Worksharing

Understanding multi-user workflow is essential to completing your
Autodesk ® Revit ® Architecture training. There's plenty of work to go around
in the design, development, and eventual documentation of a building proj-
ect for multiple team members.
If you've never used Revit Architecture before in a multi-user environment,
you may be familiar with the CAD workflow. Multi-user workflow in CAD is
a very different process. Whereas CAD projects are typically divided along
the lines of what needs to be drawn (plan, section, and elevation at various
levels of detail), Revit Architecture envelops you in the entire process. 2D,
3D, schedules, and so on are in a single database, waiting for the input and
direction of your team.
In this chapter, you'll learn to:

▶ Enable worksharing

▶ Create a Central Model and a local file

▶ Create worksets

▶ Adjust workset visibility

▶ Use worksharing display modes

▶ Understand editing requests

▶ Review worksharing best practices

Configuring Worksharing

The default configuration of your Revit Architecture project allows for one
user to open and work with the model. When the project reaches a milestone
where more than one user needs to work simultaneously, worksharing can
be enabled to accommodate multiple user collaboration. Revit identifies
