Revit 2019 mistakenly borrowing worksets & views

[alex.diebalek]

Hi community!

Since our Revitupdate from 2017 to 2019 following issue is occurring:

On occasion, Revit 2019 is mistakenly declaring Project members as borrowers to certain worksets and views without being touched by the respective user at all.Project work is drastically slowed down as certain elements are (unintentionally) claimed and therefore unavailable for other users.

Is this problem mainly due to the synchronization procedure?

Revit seems to forget to relinquish elements, but even by relinquishing manually the above mentioned issue remains.

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Alex

1. hope theres no one working on the CENTRAL FILE Directly..

Considering the file was updated to 2019.. make sure everyone creates

there own local file...

just a check.. there's high possibility or some other issue..

2. and while working no one making the entire WORKSET Editable... elements should be made

editable.. else other users cannot make any changes...

Best luck

I've seen this happen across multiple versions mostly on cloud projects but not for entire worksets.

Is taking ownership of worksets part of your regular workflow?

Hello!

I did it already, currently Revit 2019.1 running, didn't solve it unfortunately.

Hi @alex.diebalek

Can you share the file to test?

I can send you a private upload folder.

Hi ganesh,

nobody is directly working on the central file, as the entire project composition is based on c4r (B360 Design) and everyone is creating local files automatically.

Even though anybody has ever opened the respective Revitfile, Revit mentions that certain worksets and views have been borrowed by them.

Hi guys, 

a solution has been found:

The problem was that some checkmarks within the Structural Settings (Analytical Model Settings) had to be turned off, as they were causing those issues regarding relinquishing both worksets and particular views (File attached).

After unchecking those checkmarks is was then possible to synchronize properly (including relinquishing).
