Hi there,
I set up a project months ago from the template we use but I wasn't signed into Autodesk at the time. (M&E Consultants) Now, I need to be signed into Autodesk to use A360, however my username in Revit has changed. There is now LBZJZ after my mane. I've now returned to work on this particular project and since then my username is different. I cannot edit particular elements and views until I re-save and Relinquish as my previous username... I've tried to return my Autodesk username to the original name however it is taken, hence the letters after my name.I can't edit or delete anything until I synchronize as the original user. Has anyone ever come across this before?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Login to Revit with your Autodesk ID, then in Options log out and change your Username to your old one.
Another option which is actually easier, make sure everyone is out of the central model, detach, resave as central again.
Boom! Done! No more permission issues.
And yes, I have seen it happen...many, many.....many, many times. Back before subscription we would just change our usernames to the person that forgot to sync before leaving.
Cheers for the reply. I'll keep this in mind for future. I did figure out the issue though. A few weeks back I logged onto a colleagues computer for a student to use (which I forgot about). The student was then logged in as me, but without being logged into Autodesk, hence the reason revit was recognising two different names. To solve this I just logged my colleagues computer again. Syncronised and closed the model, then deleted the local file from my colleagues computer and logged off their computer again. Took a bit of head scratching but it's sorted now.
