Commercial Project Workset question

[sradley]

Currently, I have been using the following setup for my Worksets:

Casework
Equipment
Furniture
Exterior - Walls, Doors, Windows
Interior - Walls, Doors, Windows
Rooms
Shafts
Shared Levels & Grids
Stairs & Rails
Structural


If I have multiple phases, I usually place a Phase prefix before the aforementioned Worksets.

I was wondering if there was a National Standard for Worksets established or under development.

Thank you,
Scott

No current national standard.

I'd redo some of your stuff to be more explict.

Exterior - Shell is probaly a more common definition by Revit users for all this stuff.
Interior - We define two interiors. An Architectural Interior and just Interiors (for finishes and FF&E.) This eliminates the need for separate casework equipment and furniture worksets. These three are easlier to manage by category than workset.

Rooms just go in the Architectural Interior workset for us.

Then we just lump all stairs eleavtors and shafts in one Vertical Shell workset. Keeps thing simpler.

What are you using the worksets for? Are you using them for selective loading or for sharing?

If so, then you may want more. If not, you may not even need that many.

You don't NEED to create Worksets in Revit for smaller jobs, especially if you plan to use element borrowing for file sharing needs.
