Problem Description

Revit - The file is already open for editing in another process

Multiple ProjectWise-integrated Revit models give the error "the file is already open for editing in another process"

Revit was crashing when it opens a bad link and then opens another Revit session. This can be resolved by killing the Revit.exe process via task manager, then going to a reference file of the master file, and re-path it.

Steps to Resolve

The steps to resolve are below:

This is actually a Revit Issue
Revit crashes when it hits a bad link and opens a second time
To fix – go to a reference file of that master file and re-path/re-attach
Note you will need to kill revit.exe via task manager
Under the Manage Links option, choose the "Reload From" option to re-path and fix the links
Save and check in
