File Operations (Open, Save, Synchronize) Are Blocked or Slow

In some cases, Revit cannot open, save, or synchronize with files.

Issue: Some antivirus software solutions lock files, preventing other applications from accessing them.

Solution: You or your network administrator can define the following file extensions as exceptions in your antivirus filter.

  • Revit Projects (RVT)
  • Revit Families (RFA)
  • Revit Templates (RTE)
  • Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)
  • AutoCAD drawings (DWG)
  • CAD Data Transfer (DXF)
  • MicroStation drawings (DGN)
  • ACIS models (SAT)
  • Trimble® SketchUp® drawings (SKP)
  • Images (BMP, JPG, and PNG)
  • Data (RWS and DAT)
Note: It may be necessary to contact your network administrator to add these exceptions.
