Here are some basic Worksets to include at the start of any project.
Create the following Worksets .
- Shared Grids and Levels
- Project tracker
- Exterior Shell
- Interior
- Central Core
- Roof
- Parkade
- Structure (if applicable)
- Stairs
These are a good starting point and more can be added as the project and project team develops.
Send
detached Central file to consultants along with these recommended Worksets.
Consultants can then
open detached and “Save As” to create their own Central File.
All Consultants
All consultants should include the following Worksets, this way all parties involved can control the linked files consistently.
- Shared Levels and Grids
Each
BIM link should have its own Workset, ie:
- BIM – Architectural
- BIM – Structural
- BIM – Electrical
- BIM – HVAC
- BIM - Plumbing
Mechanical
- Ductwork (Supply and Return)
- Equipment
- Piping
- CAD Lines (If applicable)
- Fire Protection
Electrical
- Power
- Lighting
- Cable Trays
- Data
- CAD Files (If applicable)
- Equipment
Plumbing
- Fixtures
- Piping
- Drainage
- CAD Files (If applicable)
- Equipment

What is the Project Tracker Workset for?
ReplyDeleteProject Tracker workset is so you can control the visibility of the Project Tracker, a family I use to communicate changes throughout the project team.
ReplyDeleteRather new to BIM, so this may be a newbie question. If you have a container model with linked files for all of the individual trades, then you can control the links using the Visibility/Graphics Revit Links tab, so then what added advantage is there to using the worksets? (Other than increased file open speeds when turning off unneeded worksets)
ReplyDeleteWorksets can be used in many different ways, one is to control visibility. They were designed to facilitate work sharing of team members on the one project.
