switch back to earlier Revit

Because certain Consultants have an earlier 2020 REVIT, and some the later 2021 REVIT, our Office has had to have both REVIT 2020 & REVIT 2021 active on our computers.

90% of my work is on REVIT 2021, so, I usually have the 2021 open, ready for use..

My mistake was clicking too fast and accidentally opening a 2020 file with the 2021 version.

Once I realized my error, I closed REVIT, without a save and relinguishing all owner ship, etc.

But now, I can't open the file in 2020 because it says it had been saved to the 2021 format.

HELP !  Is there any way to change the file to the older format ?

No.  You better get a backup copy real quick.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I've had to accept it since it sounds logical.

Anyone else out there with a different answer ?

Normally it is set that the file keeps 5 (or so) of the latest backup copies. So restore one of those with the older Revit version. Google for how to do that (it isn't just opening the file)

 

No, not possible to backgrade.  

Revit version: R2024.2.1
