Revit 2018 on OS-10

What is the advantage of putting the interior and exterior walls on different worksets.  I know it is an industry standard but I do not understand how it is helpful.  Could somebody filll me in.

I would only consider it if I was doing a very large project with a lot internal content like a hospital for example.

Generally for smaller projects there is no point. To be honest it's not industry standard.

The primary application for breaking up your building into Worksets is to be able separate parts of your building to give you better control. If you are working in collaboration with multiple staff working in the model at the same time, then it can often be distruptive to workflow if users have to request their fellow users to save to central and relinquish ownership. So if your external and internal walls are on separate worksets and you are only working on internal walls, then generally speaking, you will not take ownership of the external wall envelope workset.It need not be external wall / internal wall worksets, it could be worksets per floor, or worksets per wing, or worksets per site/building.

The way you decide really depends on the type of building and also how your team is structured.

Sometimes a BIM Execution Plan stipulates how the worksets should be set.Also when you first open your model, you can choose what worksets are loaded. By not loading some worksets, the load time can be faster and all working operations also speed up as your PC has less things to think about.You can also in Manage Links - turn on/off worksets within linked models to hide stuff you don't need (Especially good when your consultants have levels, reference lines and grids in their models)

I'm not sure it is generally worth the extra effort on the size projects we do.  Maybe I will have to try it once and see.

What I am really interested in about your comments is how do you choose what worksets are loaded when you first open the priject?

We always seperated the exterior shell from interior items.  The primary advatage is to reduce process time for exterior elevations and for exterior perspectives.  It is also vey useful in campus projects where you need to see the overall form but no interior.

 

Our staff had no problems with this and it did not slow down their work.
