Hi!
I have divided my worksets by floors. First time using worksets, please tell me why this is a bad idea later.
My problem:
I have a team of 4 using all using local files which they sync to central. They like to uncheck the 'Visible in all views' option for the floors they are not working on. Now and again when the user sync to central, a number of things happen, but the main problem is the 'Visible in all views' check or uncheck by itself, which I cannot get my head around.
I have attached an image of worksets.
A solution would be amazing but to be honest, I'm not really clear on how to explain the problem to be honest, maybe some insight into how Worksets and visible in all views checkbox relates to each other would be enough to get to the bottom of this.
Long one, thanks for your time. Any insight would be appreciated.
Best,
SY

1) Tell your users to not touch that option of "visible in all views". That option gets saved in the central file when they sink and now the workset that Joe doesn't want to see is invisible also for Jane. Bad practice.
2) Worksets by floor is not a good idea either (but this is just my opinion. I have seen this being used for projects of hotels). I prefer the simple approach of Shell, Interior, Site, Mass..., Links per CAD and RVT per discipline, Structural Elements by the Architect, and Named Ref. Planes. The reason is that sometimes we just need to deal with the exterior of the building, and it is good to close all the interior stuff at once, not just floor by floor, which might turn off part of the exterior walls by floor, also. Also, where are the slabs going to be? floor by floor? It's better to have all the structural elements in the same group, not by floor.
