Class Intro
What are Revit Worksets?
Worksets are a collection of Revit elements like ducts, pipes, ductwork/piping accessories that are assigned to a group called a Workset. It does not necessarily have to be modeled elements, it could also be external Revit or CAD files linked into your model.

Class Intro
Types of Worksets
1. User-Created - Custom Worksets created by the user.2. Families - Workset for families in a model. Automatically assigned.3. Project Standards - Workset for project standards like project info, model settings,
family types etc. Automatically assigned.4. Views - Workset for all views in a model. Automatically assigned.

Class Intro
Benefits of using Worksets for partially loading parts of the model:
1. Accessing model time.2. Saving to central time.3. Time loading elements into your model.4. Accessing and regenerating views.5. Loading specific Revit links without affecting central the file.

Improve Overall Model Performance
User Created Worksets
Unlike Worksets that are automatically assigned to a component (like Families, Project Standards and Views), these Worksets are created by the user.

Improve Overall Model Performance
Creating Worksets
After analyzing your Workset needs and project workflow you can create the central model and its Worksets. Once you have created the central model from a template and copy monitored the Levels you can now create the Worksets.

Conclusion
Use Worksets to optimize the performance of your model. Establish Worksets standards for your company to improve efficiency. Set the models to Open Specify for accessing the models. Minimize the amount of Worksets in a model. Communicate with other Revit users your intent.
