Worksharing¶

Worksharing checks whether the active Revit project is workshared and, where required, allows Flow to enable worksharing as part of Project Setup.

Enabling worksharing is a separate step from configuring the standard Flow worksets. Once worksharing has been enabled, Flow reinspects the project so the required workset configuration can be assessed.

Ribbon: Flow → Project → Setup

When to Use Worksharing¶

Use the Worksharing workflow when:

• setting up a new project that will be workshared
• reviewing an existing project that is not yet workshared
• preparing a project before configuring standard Flow worksets

If the project is already workshared, Flow reports its current state and no enablement action is required.

Before You Start¶

Open or activate the Revit project you want to configure.

Select Inspect Project so Flow can determine the current worksharing state.

Enabling Worksharing¶

1. Inspect the Project¶

Open:

Flow → Project → Setup

Select Inspect Project.

Flow checks whether the active Revit project is already workshared.

2. Review the Worksharing Status¶

Review the Worksharing card in the Current Project area.

If worksharing has not been enabled, the card identifies that the project requires attention and provides the option to enable it.

3. Select Enable Worksharing¶

Select Enable Worksharing.

Flow displays a confirmation before changing the Revit project.

Review the message and confirm the operation.

4. Flow Enables Worksharing¶

Flow asks Revit to enable worksharing in the active project.

Revit creates the initial worksharing structure required by the project.

5. Flow Reinspects the Project¶

After worksharing has been enabled successfully, Flow automatically reinspects Project Setup.

The Worksharing status is updated and the Worksets workflow can then assess the project's worksets.

Expected Result¶

After successful worksharing enablement:

• the active Revit project is workshared
• Revit has created its initial worksharing structure
• Flow has automatically reinspected the project
• the Worksharing status reflects the new project state
• Worksets can be reviewed and configured

Enabling worksharing does not itself complete the standard Flow workset configuration.

Revit's Initial Worksets¶

When worksharing is first enabled, Revit creates the initial worksets required for a workshared project.

These should not be confused with the standard worksets expected by Flow.

The subsequent Worksets workflow compares the resulting project against the workset configuration expected for the project's model role.

See Worksets.

If the Project Is Already Workshared¶

If Flow finds that the project is already workshared, Enable Worksharing is not required.

Continue to the Worksets area to check whether the expected workset configuration is present.

If Enable Worksharing Is Unavailable¶

The Project Has Not Been Inspected¶

Select Inspect Project first so Flow can determine the current worksharing state.

The Project Is Already Workshared¶

No enablement action is required.

Continue to the Worksets workflow.

No Project Is Active¶

Open or activate a Revit project and inspect it again.

If Worksharing Cannot Be Enabled¶

If Revit cannot enable worksharing, Flow reports the operation as unsuccessful.

The project is not treated as successfully configured.

Review any information reported by Flow or Revit, correct the underlying issue and try again.

Continuing with Worksets¶

After worksharing has been successfully enabled, review the Worksets status.

Flow can then:

1. determine the project's model role
2. identify the expected worksets for that role
3. inspect the existing worksets
4. preview any required changes
5. configure the missing or incorrectly named standard worksets

See Worksets.
