Revit Connector Warnings & failure to send to server

Help
1

Hello,

We are using a dedicated Speckle server hosted in an internal data centre with the same set-up as the Speckle online server we were using with success before. Using the Revit connector to push model elements we are getting these warnings, but now have consistent issues uploading a specific file and it usually fails to send. Total children count (when it does succeed in being sent) is 24608. File size is about 540MB

When it fails, this is the log that we get and wonder if there is something here that could tell us what is going on?

Hi Tanya,

Thanks for the detailed log, to help you we’d need some more information:

  • version of the Revit connector being used (you can find it from Manager)
  • does the error occur only on your server or also on XYZ (if you can use it)?
  • are you able to pinpoint exactly which elements are causing this error and send us a copy for internal debugging?
  • could you try using our latest UI in Revit which has some additional reporting that could help us?

Hi there,

Latest UI in Revit seems to be working for this file. Will let you know if there is anything further!

Thanks
