Revit Worksharing: Users

- [Instructor] Hello. My name is Paul F. Aubin, and I'd like to welcome you to this course for users of Revit Work Share-enabled projects. Revit is a bit unique in that it stores all the information for a project, within a single project file, making working in teams, an interesting challenge. This is because typically with most computer programs, only one user can access a file at any given time. So to solve this, Revit has work sharing. Work sharing is a collection of tools that allows for multiple user access to a single project file. In this course, I will focus on the skills required to be a user in a work share-enabled project.

I won't be discussing topics like How to Create Essential File. Topics like this will be covered in the Work Sharing Management course. Rather, we will be making sure that you know the right way to access Essential File, and to create a local file each day when you come to work. And if you don't know what I mean by central and local files, don't worry we'll cover that too. So whether you're just starting out at a new job in Revit and need some familiarity with the process of working in a team, are implementing work sharing in your office for the first time, and wanna understand what the day-to-day workflow will be like, or you just wanna learn more about how to be a good Revit Project Team Member, then you've come to the right place.

Let's get started.
