5. © 2011 Autodesk Class Summary In this class we will talk about Revit Worksets and how to use this tool to improve model performance. Learn how to improve saving and accessing model time by partially loading Revit elements to your model. We will explain all aspects of this tool and how it affects workflow.

7. © 2011 Autodesk Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Improve overall model performance  Assign certain Revit MEP elements to the correct workset  Model in the correct Workset  Set Workset standards for your company

8. © 2011 Autodesk Class Intro  What are Revit Worksets? Worksets are a collection of Revit elements like ducts, pipes, ductwork/piping accessories that are assigned to a group called a Workset. It does not necessarily have to be modeled elements, it could also be external Revit or CAD files linked into your model.

9. © 2011 Autodesk Class Intro  Types of Worksets 1.User-Created - Custom Worksets created by the user. 2.Families - Workset for families in a model. Automatically assigned. 3.Project Standards - Workset for project standards like project info, model settings, family types etc. Automatically assigned. 4.Views - Workset for all views in a model. Automatically assigned.

10. © 2011 Autodesk Class Intro  Benefits of using Worksets for partially loading parts of the model: 1.Accessing model time. 2.Saving to central time. 3.Time loading elements into your model. 4.Accessing and regenerating views. 5.Loading specific Revit links without affecting central the file.

14. © 2011 Autodesk Improve Overall Model Performance User Created Worksets Unlike Worksets that are automatically assigned to a component (like Families, Project Standards and Views), these Worksets are created by the user.

15. © 2011 Autodesk Improve Overall Model Performance User Created Worksets  Modeled Elements Worksets Workset for elements in your model like ducts, pipes, pipe valves etc.

16. © 2011 Autodesk Improve Overall Model Performance User Created Worksets

17. © 2011 Autodesk Improve Overall Model Performance User Created Worksets  Revit/CAD Links Worksets Worksets for external links in your model.

18. © 2011 Autodesk Improve Overall Model Performance User Created Worksets  Shared Levels and Grids Worksets Worksets for Grids and Levels in your model.

19. © 2011 Autodesk Typical Worksets in Architecture Models User Created Worksets  Shared Levels and Grids  Shell & Core  Architectural Interiors  Millwork, Casework, Plumbing Fixtures  Furniture, Equipment  Signage

20. © 2011 Autodesk Typical Worksets in Architecture Models User Created Worksets  One workset per RVT link o If multiple instances, additional worksets  Worksets for CAD links as needed

21. © 2011 Autodesk Typical Worksets in Architecture Models Manage worksets in linked models  When linking or reloading link, specify workset

22. © 2011 Autodesk Improve Overall Model Performance  Creating Worksets After analyzing your Workset needs and project workflow you can create the central model and its Worksets. Once you have created the central model from a template and copy monitored the Levels you can now create the Worksets.

32. © 2011 Autodesk Worksharing Display Tool

33. © 2011 Autodesk Set Workset Standards for your Company Organization  Standardized Workset Names  Use documents and charts for project BIM standards

34. © 2011 Autodesk Conclusion Use Worksets to optimize the performance of your model. Establish Worksets standards for your company to improve efficiency. Set the models to Open Specify for accessing the models. Minimize the amount of Worksets in a model. Communicate with other Revit users your intent.
