    Revit crashing when cutting section

    Hi,
    I am running 2018.2 Revit. I have been working for weeks on a architectural model with HVAC, Electrical, plumbing and structural models linked in. Yesterday (monday) it started crashing when cutting a section in the architectural. I have narrowed it down to one of the linked files. I even started a brand new project, linked in the model, cut a section and it just sits there spinning and goes to not responding. Everything worked fine last week so I recovered from backup an older model. It still crashes when cutting a section. Some of the things I have tried have been: remaking central file, using audit, recovering older file and still no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Start unloading the linked files one at a time until you figure out which one is causing the issue.

    Then open that model up.

    Check and see if it happens (by chance) to have Design Options in that file.

    If not, try opening it with audit and remake that central on your network. Then open your model and reload it and see if it's any better.

    This is also why I advocate one Linked File PER workset. Easier to troubleshoot these things that way.

      Thanks for the reply. As mentioned above, I have figured out which model it is in. In fact, it is even narrowed down to a very small portion of that particular model. I opened the model where the problem occurs, deleted everything in the area and it is still crashing when I cut a horizontal section through the area. I can cut sections elsewhere and in both directions but not the one location. Where there is no content. I am completely baffled with what is going on.

        Can you cut a section IN that model through that area?

          The same thing happens when cutting a section in the same area in the corrupt file. We ended up copying all of the content to the clipboard and pasting into a new project. Seems to have worked but still no idea what made the previous file corrupt. Now we have to go back and recreate the sheets, views, etc.
          Thanks for the suggestions.
