A problem arises with synchronizing and working with central models in Revit. When a project member synchronizes with the central model, suddenly becomes the owner of random elements (items that have never been touched) and worksets, causing conflict between other users working on the model at the same time. When the same project member synchronizes a second time, without doing anything between synchronizations, suddenly becomes an unexpected owner of all elements in the model. |
