I can't save my revit 2011 file (128 mb) locally to my C drive. I get a message stating I don't have enough hard drive space on my C: drive. I have 182 Gb of free space on my C: drive. Whats the problem?

Check your path for the file. Maybe its not on C: where you have space.

Correction ... 2010 Revit .... The file is 158 mb in size ... The warning message, in fact, claims there is not enough space on drive C: (which has 150 gig vacant) ...

Did you try to login as Admin account on your computer? Try to save the file on other storage space if you have one (D: or Flash Memory etc.)

A couple of things: 1. Revit doesn't give a hooyey about drive letters, it uses UINC pathing to know where things are to be saved and where the central file is. 2. Revit cannot over-write any Windows permission problems, so be sure that your Win login allows you read/write privledges at the location you are specifing. 3. Other than the above two, it comes down to understanding fully how the local/central process works and creating things properly.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? Ive been saving my files in the same location since I got this computer and this is the first time Ive had that error. Some people say to just restart revit but I tried that no avail, I'm only trying to render a draft version, I deleted temperarory files etc. It says the file needs 43.3GB to render a draft version can that be true? Ive got 57 GB free.

Does the message come from within Revit or windows? something similar happened to me not long ago and said I didn't have enough memory in my harddisk and turned out it was a Malware attack......... Took me a few hours to get the issue resolved.

When Revit gives the error complaining there isn't sufficient disk space to save etc, its more often than not a RAM issue than a HDD issue. Saving uses additional RAM. Ensure your virtual disk space is adequate if you don't have a large amount of RAM. I haven't seen this issue since version 6 as since then we've been on 8GB or more of RAM. Currently running 24GB in this machine...

Rediculous solution but I realized my crop region was turned off, i turned it on and it was way bigger than the area i needed rendered even though it was empty once i tightened it up it allowed me to render again.

When you need to render create a "Camera view" not a "3D view"
