Cannot Create Spreadsheet after using BIM Interoperability Tools Cobie Extension - Multiple Errors

Hi,

 

I have been getting numerous errors when trying to create a spreadsheet after assigning and adding cobie data to my project. Is something wrong with the way the project has been setup?

 

Using Revit 2020.2

with an up to date BIM Interoperability Tools addon.

Something to note also is that I have just noticed my Parameter Mappings tab on the Cobie Extension is missing the inputs. Shown below.

There should be something in your Parameter Mapping dialog box. It looks like the settings may have become corrupted. Two things to try:

 

In the SETUP dialog, hit SAVE AND CLOSE again to try and "jumpstart" the project setup.

 

If that doesn't work, start a new blank model, and setup the project in COBie like normal. Confirm that you see something in the Parameter Mapping dialog. If you do, export those settings to an XML file. Then in the "bad" model, import those exported settings, but just the Parameter Mapping settings. This might overwrite the "corrupt" settings with a good batch.
