![]() What actions will the Revit team take to prevent this kind of issue from happening again?Ī. We sincerely thank the customers that escalated the issue to us so that we are now able to take appropriate action. This means that unfortunately, despite rigorous Revit 2020.2 testing, we were not able to identify the issue before it affected customer models. Unfortunately because this issue requires a combination of model creation and modification of families in a previous version and then extensive modification to the same model in 2020.2 it does not lend itself well to typical testing practices or automated regression tests. Why didn’t the Revit team discover the issue during pre-release testing?Ī. We have been working diligently to clarify the full scope of the impact and the possible workarounds in order to write this communication.Q. We were finally successfully able to reproduce, and therefore confirm, the issue at the end of last week when we took action to limit the availability of Revit 2020.2. Since these kinds of issues can be difficult to reproduce from scratch, from the time a concern was raised we have been working closely with those customers to reproduce the issue. ![]() The Revit team was first made aware of a possible issue by our customers a few weeks ago. Revit 2020.2 has been available for months – why didn’t Autodesk communicate anything previously?Ī. A full install of Revit will be updated to include the hotfix in the next few days.Q. What is Autodesk doing to resolve the issue?Ī. To check existing projects for corruption Here are the full details on the Family Corruption issue, including “how can this happen” and “how you might try and fix it”: I had to uninstall it and revert back to 2020.2 □ Some users have experienced an issue where Revit does not launch after the application of 2020.2.1Īfter installing it, I couldn’t open Revit 2020. Screenshot below shows the actual mini hotfix file:ĭirect Download Link: Revit 2020.2.1 Download (full 378 mb package) You can no longer download the previous *bad* version of 2020.2 (such as was linked here). ![]() Initially Autodesk released a hotfix (around 4mb), but I believe that has now been replaced with a new combined 2020.2.1 installer (around 378mb) that includes 2020.2 and the hotfix in one installation. Below you will find some further detail on this, including download links. Some of you may have been tracking the Family Corruption issue with Revit 2020.2 update, the Autodesk Hotfix for that issue, and then some of the possible problems with the Hotfix. The Revit 2021 release season is nearing in the next month or two, so it is somewhat surprising that a serious issue with Revit 2020 (specifically with update 2020.2) has surfaced in the last couple of weeks… Most experienced Revit professionals are somewhat wary of brand new versions of Revit, and they might wait a year or so before actually deploying a new version of Revit.

Modern day BIM360 Revit Collaboration doesn’t allow either of those to happen easily… Pretend to be that user and sync (yes just by changing your user name in Revit Options), or.In the old pre-BIM360 days, if you really had a problem where a Revit user didn’t relinquish elements in a workshared model, you could either
