Error Message with Linked Revit Models - 2008

[mccurdyks]

We have a building with a party wall making for a sensible division into two separate models. These are linked into each other. Every time we save locally or STC in one, we get an error message for the linked file. So in the attached error message "RecPlex - Central.rvt" is the linked model attached to the file I'm trying to save.

What are the causes and/or should we be concerned? I had gotten this in 9.1 when I used shared coordinates and moved one model, but I'm in 2008 and not using shared coordinates. Everything is origin to origin without publishing or acquiring shared coordinates. The only other thing we have are schedules that utilize information between linked models.

Thanks.

Note that this dialog is referring to the linked file, not the file you are currently saving. This will only appear when you have a local copy of the linked file.

Revit can manage changes in location of a linked file – that is what shared coordinates is all about. Location information is passed directly to the central file and its “Project Info” workset is modified.

This dialog says that other changes have been made to the central file, which cannot be reconciled without invalidating your local copy. And in the larger view, if a dialog has only one option - “OK” – what else are you to do?

Thanks for the reply.

I think what I'm looking for is a list or an idea of the types of "other changes" that would elicit such a warning. If I'm not changing shared coordinates, what other information is Revit trying to push back to the linked model?

And I'm also curious from a program standpoint how this is resolved. Does opening my local copy of the linked file resolve the conflict?

Seems you can't know too much about these errors, so I'm just trying to wrap my mind around this one.

Have you ever figured out what triggered this error?
