I'm running Revit 2015 and I'm having an issue with Revit pausing for a moment (spinning blue circle), at random intervals between 5-30 seconds apart, for about 2-3 seconds each time. It happens when I come back to Revit from another application, zooming, rotating, starting a command, ending a command - e.g., in all circumstances I can determine. As you know, this sounds like a minor thing but it's incredibly infuriating to high-level users, and the project is starting so it needs nipped in the bud now.
I have:
1. Purged
2. Audited all models, central and local
3. Deleted all local files (archived in other places) and restarted fresh.
4. Cleared all warnings
5. Completely removed all links
I've looked through a lot of online forums, and everything either doesn't apply, I've tried, or the thread peters out before a resolution is given.
So, here's the funny thing. In desperation, later yesterday afternoon I deleted the local file and renamed the central file via windows explorer. I just renamed adding "-0" to the end of the name. Then I opened that, everything was fine. I created a new local, good to go.
I start everything up this morning, guess what? Problem's back. In order to just continue working today, I have done the trick again and it's currently ok. However, I'm solo on this project only for a little while longer, and I'm working at a firm that is very reticent about its move to Revit. So, this definitely not a solution. Does anyone have any thoughts on why the "solution" worked, and what it may mean is the real issue, so that I can find a real fix for this?
Oh, yes, and I have opened and checked a bunch of past projects and checked their performance. Smaller projects, bigger projects, etc., all very different, all fine. It's just this model.
Thanks!
