individual graphic overrides) may be determining visibility.
When setting up your project worksets, it is important to consider this
functionality. Thinking about what types of systems or groups of model
components might need to be turned on or off will help you determine what
worksets to create. Doing so early will save time from having to do it later,

and will make controlling visibility easier from the start.
Although this workflow is a valid one, consider that in any office you may
have a mixture of workset-enabled projects and others that just come in the
standard file format. Some users may even be using the Revit LT version of
the platform, where worksharing cannot be enabled. While worksets can be
added to view templates, they cannot be added into your project-template
filebecauseworksetscannotexistinaprojecttemplate.Thismeansthatyou
cannot create a standard view template to carry through all your projects.
The alternative would be to use filters that can be applied in the template
file and can cover most, if not all, of your needs for view control.
Another way to control a workset's visibility is to determine whether the
workset will be opened when the project is opened. In the Open dialog box,
you can click the arrow button next to the Open button to access options
indicating which worksets to open with the file. Figure 3.22 shows the
options.
