I'm new to worksets. So far I've been able to creat a central file and work/synchronize from my local file. This is a design showroom project. There is a main building and site that are designated to default worksets. I have created a new workset for the interior display I am working on. As new displays are added, I hope to create additional worksets for each of those displays. My hope is that 1) multiple users in the office can work on different displays at one time and 2) that by only working on a specific workset locally, the computer performance is increased.
However, I'm not sure if I'm really doing this correctly. For example, when I open my local copy, I am asked which worksets to make editable. I only select my display workset. The two default worksets are "non-editable" but "open" (so I can see the surrounding space). I can gray-out the non-editable worksets. However, it appears that I can still make changes and move these "non-editable" elements (main building walls, ceilings, etc). I would prefer for the non-editable elements to be fixed to avoid errors and (I would think) speed up the computer by not regenerating unnecessary modeling. If I want to make a change to these non-editable worksets, I could do that in the Central file or change that workset to "edit" in local file.
I guess I'm not clear on what I'm "checking out" or making "active" and what is "element borrowing".
Any thoughts or best practices?
Thanks
