" meaning that I can't copy-paste items..or even import families in projects...

I appreciate your help.

 

Thank you,

Amir

You need to re-associate the file extension .rvt with the right Revit.exe. Usually Done via the registry; however, if you are not familiar with that, you can try if the following works

 

(Even if they are already associated with Revit, re-associate them)

 

  1. From windows file explorer, select and right clock a .rvt file
  2. Select Open With 
    • Make sure to check Always use this APp to open .rvt
    • Select More Apps
    • Scroll down to "look for another apps on this PC"
    • Navigate to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2022    (or Replace 2022 with the latest version you are using)
    • Select the Revit.exe found in that folder

If the above doesn't work, you will need to

  1. re-associate the Shell/Open/Command with the right application -
    • Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Revit.Project\shell\open\command
  2. and set the DDEexec to [open("%1")]
    • Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Revit.Project\shell\open\ddeexec

 

If you are not familiar with editing the registry, it would be best if you ask an IT specialist to assist you with that

Thank you! The "More apps" part is the thing that fixed it for me.

You should always open projects from within Revit. This is especially important when you have more than one version installed.

You cannot copy/paste or transfer project standards from two different instances of Revit. You need to open BOTH files within ONE Revit window, then you can do the copy/paste or transfer project standards.
