Understanding Worksharing

Most projects involve more than one person working together at any given time. It's common in design for many people to work collaboratively to meet deadlines and create a set of construction documents. Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software has tools that allow for a collaborative design and documentation process while giving multiple people simultaneous access to its single-file building model. Keeping with the theme of “whole-building BIM,” Revit software allows for this workflow without breaking apart the model. A complex model can be edited by many people at once using a feature called worksharing.

In this chapter, you'll learn to:

  • Understand key worksharing concepts
  • Use worksharing in your project
  • Manage workflow with worksets
  • Understand element ownership in worksets

Understanding Worksharing Basics

UnFigure

Worksharing refers to the use of worksets to divide a model for the purpose of sharing project work among multiple people. A workset is a customizable collection of building elements that can be used to manage project responsibilities. By associating these various building elements with worksets, the design team has additional control over visibility and element ownership, and several people can collaborate and work within the same file. By default, worksharing is not enabled when you start a project because it is assumed you are in a single-user ...
