Manually recovering a cloud model in Revit involves utilizing the Autodesk Collaboration for Revit (C4R) features and leveraging the local backup files created by the software.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Check for Local Backups
- Locate the Revit project folder: You can find this by right-clicking on the project in the Revit interface and selecting "Properties." The location of the project folder will be displayed.
- Identify the backup files: Look for files with extensions like ".rvt.bak" or ".rvt.001." These are local backup files automatically generated by Revit.
- Open the latest backup: Try opening the most recent backup file to see if it contains the desired version of your cloud model.
2. Utilize C4R Features
- Open C4R: Access the Autodesk Collaboration for Revit interface.
- Review Recent Versions: Check the "Recent Versions" section to see if any usable versions of your cloud model are available. You can download and open these versions.
- Restore from History: If you have a previous version of your cloud model that you want to restore, use the "Restore from History" feature in C4R.
3. Consider Workarounds
- Contact Autodesk Support: If you are unable to recover your cloud model using the above methods, consider reaching out to Autodesk support for further assistance.
- Consult Online Resources: Explore Autodesk forums and other online resources for potential solutions and troubleshooting tips.
Remember, manually recovering a cloud model can be challenging. If you encounter difficulties, consider seeking professional help from Autodesk support or a qualified Revit consultant.
