Hello fellow reviteers!

After four months of developing my mechanical systems using the local/central file approach, the topic of using worksets has been raised amongst my team of consultants.  I never knew about this!  Sounds interesting. 

Could someone tell me how I can move my elements and stuff in my local model into a workset?  I R-click on a VAV box (for instance) and scroll down, next to WORKSETS it's set to the default "shared levels and grids".  But the words are greyed out so that I can't move it to another workset.  Hope someone can help!

BTW, anyone have any links to a site that details all the whys and hows of using worksets?

Thanks in advance

Joe

A good place to start in understanding worksets is just to use your H E L P !  Creating, adding elements to worksets, best practices ... iti's all there.

I really don't understand what's so hard about the concept of using the HELP.

First you have to make the worksets you want. Click ok and save to central.

Then go back in to the worksets thing and switch the editable column to no for the worksets (it wont let you do this unless you saved to central first).

The grayed out issue you're having. I'm willing to bet one whole dollar that when you select the item, you're seeing a light blue puzzle piece pop up next to it. Click that puzzle piece to make it "editable" and then try to change the workset in the properties.

I had the same exact issue.
