Trying to stop the background calculations progress

[mustafa.hamoodi]

Hello Everyone,

I am working in a Structural Revit and have some foundations, Beams, Channels, Bolts and nuts. During my work I tried to save, or another command like "Save, Save As, Copy, Move, and so", but it tells me you can not because there is background calculations are in progress. I don't have any calculations as shown in the below pictures.

Can anyone help me for that? I don't to close the project and start again from the beginning.

My Best Regards,

Mustafa Al-Obaidi

The same problem as above, and the information about the solution didn't solve my problem.

Same here

i had this issue and changing the duct / pipe calc options didn't help (although i think it is very handy going forward) actually being able to save the file or continue usings a number of commands. 

What did work for me was creating a workset (my file did not have worksets) which activated an option to create a recovery file, and this removed the issue allowing the file to save. Not sure how this might assist on workshared files but thought i'd post as it may help someone!

This worked for me as well! Thank you!

I just experienced the same issue in Revit 2024. I ended up clicking undo to get back to where I had deleted a steel plate that I had just copied and modified, then I just used hide element instead of delete. Guess I won't bother using the steel tab anymore. Frustrating.

I just had this issue AGAIN in a workshared model - so the original workaround didn't work, but this workaround did, where I had to undo alot of stuff until i got a message saying 'you haven't saved in a while' - now it works again so thank you.... AGAIN

I had same thing again in 2024. Seems it happens when I make plates with anchor bolts to follow. Is anyone going to address this time consuming and tedious issue?

I faced the same issue while working with structural connections. For me following worked: delete connections, perform undo option to action before connection and redo to recent action

[roethbrad]

I found the same fix. I guess my thoughts are it should work without having to backtrack. Sometimes you can get pretty deep (meaning lots of other work) and you hope the undo will fall back that far.

Editing some steel caused the problem.  Creating a workset caused it to crash, but it let me save a recovery file, which can now be saved and printed.  (it is not a work-shared file)

It's work thank you

disgust topic  it makes  slower

For me it was from a linked structural model, so what worked was unlinking and then relinking the model.

[kristian_holstad]

Go to: Collabroate -> Workset -> Ok -> You will get a Error, press "Yes". 

After you save a recoverfile you can save it normal.

Surprised they have still not fixed this one.  If none of the suggestions here work for anyone, this thread has a few more ways people have used previously.

For me it seemed that the quickest option was to open a blank file which broke it out of the background process and meant I didnt have to undo work etc.

Thank you opening a blank file worked for me immediately. Happy I scrolled down to this answer

Very useful- Just open new blank project
