I have run into this before but was never able to track down a cause, this time I think I have one.
Has anyone else run into this? Is there a workaround or just plain don't do it....
Revit is returning a phantom dialogue box that holds the program. I cannot cancel or accept with enter or escape. The only thing left to do is a hard kill out of task manager (you cant even right click on the windows explorer bar, just another bonk)
This is the process that I have been able to reproduce 3 times. It took that long to figure out what the exact issue was.
Problem Procedure:
-Open a project > edit a door family
-in the family project browser > change the name of two family types (not the families) > load the family back into the project
-a dialogue box appears to be missing
Anything I try to do in Revit responds with the windows bonk; as in there is a dialogue box that needs to be answered before I can do anything else. I have tried the Alt+Space > M > arrow trick to move the apparent box back onto the screen with no luck. This does not appear to do anything despite holding the arrow keys down for a while. I have also tried shoving everything back onto one screen (uncheck the extend my desktop box in the Display Properties, Settings Tab). This does not even force Revit onto the only remaining display screen. It stays out on the other screen unless I go over and pull it back
The door family is using a family type parameter to control the nested doors who's . Could this be the issue?
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
