RAC2010SAP- Proj Browser and Edit Family

[twiceroadsfool]

Working in our Project Template in Revit 2010 with the SAP installed. I have a family that is not constrained properly (attached). I hit Edit Family (so i can go in to fix the family), and i get the "Remove Constraints" warning. No big deal... Im expecting that.

Except, that dialogue popping up seems to prevent the PROJECT BROWSER from switching to the Family. See the attached CAPTURE. I am in the family, and the browser remains in the project. Also note that once this happens, any subsequent family that i open does the same thing, even without the Remove Constraints pop up. The only fix seems to be to get out of Revit alltogether.

If i open families with no dialogue pop up, its fine. I cannot ascertain if its a hardware issue or an issue with Revit, since this machine is the only one with the SAP installed currently.

Also, once today when tabbing between nested families, the entire ribbon went blank and would not come back. In THAT instance, the BROWSER was the only thing i could click in... Clicking anywhere else in Revit simply returned the "error beep." I lost all of my work from that session, since you cannot save from the browser.

Can anyone else confirm or non-confirm said behavior (mainly the first issue. I doublt anyone has had the second...)?

I can work around it, but its annoying.

Also, i have confirmed that monitor placement does not affect this behavior. I have tried it on the native monitor, docked inside revit, on two monitors as in the screen shot, etc.

Aaron.

Just downloaded the family, and did a few test with it, but everything seems to be working just fine. (Ribon changes to Family Ribbon, just like it should)

Using vista 64, and Revit2010SAP 64, and a single screen (Laptop)

I´ve had similar problems with the ribbon going blank, but have always been able to bring it back by "clicking aound"...

Sounds like an support request to me... Hope you get it to behave. :beer:

Interesting. Im on XP32 here, but i cant verify normal behavior in Vista64 since we havent deployed the SAP yet...

Hi Aaron,

Worked fine for me - tried in a few different project of varying sizes - but everything was as it should be.

i had a similar problem (no subscription-advantage-pack), not only when changing into a family, but also when switching between open projects. this only happend after i accidently had deactivated the projectbrowser via keyboardshortcut and reactivated it through the ribbon. after restarting revit the problem was gone (until i again deactivate the projectbrowser).
don't know if thats helpful in anyway... just sounded familiar :)
