How to resolve Revit "Error - cannot be ignored" errors when Harvesting

Harvest will now respect Revit "Error - cannot be ignored" and cancel the Harvest process, to prevent incomplete Harvest output (an incomplete Sheet for example).

When you encounter "Error - cannot be ignored", resolve those errors in Revit, then Harvest again.

Steps to resolve Revit "Error - cannot be ignored":

There are two methods, use either one or the other, your choice:
with AVAIL or Without AVAIL (Revit only)

Without AVAIL, Revit only:

1. In Revit, in a new Revit project file, Use View>Insert Views From File

2. Insert erroring sheets and views from the container file into the new project file using View>Insert Views From File.

3. Observe the Revit errors shown.
4. Review and resolve the errors.

   • Make note of the Revit elements that you repair/resolve.

   • Use Revit Transfer Project Standards to transfer the repaired elements back into the RVT container file from which you Harvest.
     • Overwrite or otherwise delete the original error-laden elements.
     • Save the file after transferring the repaired standards.

5. Then Harvest again.

With AVAIL:

Resolve errors in Revit before Harvesting again:

Harvest errors are shown in the Harvest UI. Click "errors" to see a list of views and sheets that errored. Mouse over the listed items with errors for error information.

To resolve the errors, follow these steps:

1. index the RVT container file into an AVAIL Channel, only for debugging purposes. _{Create a new channel for this purpose. Do not make the Channel a Host in Cloud channel.}

2. Select the container file in AVAIL desktop

   1. an AVAIL dialog opens

   2. In the dialog, click Sheets or Drafting Views and find the sheet or view of interest, and

   3. attempt to LOAD it into Revit (push the green Load button in the AVAIL popup).
