How can I change worksets of element in group?

Anonymous

I already have groups in the model and I want to edit the group for changing the worksets of the elements.

finally I want elements with different worksets in the same group without "exploding" the group.

thanks in advance.

You cannot. Every element in a group belongs to the group's workset.

I have a group on workset1 with a bunch of items made on workset1. I have to add some items but they are on workset2. When I select the items they show on workset2 and when I ungroup it they are indeed on workset2. I want them to go to workset1 in this case.

 

How can I change the items within the group so that when ungrouped they go to the proper workset?

 

The solution I came up with was to simply cut the items in question and them paste them in place onto the proper workset.

 

Thanks.

Thanks - shouldn't be that hard to fix and i see people have had this problem since 2010. But this workaround works.

I have a slightly related task.

 

I'd like to preserve a group with elements from several worksets.

 

Searching forums got me to the following thread. Which I described in detail as well as an example.

thoughts?

Worksets are for ownership.

In order to edit a group you need to be the owner or borrower of all elements in that group. Think about what would happen when you tried to edit a Group with elements in different worksets, and another user owned one of those workset.

I think you could do that as linked file? This is similar to groups, but should be able to have its own worksets...

Hello @chauh,   

I'm glad you are able to workaround the problem by making the intended workset active and then cut/paste.

This issue has been logged and this article has further information.

I have been looking into this for a little while and the functionality for different worksets in the same model group seems not to be an option that can be relied upon. I have a customer who uses worksets for visibility filtering in views. 

E.g., “switching off” the furniture (this can be done in VG) but he also wants to "switch off" the internal walls (not possible using VG).

So, I thought that filters may be the answer but it felt like it may become messy. So, I created a shared parameter and associated it at the project level to type for Doors, Internal Walls, External Walls, Cladding, Windows, Furniture Etc.

I then gave each model category a simple code - Doors =DR, Internal Walls= WI, External Walls =WE, Cladding WC, Windows=WD, Furniture= FU Etc.

I then assigned the relevant code to the Category at the type level (if the family has many types, you can add an equation to do all the types in one hit ="DR" for example.

I then created a simple set of filters that allow simple control of the view.

The result is that the filters can be used in any view and View templates can be easily created or assigned as needed.

Please let me know if this is useful for you and also if you have any comments to streamline the workflow I would relay appreciate it.

Cheers

Andy
