Creating Worksets

1. Open your local copy of the central model.
2. Click Collaborate tabWorksets panel (Worksets).
3. In the Worksets dialog, click New.
4. In the New Workset dialog, enter a name for the new workset.
5. To display the workset in all project views, select Visible in all views.

   Clear this option if you want the workset to display only in views where you specifically turn on its visibility.

   You can change the visibility of worksets later in the Visibility/Graphics dialog. See Changing the Visibility of a Workset in a View.

   Note: To improve performance, hide worksets that are not required for current work in the local model.
6. Click OK.

   The new workset displays in the list of worksets; it is editable, and your user name displays for Owner.

   If you are setting up a workshared model for your team and want to assign owners to each workset, each team member must open a local copy of the central model, select the workset in the Worksets dialog, and then select Yes in the Editable column.

7. When you finish creating worksets, click OK to close the Worksets dialog.
8. If you have added only one new workset, Revit prompts you to make the new workset active. Click Yes or No.
