Default Worksets

When you enable worksharing, Revit creates default worksets and assigns project elements and settings to these worksets. The default worksets are:

• User-created. Revit creates 2 default user-created worksets.
  • Shared Levels and Grids. Contains all existing levels, grids, and reference planes. You can rename this workset.
  • Workset1. Contains all existing model elements in the project. When you create worksets, you can reassign elements from Workset1 into the appropriate workset. You can rename this workset, but you cannot delete it.
• Families. Each family that is loaded in the project is assigned to a separate workset. You cannot rename or delete family worksets.
• Views. Contains all project view worksets. For example, Floor Plan Level 1 view is assigned to a workset called View: “Floor Plan Level 1". View worksets contain view properties and any view-specific elements, such as annotations, dimensions, or text notes. When you add view-specific elements to a view, they are automatically added to the appropriate view workset.

  You cannot make a view workset the active workset, but you can change its editable status so that you can modify a view-specific element (for example, a section in a plan view). If the associated workset for the section view is not editable by you, change the editable status of the workset so that you can edit it. See Making Worksets Editable.

  You cannot reassign view-specific elements from a view workset to another workset. View worksets cannot be renamed or deleted.

• Project Standards. Contains all project-wide settings defined for the project (for example, line styles and fill patterns). You cannot rename or delete project standard worksets.

  For a complete list of project standard worksets:

  1. In a workshared file, click Collaborate tabWorksets panel (Worksets).
  2. In the Worksets dialog, select only Project Standards in the Show field.
     

     All project standards worksets display in the Name column.
