Revit model elements move to family based workset

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2017 15:16:18 GMT

I'm stumped on this issue. I've been working in Revit for around 8 years now, I have a newish grad working under me that has 1 year of Revit experience. We keep running into issues where he will work in a model and he causes all model elements to switch to a family-based workset instead of our office standard worksets. For instance, all walls that were on a shell and core workset will now be on a family: xxx-xxx workset.

I've watched how he will start a new project and it's left me clueless as to what is causing this problem.

Steps they are taking:

- Create new project from our template file

- Save file to proper location

- Sets up worksharing by clicking on the collobrate-> worksets

- Sets standard workset up for our company

- Saves file as central file

- exits file

- Creates new local file

- Starts drafting whatever we are doing

We've also had this issue happen when he has gotten into a model that was already created and set up properly. Afterwards everything will end up on a family based workset and our standard worksets disappear.

Anyone have a clue as to what would be causing this?

Are new objects created on an active workset?

Also, if no one else and no other machine is having this problem, could be a corrupt user profile.

Having similar issues. Any known workaround, or way to move objects to a new workset?

Are you mixing Revit and Revit LT when working with the project?

Workaround: cut/paste to current view (while on the proper workset). Not certain why this happens.

Full Revit, both users.
