Worksharing dialog box
This dialog box also indicates the worksets to which the components in the
model will be assigned (if any worksets exist when you click the Worksets
button). So if you have already begun to build the model and later decide
to enable worksharing, Revit will place all the model components into two
default worksets. Revit puts any levels and column grids into a workset
calledSharedLevelsandGrids.Thisisdonebecausethesetypesofelements
are typically used by all disciplines and are typically visible in all model
views. Everything else that exists in the model is placed into a workset
called Workset1. You can rename these default worksets to something more
appropriate to meet your project needs. However, it is recommended that
you do not rename Workset1 because it cannot be deleted. You should,
however, create your own worksets and move the objects to the appropriate
one. If you enable worksharing in a file that contains no model, the default
worksets will still be created; they will just be empty.
When you click OK in this dialog box, Revit creates worksets for each view,
project standard, and family that are in the project file. If a model exists,
Revit assigns each component to the default workset. Once worksharing has
been enabled, you have access to the Worksets dialog box, shown in
