Sheets: Folders and Subfolders

[aleduce]

We need to (be able to) separate Sheets into Folders. The Collections are a step in the right direction, but Folders and Subfolders would allow users to better organize and manage Sheets. This would more easily facilitate the much needed Permissions for Sheets.

I kind of agree, but I would prefer to see this surface in the form of a 'Smart Folder', that creates a virtual folder that is populated with files based upon search criteria such as Disciplines and Tags. These smart folders would then have permissions.

I don't feel Collections are a very good solution.

I agree with @Chad-Smith

we use in our company our own browser structure

to see the same structure in ACC as well as in Revit

I also not happy with collections 😞

With version sets and collections, plus the ability to filter by tags/disciplines, what is your use case? I'm curious as to how you're wanting to use sheets that is not solved by that.

Would like to see an option to collapse the sheets by discipline like you can do in Specifications.  Filters and saved filters are not the answer, they are more cumbersome.

@andrell.laniewicz We need Permissions for Sheets, the same as we have for Folders. At this time everyone in the project can see all Sheets. This is not acceptable when there are different parties in the project, Vendors, Owners, who should not see everything. If Collections had Permissions to restrict viewership that would possibly resolve the problem. I may be mistaken but I don't think you can assign Permissions to Sheets, please correct me if I'm wrong. The workaround is to use Files for "Sheets" because you can control Permissions.
