- Worksets are some of the most important features of working in Workshare Enabled files (CENTRAL) files. This Revit Tip will guide you thru creating worksets, guide you in best practice using them, and how to delete them without losing your families.

Thanks for the video. It is very useful. I just found out thatvwe can change worsket colors:
-click on worksets down and then click Worksharing Display Settings
you mentioned colors of the workset. this is how to make them your own : 1. On the View Control Bar, click Worksharing Display Settings. 2. Click the Worksets tab. 3. Select Show Color for the desired worksets. 4. For each workset, click Color. In the Color dialog, select the color to use and click OK. 5. Click Apply. The specified color for the corresponding workset displays in the model. should work. 🖐
No one shows up a tutorial so simple! Thanks so much Mike! You never say your name on your videos =)!!
Perhaps I will mention my name more on the videos. I had never noticed that I didn't do that. Thanks Alicia!
You're awesome Mike! 🙏
A big thanks to you Mike 😊
I keep watching your videos on every topic you shared and found it all well elaborated to understand all the functions and ideas how we can apply them purposely to improve our workflow working the projects in Revit. And, I like your way of teaching... it keeps me awake not to fall my head down to sleep when I first watch your video 😊 The best, and I learned a lot from your videos......... Thanks!
Thank you so much! I now understand how to work in Worksets without being so scared of it!
I love your contents. Thanks 🥰
"I've been consistently watching your videos covering various topics, and I must say, each one is meticulously explained, making it easier to grasp the functions and practical applications in enhancing our project workflow within Revit. Your teaching style is engaging and manages to keep me attentive - a feat considering how some videos tend to make me doze off! I've learned a great deal from your content, and for that, I extend my heartfelt thanks.
You are amazing man. The way you explain is wonderful. There is fun too which makes us never bore. Thank you sir
YOU CAN NOT IMAH=GING HOW I FEEL AFTER THIS LESSON THANKS ALOT FOR YOUR EFFORT
Very nicely explained, Thank you sir
everyone here appreciate you effort thank you man!!
THANKS so much mike i learn from you.
Literally right on point! Appreciate your content Mike!
Thank you sir! What an enlightening tutorial with a great sense of humor!
Wonderful tutorial. Whole new world for me these little dudes worksets... Thank you very much!!
This is where you can change the color of the WORKSET- "work sharing display setting" its a the bottom with the worksharing button your talking about at 16;05 or less s few min/ secconds
Thanks for this video, its clear and concise and describes points quickly without ground around the houses! This has really helped me with understanding worksets and how to control what is showing in views, which has been a frustration of mine for sometime, coming from working with a Tekla background to REVIT.
Great tips ...have a nice day Mike !
Thankyou so much for your time and dedication! This has been so so helpful!
Your tutorial is fantastic. Sir, You are just the best. Thank you
Very informative video. Right on point and no fancy music or terms. You just earned a new subscriber.
mike love ya, I've learned so much from this video and cannot thank you enough keep up the good work :)
Love the energy thank you
THNX Mike. clear and very useful video. learned some new things, and you ENTHOUSIASTIC as always 😉now i'll will take a look at your video central file. just as a refresh for me. and who knows...I might lear something new. you never know! 😄
amazing. thank you mike!!!
Thank you so much. Very useful one
Great tutorial...thank you
Amazing feautures thank you
This is all i needed
Thank You very much.
You can set the colorization for Worksets in the Worksharing display settings just so you know. But this video was very well done thank you
I never tried changing the color!!! I didn't see a button so I assumed you couldn't do it! Silly me! Thanks a ton!
Thank you.
The man!!
👌👍
Super boss
Hello, This is a great tutorial. Simple and yes easy to understand. Love it. Can you do a video about Revisions. I tend to do revisions and change the original drawings. Is it possible to make revisions under different phase maybe so i can go back to original in case i need it. Thank you!!
Great idea (video about Revisions). I will do it. Also, revisions are a linear timestamp for changes... so I don't think you can CHANGE things to revert back to when a revision was done. It's kind of like a one-way-trip when using Revit.. but we put revision markers on the drawings so the contractor knows what changed from the last drawing he saw.
Best tutorial ever!!!
your teaching style is amazing keep it up.
One question though, in a revit exam they asked me to add all exterior doors category and all exterior windows category to a specific workset. I had to pick each exterior door and window manually to place them in that workset. Do you have an effective way to do that and save time?
Thanks a lot!
Hmmmmm. Let’s go with doors as an example. Name the exterior doors something unique (add Exterior to Type name). I would isolate doors category in a 3D view. So only doors are on. Then I would create a filter that made all doors go OFF that didn’t have ‘exterior’ in the Type name. Then grab all those and assign to a Workset.
I’ll make a video! ;)
@@miketaylor8211 that would be great!!!.. thanks I appreciate it.😍🙌
Hey Mike, when selecting the link from the project browser, why specifically 'select all in entire project'? I would think that there is only one instance of the link in the project.
hi, glad to learna lotof detail from your video,
So, im having issues about worksharing on Revit (mine is v2020,2021), few days ago ive made a central file (with v2020) on a local network (LAN) within central file was at my local drive setup as shared folder and mapped it as \\PC\Central\file.rvt, and everything was fine, everyone work as local file, synch etc..
but unfortunately, yesterday i tried the same way to create a cental file using v2021, again i made cental within my local drive folder and mapped it as shared (read/write to everyone) but others just cant open it as a local file, the "create new local file" check box was greyed ouy, revit said it was moved or copied to another loc...
what does it mean??
i really appreciate if u could help this out, many thanks
I know this video isn't technically about positioning your links as you bring them into revit, but ive been having difficulty deciding which Positioning option to choose to get my links to align as well as yours did. I've heard varying opinions on which positioning to use, but wanted to know your thoughts? I saw you used Origin to Origin and the links lined up exactly the way they were supposed to, but i've had issues duplicating this. Is it a Survey point issue? is it the way you lined up your initial "workset 1". Would love any insight here as a new Revit-er that has been tasked to find the most efficient way to line up newly linked Revit links into a project.
Great tutorial, very well done and appreciated. Quick work flow related question however. Now that we have a collaborative work sheet which multiple people can work on (locally if I've understood correctly) would there really not be much point to introducing linked work sets? Seems like this would just introduce computational load unnecessarily when work can be directly done on the local collab file vs linking everything. Unless you are working with a really specific part/model that you don't want to deal with turning off layers, etc. Any insight or experience would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Christian
P.S. Think blue arrow down is for "DOWN"loaded 😉
If I understand the question correctly: the reason for a Workset specifically created for linked files to be placed in.. give you the ability to turn it OFF and thus unload the linked files ‘weight’ and helps with file performance.
Hi, the function of Workset looks like the AutoCAD layer. It is a very handy and powerful function, but personally, I just do not like working in a central file. Any ideal for the 'layer' function but not central?
If you don’t have a central file you do have the use of groups. It’s more cumbersome, but you can put things in groups to turn them on/off. I would go with a central file before I did the groups thing.
Can we say that the Workset are like Layers in Software like Autocad or Rhinoceros?
Kinda. Yes... worksets work like layers. But I like how you can UNLOAD them and then Revit doesn't even calculate the geometry of their contents!
why not just temporary unload the link, then reload when you need it
Because we are here to understand and increase our knowledge of Revit.
hi...how r u SIR
