no model display

[sbenedetto]

Running Revit 2010 update 2 and the model will no longer display. Any of the 2d work such as notes and pointers will still display though. The central file size for the project is about 470MB, and the part I am working on is about 275MB. Running Windows 7 Pro 64bit with 6GB of RAM, nvidia FX1700 (latest AutoCAD approved driver). AutoCAD 2010 is also installed on the computer. Other users working on the project are not having this issue. Revit is not crashing, just not displaying the model. I have attached a screen shot. Any thoughts on what may be causing this and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Steve

With those very large file sizes, even with Win 7 64 and 6GB of RAM, I suspect
a lack of memory is the issue.

Open each of the Central files, and check Audit when opening.
Once open, Purge all Central files, including all Linked files.
Get rid of any unrequired cad files.

See if there are any unusually large Families loaded into the projects, and if so,
Purge them as well and then reload.

Then close them, re-open from the server location and Create new Local copies.

I would strongly suggest adding some more RAM to your machine--12GB would be good.

Thanks for the response, we will give that a try this morning to see if that helps, and post back the results. Will order more RAM as well!

Thank you,
