So we recently had to upgrade a model from 2015 to 2016. Everything went fine. I was able to create a local after I was done with the upgrade. The model is placed on a on site network. Everyone has the same exact path to the model location. I had a teammate create a local. No problem. I came back later in the day. Tried to create a new local. The create new local box is greyed out. I cannot figure out what is going on. I have the same issue with a model that I made on another network over a VPN as well. Any ideas?
The issue was that the default path for user files was set to the wrong person (i.e not the one logged in).
FILE > OPTIONS > FILE LOCATIONS > "Default path for user files". Check the path name is correct C:\Users\Username\Documents as an example. We have had an issue where the user name is not the person logged on and an error in this path will prevent you creating a local file.
What mattfern said. I have this problem with every single user every time an update is released - the default local path defaults to our network license administrator's user ID for every Revit seat. It's a giant PITA. I've brought it to his attention and he's looking into a way to stop it from happening. No juice so far though. Basically, your user ID on your machine doesn't have write permission to the directory that Revit is trying to use for local files.
It was a path issue. But, way above my head. We had the same path at each users location. But, it something beyond that, that the IT guys had to figure out. Finally got it worked out though.
I have checked all user "Default path for user files" all are same, but still I am not able to check box for "create new local" its still inactive, please help me out .
-Double check that people are pathing EXACTLY the same way that the central model was built to. Some people create shortcuts and that becomes an issue for us.
-Is worksharing enabled?
- If all else fails. Create a new central model. Have someone try to create a new local from that. If it is not available. I'll have to brainstorm about what the issue could be.
"all user "Default path for user files" all are same,"
If they're the same, that's your problem. The path will be something like C:\\Users\userid\My Documents
For each individual user, the "userid" portion of that path must correspond to their unique username they log on to the machine with. You could get around this by defaulting everyone to the desktop or some other location, but I wouldn't recommend that path.
