Here is the scenerio:  I have my building and site modeled in seperate files, and link them to one another.  Shortly after closing the site file, I realized that I forgot to model somthing and when I attempted to re-open it I received this warning: 

"Element 612215 became corrupt at some time before this session. To continue with this project, save a recovery file.  In the recovery file, this element will be deleted to fix the problem." 

From this point I am unable to save a recovery file since I had already saved it before I closed out of the file the first time.  So as far as I have found, I am unable to access my site file anymore, yet I am still able to open the Building file with the updated linked site file.  I have tried to open a detached version of the file to no resolve... any thoughts?  This is actually my second post concerning corruptions with Revit 2008 resulting in fatal errors, and I have never had such problems with versions 8 or 9...and yes I send every error report to autodesk.

thanks

John

What exactly is happening when you do your STC?

Does it give corruption errors?

Doest it allow you to save a recovery?

when was the last time you ran an audit?

When was the last time you recreated your loca and central files?

How often do you purge?

How much downloaded content is being used in the project?

Also,

What web update of Revit are you running?

This can be found by going to Revit's help menu and then going to about. the version # is in the upper right corner.

It allows me to save a revocvery but can't use it because other peoples changes are not in the recovery file.

The first thing I would try is get the latest web update for Revit. The new update is 20080101_2345.

Here is the link:

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=9408083

I know there were a lot of corruption issues, but after the web updates I havent had any corruption  warnings.

You will have to uninstall and reinstall but it is well worth it and you can skip the content install but to do this you will want to customize the install and just uncheck the content individually other wise if you uncheck the box to skip the content, you help cab might not install and you will not have a help file.

After that is done, create a detached copy from the central, audit, purge, create a central and local.
