File Icon

[wally-james511635]

Hello all,

We have recently started using Revit 2013 at work and all file types had become unrecognised (ie, .rvt files were unrecognised, .rfa files were unrecognised). We had fixed this problem by opening up the file from within revit however none of the file types have there usual icon. All that is shown on all revit files is just a plain white piece of paper. I had tried to access the program files to assign each icon to the desired file type, but i could not find any icons. All i could find was the standard 'R' icon.

Has anyone experienced the same problem??? Is there a way around this??? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

You might need to reassign the default program the that opens these file types. Question: Does this happen on more then one workstation?

Jeff,

Just my computer at the moment. All my revit families are still unrecognisable. And im also having the same problem with my 3dsMax

Wally,

In windows explorer, do your files look like the ones in the attached image? If you select one of your files in WE, right click and select 'Open With' and choose default program. This should force all your .rfa's back to Revit...

Jeff,

All my revit files now have that same icon. Is that the correct icon for Revot 2013???

Wally,

If your icons are the same as what are in the image, I'm gonna say 'Sure'. You all good?
