This chapter looks at the file-management aspect of a Revit project. As we ve said a Revit project is a single database file usually a large one. Regular file maintenance and a well-built model will keep you from having problems down the road with file performance and stability. It s worth being aware of best practices. In this chapter you ll find tips and tricks for keeping your file running quickly and smoothly. We ve included some pointers to keep you from getting into trouble and some solutions if you do. We ll discuss performance issues file corruption and getting a project started and point you to some additional resources. You ll learn how to do several things to make your work more efficient Keep your files lean and keep file performance optimized Create best practices for project workflow Repair some of the problems that can happen in Revit files Performance It should make sense that a small file on a good network runs the quickest. Depending on your hardware configuration typical file sizes can vary widely. We ve seen them from 10MB to 150MB. Much of that variation depends on the level of detail you ve put into your model if you have any imported files like other 3D files or CAD files and the overall complexity of your model. However there are a number of things you can do to be proactive about keeping your model s performance optimized. Here are a few we recommend Use the 3GB switch. Revit now supports Microsoft XP s SP2 3GB switch. Windows XP allows any given application access to only 2GB of RAM at a given time if the application needs more it get the rest from virtual memory. Microsoft s switch which is available in XP Service Pack 2 allows you to change that 2GB limit to 3GB. To .
