I am wondering how people generally set up worksets at their office.  My office currently just has basically one workset that everyone works in.  Our production manager is considering setting up worksets for things like doors, walls, windows, etc...  I don't know that this is the best method.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

 Our office does small to medium sized projects. (5,000sf - 100,000sf  no more than 3 floors and a basement).

Thanks,

We always add at least a shell workset that only has the exterior elements of the building.  Since we also have an interiors department, we usually add a workset for their items - mostly furniture.

We also have a workset for linked REVIT files and may break that up for linked CAD files in complex buildings.  We do this so we can use reduced workset loads in very large projects.

Other than that, we try not to go overboard with worksets but it is all project dependent.

I highly recommend that you use worksets, however try not to have more than 10. To many and it gets to crazy, I like to set mine up

• Exterior Wall
• Interior Walls
• Existing (if applicaple)
• Plumbing
• Reflected Ceiling
• Roof
• Misc Equip (furniture, millwork, etc.
• imports
• structural
• floor

I also must advise that make sure you use the worksets properly and put the proper items on there workset. otherwise it deafeats the purpose.

Good luck
