    Default How to fix a corrupted file?

    I believe my file is corrupted and therefore the model is completely in wireframe now.

    I have decided to transfer the whole entire model into another pristine file. I honestly cant figure out what I should do but this. Please let me know if there is a better way.

    The first thing I did was to transfer project standards into the "virgin" file and create the phases as in the old file.

    I believe I need to recreate all the levels and views as well. If there is an easier way to make the transfers please advise.

    For instance would there be an easier way to transfer all the schedules?

    Sounds unlikely. Do you have a subscription account and have you sent the file to Autodesk?

    I don't think you need to recreate the levels. When you bind a Revit link it will ask you if you want to copy the levels. But I've played it safe and recreated them to be on the safe side.

    What have you done to fix the file? There is stuff you can do.

    Did you try on a different computer? Seems to be more like a hardware problem then a corruption if you can work in the file.

    Really dumb question here. You mention everything is in "Wireframe" now so you think it's corrupt. You didn't happen to simply change the view setting did you? From say hidden line to wireframe?

    Hi Duncan,

    I've tried purging the files but it still does not fix the problem.
    When you bind a Revit link, dont you have to explode the file afterwards. I havent thought of this one yet.

    What are the lists of stuff I can do to fix?

    I'd like to answer my own question incase anyone else runs into this annoying problem. I deleted the view. I first renamed the 3D to "corrupted" and then deleted it.
