central file

[Anonymous]

I am working in Revit 2015.  I have a dropbox copy of a Revit file that I need to edit the font type and color and a few other things. I cannot find away to get it detached from the central file. I do not have access to the central file. Does anyone know how I can get control (ownership) of this file.

Any file which is either central or local can be detached while opening, you get the option of detached while opening the file from whitin Revit in open dialogue box.

AS STATED DID NOT OPEN FROM REVIT IT WAS A COPY IN DROPBOX. TRIED TO USE
THE COLLABORATE IT DID NOT GIVE OPTION OF ME TAKING CONTROL OF IT. WANTED
TO KNOW IF ANY OTHER WAY SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CENTRAL MODEL

So download from dropbox & open in Revit.

I DID AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT SAY I CANNOT CHANGE BECAUSE IT CANNOT
ACCESS CENTRAL FILE THINGS LIKE THE COLOR OF THE DIMENSION LINES AND OTHER
THINGS

Ok, now close the file.

Open Revit, open file from Revit and do below highlighted in Red.

With above done your file is normal you can edit whatever you want to:)
