Error after closing Revit 2009

[veronica.lamb]

I've been getting this error every day for the past week, prior to that I had no problems. I haven't been able to identify any triggers or patterns. Very odd.

We have one workstation that started having this exact problem about a week ago with one project. We audited the central file from another computer, saved a new central , and made a new local on the problem machine. It didn't happen again for a while, but then it started happening with every project. We uninstalled and reinstalled Revit, and now (at least on the initial test) it seems to be fixed.

To those also having this problem - do you notice any other problems in other programs? It seems like when it happens on my machine, it is accompanied by issues of not being able to open other programs like Photoshop, or even open a small PDF file in Adobe.

I'm still concerned that there may be a memory leak or something, but I'm not sure how to find out.

I noticed that this thread stopped a few months ago. I have noticed it is still happening now and again. Did it stop for everyone else with a build?

Still happens for me in RAC 2009 WU3. I haven't seen this in RAC 2010 yet, but I haven't had a lot of testing time with it yet.

Unfortunately, I haven't worked in Revit for a couple months now since my last job had an Autocad deliverable. When I was working in Revit a couple months ago I was still having the error. I don't remember the error having any consequences to my drawings. Just an annoyance.

This is the last post I could find on this subject, so I wanted to make an update. I have not seen the memory error in 2010 upon closing, but do still have issues that seem to be memory-related. Usually late in the day, after I've been running Revit all day, opening and closing many PDF files, using Photoshop, etc, it seems that I have memory problems such that I can't even open a PDF. I've also had many problems trying to create screen shots (which I use to make vicinity maps and such).

Well, yesterday I tried booting up WITHOUT the 3 GB switch enabled, and now it seems that PDF's have no problem opening, and I have no problem creating a screen shot and pasting it into Photoshop.

So it seems the 3GB switch is causing memory problems with other programs. I did have 2010 crash on my once today suddenly, I guess because it surpassed the 2 GB barrier (although the journal file didn't indicate that it did). Luckily I had recently saved.

So now at this point I'm torn as to whether I should use the 3GB switch or not. I guess really the only thing that will solve all my problems will be 64-bit OS and 8+ GB RAM.

32 bit systems are on the way out. I doubt if you can even buy one at a typical retailer--
most new machines are 64 bit.

Revit will perform much better with more RAM, esp. when other apps are open.

4 GB really is just not enough RAM, esp. when projects become large--
100-200 MB or larger.
