One way to utilize this functionality for improved performance is to create
a workset for each Revit file that you will link into your project. This gives
you the option of not opening the workset of a linked file without having to
unload the linked file.
Enhancing Communication
In previous versions of Revit MEP, users actually had to
talk
to each other
whensomeonewantedcontrolofaworksetorborrowedobject—well,really!
Seriously, though, this can and did lead to some strange work practices.
Picture this: 10 people on a project team sitting at small desks in a small
office, working on the same model…and the only mode of communication
was email!
Users
can
stay in their comfort bubbles, and Revit now provides a “heads
up” notification when an editing request has been made. In
Figure 3.25
,
user DBokmiller wants ownership of a selection of objects but cannot have
it until users Dan_Morrison and simon.whitbread relinquish control, so
DBokmiller places a request.
