Worksets - Elements in wrong workset

[wa-minhngoc]

Hi there,

I have a group with Workset name 13_Interior but some elements belong to Workset 00_Area and rooms. Any advise?

I'm not sure what question you are asking.

Have watched the videos and created a shared parameter as described below?

I have a group with Workset name Interior. All elements in this group should be in Workset Interior, but some elements appear in other Workset. That why I want to know a way how to set another workset for some elements that different from the Workset that Group current belong to.

The workset of an element is the workset that was active when the element was created. The elements in a group can belong to a different workset than the group itself.

Hi,

It's a Bug in Revit, it has been improved in R2022 but it still can happen that a element in a group isn't on the same workset as the group itself. Which shouldn't happen as Revit states elements in groups have the same workset as the group instance.

Solution: Select group instance and change it's workset to the workset of the issue element, then change the workset of the group instance to it's correct workset, the element will now also have the correct workset.

It's not a bug. If you make a group of three elements, and each element belongs to a different workset, what is the proper workset? The workset of the group is simply the workset that is active when you convert the elements into a group.

Multiple groupinstances of the same GroupType can be placed on different Worksets, existing elements in them will also get that workset assigned, so normally the Workset of the Group instance controls the elements workset.

As you can't change the workset of elements while in GroupEdit mode I consider this a bug, if you could alter the workset of elements while in group edit model AND changing the workset of the group instance wouldn't change the workset of elements in them then it wouldn't be a bug.

Maybe you could consider it a not-fully developed feature, but there is a difference in how it works between Revit 2020 and 2022, it's improved.

What do you mean that it is "improved"? If I make a group of 3 elements, and I know that the elements are in different worksets, why do I want Revit to change the workset of the elements to match the workset of the group? All I want is a group. It could be necessary just or a quick operation. I don't want Revit to change anything in the elements contained in the group.

In Revit 2020 and earlier adding a element to a group would cause the following:

The original element added would retain it's workset, for all other groupinstance of that group the newly created elements would get the active workset as workset, and not the workset of those group instances.

That's "improved" in Revit 2022 and up, only the original element keeps it's workset all other new elements of the other groups get the workset of the groupinstance.

Also, change the workset of a groupinstance, the elements in the group with the same workset will also change their workset.
