Working with a Local File

Here are some tips when working with the Local file

·       Be selective about which worksets you decide to open. Avoid opening worksets that are not needed for the work you are doing in the project. Limiting the amount of worksets will speed up the process of opening and saving the project.

·       Close unused views on a regular basis while you are working on the project.

·       Before saving to Centralor closing the project close all your hidden views using the Close Hidden tool, Revit only loads into memory what it displays so this will save memory the next time the file is opened, this can also be used before plotting to increase the amount of available RAM.

·       Create a new Local file daily rather than rely on the Reload Latest command to update your current Localfile.

Revit Problem Solving Tip

Here is another quick Revit Problem Solving Tip.

When your working with a Central file it is recommended to create a new Local File regularly (some say every day).

By doing this you basically "refresh" your local file, by not creating a local file you can run into issues after time.

If you do start to run into issues with your Local file, sync to central then close the file and create a new local. I find this to solve the majority or quirky file issues that arise.
