Publishing Bim x fails

Rikus Engelbrecht — Tue, 09 May 2023 12:51:11 GMT

Hi I am having issues publishing a Bim-x model. It fails every-time. I see similar issues have been experienced by others, but I see no solution to the problem. Can anyone help?

There should be a yellow (or red?) warning triangle in the publisher window when it fails.

You can double click it to get information I think.

One thing I would check is that you are not using unusual characters in the file name you are publishing (?~/| etc.).

Keep the name a simple as possible.

Hi Barry,

Thanks I checked that message and this is what I get.

As you can see the file name is also quite simple.

What do you have in your publisher set.

This will also show me the name you have used.

i.e.

If you create a new publisher set with maybe just a wall or two, will that publish?

Is the path to save the BIMx file correct (i.e. it does exist and you have permission to save there)?

Hi Barry,

Please see attached screenshot.

Tried exporting to desktop.

Ok, so I tried publishing a single wall, that worked. This means there is probably an element in the 3D that is causing this issue?

I have however down-saved the file to a 25 and published on another workstation without any issues.

Settings all look OK.

I would suspect something in the model.

Maybe try turning all layers off and just turn a few on at a time to try and isolate where the problem may be.
