I exported a Bim model (IFC format) from Butler Advantage XP. When I open the IFC in Revit it says that it can't create blend and can't regenerate family. When I continue, by deleting the elements, the model is without the roof on the building. Is there a way to prevent this from happening before I export it from the other program, or a way to fix it once I import it into Revit?

I have this file that won't open in AutoCAD Architecture 2012, well let me rephrase that, it won't finish opening. It has 4 or 5 xref's attached. I was able to open this same file using 2010. Through process of elimination I was able to determine that a file that was exported from Revit MEP 2012 was the problem. When that file was detached the drawing would open just fine. To make things more interesting, I am able to open the Revit Export file just fine using 2012. What diabolical combination of event has happened to cause this SNAFU.

"This file is already open for editing by another user. You will be unable to save any changes before that user closes the file."
Since I am the only one working on the project there are no other users and as far as I can tell no other files open. Any insight into what has triggered this message?

I need a COMPLETE file for Navisworks...
When I go to Revit, and try to export to NWC file, it starts the export process... about 40 minutes in (YES, 40 mins, it just loads and loads and loads) I will get an error message that "Revit has stopped responding"
This is now the 3rd time today I have tried this with no success. I also tried loading into Navisworks directly (Nav 2013) but will not read the files properly and bring them in together.
I know Revit 2012 is capable of exporting linked models to a single NWC file... however my computer does't seem to like it. I even just sat and read a book and did not internet serach or running any other programs at the time....
I NEED THIS TO WORK
Exporting each individual Revit model to NWC and recompling them in Navisworks IS NOT AN OPTION.
I need to export this large linked Revit file as ONE nwc file.. I know it CAN be done...

Which elements are not able to be tagged?
I cannot open AutoCAD 2010 because there is an "Export in Progress". A window pops up that says, "The license for this product is currently being exported. You may not use a product whose license has been or is being exported. To use this product, import the license back to this computer when the export has completed."
After talking to my technical department at the office, I confirmed that no one was trying to export the license on my laptop. I'm not sure how this has happened. Did I or someone mistakenly hit export on my computer? I have never seen this before.
With this, is there a way to stop the license export process? It appears that I can resume work if the process is cancelled. Please note that I do not have admin privileges.

I attempted to load a component file and got an Unrecoverable Error and Revit shut down. Now, it appears that any attempt to load or open a file from inside Revit results in this same problem. I have read multiple posts and solutions and wiped/reinstalled the program. Nothing has worked. I'm running it on XP.

A door has been created in the existing phase, and demoed in the new phase. Where the door has been demolished an infill with the base appears, great!

How do I get the new door to cut the base that was created as a result of the infill?
