In Revit, these groupings of the project are called worksets. A
workset is a collection of building elements such as walls, floors,
foundation, etc. When setting up worksets considerations to take into
account include: the team size, the project size, the team member
roles, etc. Establishing practical policies on how all team members
across and create new worksets in the project will maintain
performance for existing users and ease the process of introducing new
team members to the project.
Structural worksets are typically defined based on:
- Floorplans division at expansion joints
- Groups of structural elements like foundations and columns
- Material expertise – concrete, steel, masonry
- Details and drawings
- Structural, MEP and Architectural disciplines
Worksets are optimized to support teams working on a single building.
For projects involving multiple structures arranged in a campus like
manner, user can choose to link a set of distinct Revit Structure RVT
files. Each individual building structure will then be organized with
its own worksets, but are unable to change them – preventing possible
conflicts in the project.
In the Revit Structure project, users have the option of checking out
entire worksets or individual elements in a workset. All other team
members can view these elements or worksets, but are unable to change
them –preventing possible conflicts in a project.
