View Full Version : 2014 Error : Encountered an imporper Argument

So I have what I would call an odd error happening.
I have a revit 2014 model with lots of links. I can open the file just fine. I can load and unload all the links just fine. However I have one view that every time I try to open that view I get the error "Revit has Encountered a series error, would you like to save a recovery file". I choose no and I try to open the view again. Sometimes it opens, but most times not and I get the following error "Encountered an Improper Argument" and revit gets stuck in a loop.

I've got it down to what I think is an error with one of the links, but I can open the link just fine. I can look at the same floor plan in the linked file just fine.

I can create a new floor plan of the same area and apply a view template created from the unhappy plan, no problem.

I've got all of the updates for 2014.

I can do just about anything else I need to in the file except open that view.

Normally I would just keep the recreated view, but we getting ready to issue record drawings and I'd rather not have to recreate all the annotation and don't want to miss anything.

I looked at what google tells me when I do a quick search, but those seem to be different issues as they can't open the file.
I've got one floor plan that isn't happy.

Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried re-creating the central model, with Detached and Audit?

Yep. Including the link that seems to be the problem.
I can unload the link, open the view, and reload a duplicate link file and it's just fine.
If I reload the existing link from the new, separate test file, it crashes.
but I can load that same separate test file as a new link with no issues.

I'm just looking for how I get to a point where I can find the problem element.

Update
If I duplicate the view and reload the link. Still Crashes,
If I duplicate with Detailing and reload the link, still crashes
If I create a new view and use the existing view as a template, I can reload the link, no problem.

Anyone know how to best fix a gremlin within a view?
