Can two people be the owners of one workset

I have two work sets - one for furniture and rooms (WS1), and one for everything else about the building (WS2)

Is it possible to have a team work on WS1 and another team work on WS2?

 

Because at the moment all I can see from tutorial videos is that it is one user that can save a local copy of a workset and own it?

 

Regards

Aidan

Taking ownership of a workset is not something that should be done if more than one person needs to work on it.

Then How can I separate the team on WS1 from being able to select elements in WS2?

That shouldn't be necessary.

The team on WS2 are unfamiliar with Revit and should only be allowed to select and move furniture and rooms

 

The team on WS1 are savy with Revit and they will look after any changes with the rest of the model, they are totally not concerned with furniture and rooms

 

How can I separate these two teams? if Worksets is not an option for me

 

They two teams will need to be able to work on the model at the same time - is this something they need to do on BIM 360 or something?

 

Thanks

Separate models. You can't "lock out" users from parts of the model.

Okay if they have to be separate models then I will have to do that.. but isnt it a shame that if walls change in the technical model then it will not be updated in the FM model?

 

How about, when using worksets, I can save the local file to a server rather than ones own laptop - and that way other users will be able to work in that then?

 

Is that possible?

Forget about using worksets for this.

 

You should do separate models that are linked to each other.

But you cant open and keep saving both models at the same time in that case? They wont be able to use their models at the same time...

That is wrong.

This is what happens when you open up the two at the one time...

It completely ****s up my model.. rooms go all over the place ect..

So how is this going to work on a regular basis?

You're trying to do it wrong. I don't have time to write out a tutorial but you need something to teach how to do it right.

to be able to open related files, you only need to open a different Revit session for each file. but don't forget to sync on one and reload on the other to see the update.

 

on the main topic: Revit does not allow more than one owner on a workset or element. if your team is able to clearly divide its manipulation area, it is not necessary to own the entire workset. However, inside a workset, many elements can be modified by teammates as long as they are not hosted on another borrowed element previously modified by another colleague.

 

also tried using options? maybe that could help.

Aside from what have been suggested, you could create a Design Option set with only one Design Option for the WS2 team, with dedicated design option views for them to work on.  That way, they can see the rest of the model halftoned, but cannot select or modify any.

Options would be my preferred choice, but does that still mean two users cant open the file and use it at the same time?

Two users can open and use the file simultaneously.

They shouldn't be. That is not what design options are for and you will be making the process unnecessarily complicated for everyone.

 

Working with linked files is THE way to go. Your experienced users should be able to help you with this. If not, you all need some training as this is a very common workflow. I've used it for the vast majority of projects that I've worked on since I started using Revit in 2009.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

And this is true that the room boundaries will not start breaking each time the two models are open?

Because this is what happens me

It sounds like you are opening the link while in the project that it's linked to. Just like your initial mistake. 

 

This is a valid workflow. I would suggest that you stop looking for reasons not to use it.

I agree - linking the models should be the way to do it.

But, supposedly I cant copy rooms with copy monitor.. it only allows me to use

And it is important that the rooms are linked and can be changed in both models.. Level, Grids (but not multi-segment grids), Columns (but not slanted columns, Wall, Floor, Opening and MEP fixtures...

So I am not looking for excuses I am just looking to see what do I lose if I link the models
