File sharing is a big deal in Revit. Without it, only one person can work in a model at a time. What fun is that? This video will illustrate how to set up work sharing. You will create a central model and learn how a local model is created. Lastly you will learn how to create worksets and assign objects to those worksets.
- [Instructor] One of the main reasons we're using Revit…is because multiple users can work in the same model.…That being said, this is certainly gonna be on the exam.…What I'd like to do in this video is create a new project.…We're gonna turn on our worksharing,…and create some worksets.…Then, we're gonna see exactly how these worksets work.…Under Project, let's go New.…I'm gonna use my Mechanical Template,…and I'm gonna click OK.…Now, I'm gonna go to Insert.…Then, I'm gonna go to Link Revit.…I'm gonna grab Architectural.…Make sure it's Auto - Origin to Origin,…which is the default.…
I'm gonna click Open.…I always pin it, even though and it doesn't matter…for this video, it's just a good habit.…Let's skip a couple times.…Insert, let's link Revit.…Let's grab our structural model.…Origin to Origin.…Let's click Open.…We know, click Close.…Let's go to a 3D view.…Zoom in on where you can find some structure.…Select it.…Pin it.…Okay, let's turn on worksharing now.…
If we go to the Collaborate tab,…what we need to do is…click on the Collaborate button right here.…
