Revit upgrades

Revit

I’ve got a large project at work with 10000000 ish linked models.

We’re upgrading from Revit 2023 to Revit 2025…

Obviously this is taking forever…

Is there a Dynamo solution to make this faster?

Maybe where we could do all 1 billion gazillion models at once?

I’m not normally involved in this kinda thing… but they asked really nicely :smile:

From memory, (speeding up the upgrading proces)

  • save the file using compact
  • close most worksets before starting the process (the ones with the links in it first)
  • upgrade after step 1 and 2

In addition

  • resolve Errors
  • upgrade without skipping versions

Thanks. Got all that :slight_smile:
But I was wondering about batch upgrades. We’re doing one model at a time. Which is really boring. I should have bought a book into the office :smiley:

Best option is to ensure all important models are collaborated into ACC.
Use the Cloud upgrade option.
Otherwise, I believe there’s a dynamo option in this blog that helps with opening and closing models while saving.

pair the script up for a single file with BirdTools Dynamo multiplayer and leave it to run overnights on multiple workstations.

Beyond the Dynamo method which @jasonlkw linked, and the cloud upgrade method he also mentioned, you could host all the models in ACC and then use the cloud upgrade button, or you can look into etransmit as that would do the trick.

Skip as many versions as you like - errors from not doing so a exceedingly rare (like having lightening strike you twice rare) since 2017.

I only found out about the e-transmit after we’d done a chunk of the models.

good to know if I ever have to do it again :smiley:
