I thought I got in a loop today:

1. Export DWG
2. Expand All
3. Select all rows
4. Try to delete the number in the Color ID box
5. This warning will come up:

You have to press Close for every selected row (could be hundreds) - quickest way is to hold down the Enter key until the warning goes away.

Here is the fix:
If you unload the material library from the template, save it, close Revit, reopen, create a project from your template and add the Material Library there: not a problem. It's all there.

Now getting back to answer number one: it stays there. The above workflow is a definitive solution to the problem. Once loaded into the project you can reload the Material Library in your template. Then and when you create a new project from that template there won't be a problem. It's like the entire problem never existed.

RevitForum Blog: Material Library weirdness

Nasty little bug picked up by Jason Kunkel.  Basically, you make View Template based on a Schedule View.  Then, when you go to delete that original Schedule View, Revit will prompt you with a "View:ViewTemplateName will be deleted" message.  Pressing OK deletes the View Template and therefore leaves any Schedule views with the Template orphaned...

I also discovered that if you Duplicate the Template you made as discussed above, and then delete the original Schedule View, it will prompt to delete BOTH the original Template and the duplicated Template!





I tested this using latest update of Revit 2013.


From Jason's blog:
When you go to delete it, Revit tells you that it is going to delete them.  And then it does.  Poof.  Gone.  Any schedule that had that View Template assigned is now set to NONE.  On top of that, any View Template that was copied from the prior ones are “linked” as well, so this could be pretty disruptive to your schedule View Templates.

Having some problems with a Railing that will not show up in a Detail View unless balusters are added to it!  Video:

I'm almost certain this is related to this previously posted bug:

Revit 2013 railings - almost 7 months old, but have you used them?

I copied some Planting / RPC from one project (in a Design Option) to another project (in the Main Model).  This is what I got:

Somehow the Planting instances appeared as a Type of an existing Profile family???

I closed the project and re-opened with Audit.  This did not fix the issue.  Create Similar is greyed out when selecting the RPC, and Create Instance is greyed out for that Type in the Project Browser (not surprising, given that it is on a subnode of Profiles).

This is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen in Revit, and I have seen quite a few...

I can copy and paste the elements with no issue.

And guess what, it even shows up as an option in the Sweep / Select profile list:


Not surprisingly, when I try to use this as the Sweep Profile, Revit 'Can't Create Sweep'.

I deleted the Type and the copy / pasted again but using Edit Design Option rather than unticking Exclude Options - I had the same result.

Apparently, Revit can put your Entourage families into one of the Types of Profile family!

Next try, copied the Type from Project Browser of source RVT:
