Have Workshared Models saved on ACC template files remain workshared when a new project is created using the template

[AnnabelleSwain]

Please make it possible to have Workshared Models saved on ACC template files remain workshared when a new project is created using the template. The way ACC templates works currently is that it will just make a NON-workshared copy of the workshared files saved to the ACC template. This is completely pointless since the non-workshared copy can not even be opened in Revit. I would LOVE to use a feature like this to use on ACC projects for training that I often need to recreate for each training session.

The option to quickly make a copied file workshared would also be a nice alterative. (eg a button on the ACC web interface for "initiate worksharing") At the moment the only way to make an ACC copied model workedshared is to download a copy from ACC, open it in Revit, and initiate cloud worksharing.

100% THIS!

Templates exist to save us time and this does not save us time.

100 percent agree! What the heck.

@ToanDN Do you know anybody in Autodesk that we could tag so that we can push this up the priority list?

This would be a helpful timesaving feature for many. Autodesk please

We have been using ACC in the same way. Our new project templates are hosted on the ACC template as Cloud models. Ensuring the latest templates are being used and contributed to is extremely convenient. Just note that the Template "cloud" project cannot be accessed via the "New Revit Home" under Revit startup. You need to toggle to the old Home view to access your ACC template as a cloud project. Hopefully this is only a Bug.

Anyone know if this has been addressed?

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones, this is on the cusp of really needing to be an ACC Idea instead of a Revit Idea, but really it almost needs to be both.  Is there anyway of copying this idea over to ACC Ideas so it can be found both places?  

[kimberly_fuhrman-jones]

@Ric_Weber, we are unable to copy Ideas to other boards. i would encourage @AnnabelleSwain to make a post on the ACC Ideas, that way she gets the credit!

Posted! I didn't know ACC ideas were a thing.... I have a lot of ideas to add. "Swim Lanes" I'm coming for you!

@AnnabelleSwain, I love your enthusiasm!!!  Just make sure to do a search for existing ideas first!!
