Chapter 6

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. Revit 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 an integrated single-file building model, Revit 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, we'll focus on enabling the worksharing feature of Revit.

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
