family : validation by Structural ingeneer to supress structural elements

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

*I posted this in the REVIT ARCHITECTURE FORUM too but maybe it is more accurate here* 

I wish to create or modify a family of structural elements : for now beams but mayby walls in the future.

My issue is : I want that, in my model, on architecte can not suppress a beam or a wall except if the structural ingeneer accepts that supression in their model. (2 linked model : 1 architectural, 1 structural, and after other linked models of different specialities)

It came from my boss : he saw on day  that in a model an architect who wanted to supress a structural element could do it but it has to be validated inside the structural model by the ingeneers. They just had to click in a box in the properties (of the family) to accept or not the modification.

I wish I was clearer but if needed I can answer any questions.

Thank you in advance for any help !

i don't think it's in the family.

you can do this by working with worksets and central files.

the structural engineers own the str worksets and use it, if the architect try to modify it will not approve until str engineers grant the permission.

that's what i know so far.

Hi,

Grant the permission like when you send a request that an other user has to accept ?
