My company is working with SysQue add-in, and REvit 14. We mainly run mechanical piping. The creater has told me a handful of the issues we have been having is from worksharing, therefore i have been instructed to "break - apart" the central file into separate files according to dicipline. I have begun doing this. Openning our current, Workshare enabled, Central file to which everyone has been creating locals off of and synchronizing throughout thier day. Before i open the central i detatch from central, delete out the views, that do not apply to the Dicipline i am making the file exclusive to. Whoever it has become quite the task deleting the model elements that do not apply to the trade. Any chance anyone could give me any suggestions of a better way to go about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are going to have problems.  Some objects require hosts taht are in other disciplines.  When you delete the host, you often lose the hosted element as well.

 

Although I think you should have had seperate models initially, I don't understand what problems you think you are having because of worksharing.   I would bet it is a uer / process issue instead.  Can you elaborate on your problem?

I set up a central model for everyone to use. By creating template, views for the templates, and enabled worksharing for everyone to check out depending on what dicipline they area using. with Sysque the owner told us that most of our issues area regarding worksharing, such as: if one person is running the same kind of copper pipe that another user is trying to run for a different dicipline, it will not allow him because the other person is. Along with a few other issues that do not make too much sense to me like: weld gaps coming straight up and down on a 45 elbow branching off of a main. But not being the owner i accepted it was in the programming, therefore detatching from central and "save-as"-ing each individuals files and taking worksharing out of the equation, and i'm seeing if there is a way to quickly delete model entities that doesn't belong to that particular workset i am creating. cause i have to do this 5 times: plumbing, mechanical, domestic, fuel oila nd natural gas, and HVAC.

While I believe it is true that two users can't work on the same system at the same time, I think you could have handled this by using design options. 

 

However, I don't do systems so lets let Teafoe answer....

I have never had any sort of a problem with 2 people trying to run the exact same type of piping at the same time.  I am not familiar with the SysQue add-in so I would believe that it has to eb a problem with that add-in not allowing multiple users to work with the same type of piping at the same time.  Just to clarify 2 people can't work on the SAME pipe at the same time in worksharing but you should have no problem workign with the same piping type at the same time. 

 

There is a nice add-in from Dp-Stuff called Workset Explorer that allows you to see what elements are in what dicipline and easily select them all and change their dicipline that I think would be helpful for you.
