Workset Structure

Workset Structure

When multiple people work on a file you will need to enable Revit Worksets. To allow for minimal management overhead, Worksets should be kept to a minimum. Increase the number of Worksets to handle performance related issues of the model.

WARNING:

Worksets are not to be used as a pseudo layers tool to turn specific elements on and off. To control visibility always use Filters within View Templates.

The company’s Workset Structure is as follows:

Architectural (renamed from Workset 1)
Civil (non-linked site/civil elements within your model)
Interiors (non-linked interior elements within your model)
Landscape (non-linked landscape elements within your model)
Services (non-linked service elements within your model)
Structural (non-linked structural elements within your model)
Shared Levels and Grids (Datums, Scope Boxes)
X_Link-Arch-Building Name (linked architectural models)
X_Link-DWG (linked CAD files, similar for each CAD file)
X_Link-Structural (linked structural models, similarly for each discipline)

INFO:

At the simplest, Worksharing will just have “Architectural” & “Shared Levels and Grids” Worksets.

NOTE:

For the non-linked Architectural discipline Worksets, these would typical contain elements that you include in your model for reference by the consultant. For example, you may initially model many of the Structural elements to inform the Structural Engineer of your intent, or simply because an up to date Structural Model does not yet exist. The same can be said for all disciplines.
