Revit Structure and Revit Architecture Similarly, the architectural team works on their own collection of architectural worksets. The project model is shared dynamically between users - each user contributing their own skill set when appropriate. Team members adding elements to worksets do not work in a vacuum: they can see the latest changes from other team members and be sure the project design is progressing in a well-coordinated manner. Team members can save their work to local files on their own hard drives and publish work to the other team members whenever they choose. Other team members then reload the files to see any changes. By using worksets in a single shared file, the engineer still maintain "ownership" of whatever structural elements the architect might originally have created as well as any new structure. It's his job to define and modify the entire structural design according to his engineering judgment. The architect can still view the structural elements of the engineer's workset and use them with the "element-borrowing" capability. Element borrowing lets multiple users dynamically access (and edit, based on user permissions) shared portions of a project model, but eliminates the possibility of editing conflict. Element borrowing happens automatically unless other users have those worksets or elements editable. For example, the architect would have to request from the engineer to borrow the girders; he cannot use the structural beams until he has been granted permission by the engineer to borrow them and has reloaded the engineer's latest changes to them. Figure 12: Users are granted permission by workset owners to borrow and modify model elements. With a single shared model, Revit technology improves multi-discipline coordination while preserving responsibilities; structural elements remain the engineer's responsibility and the architectural elements remain the architect's responsibility. www.autodesk.com/revitstructure 9
