Wierd Stuff No. 1-See attached image.  After exporting the reflected ceiling plan to .dwg for the engineers, I opened my floor plan and found the reflected ceiling plan in wierd colors (ceiling grid blue, section marks green, etc.) inserted in my floor plan.  I clicked on the blue grid and selected that "insertion" and deleted it.  Floor plan now normal.  What gives with that?

Wierd Stuff No. 2-In my elevation sheet view, I activated one elevation to adjust some section marks.  After I deactivated it, I could no longer selected that elevation on the sheet view.  No box highlighted when the cursor touched it, nada.  I deleted the elevations sheet, created it again, inserted all the elevations and everything is normal.

After bragging on how stable 2009 had been, when I switched this project to 2010 and had repeated crashes, I am now wondering if there are gremlins in this project.  I did copy a previous project that was very similar and have adopted it for this one.  But I have been working on it for several weeks with no problems until now.

Anyone run into this before?

Shameless bump. 

 

I am really curious why my reflected ceiling plan would insert itself into the floor plan view after I exported it to dwg for the engineers.  I had done this several times previously during the project with normal results.  I am even more curious why the inserted reflected ceiling plan would have lights in orange, grid in blue, section marks in green, grilles in red, etc.  I have never seen Revit produce a "colored" image of families, lines, etc. that are all black lines and each element was a different color.  I really hope someone can tell me something simple that can be avoided in the future.  ANY help will be greatly appreciated.

#1 What you deleted sounds like a CAD import.

#2 - I have seen sheets become corrupted.  That may have happened and your solution is what I would have done.

#3 - Read other posts heren and AUGI about 2010 stability.  Make sure you have the correct hardware and drivers.

I tried 2010 on this project about a month ago and went back to 2009 losing two days of work in 2010.  Too many crashes.  This is all happening in 2009 which has been very stable until now.

Also, why would a CAD export boomerang back as an un-asked for multi-colored version of an insert into the floor plan?  The fascinating part to me is how, during the boomerang, a black and white reflected ceiling plan became multi-colored.

OK... If I have to be Holmes..... listen Watson ... It probably was a reloaded already linked file.... I bet you exported your ceiling plan to the same name ... right?  That explains the colors - I bet those are the colors in your export - right?

Oh contraire...............................the export is what it is in Revit which, at least for me, is always a black on white image.  When you import CAD files, you have the option to keep, invert, or black and white those stupid Autocad multi-colored lines but I didn't import nuthin.  Maybe Revit did without permission, or at least the gremlins that jack around in my computer might have.
