If you intend to complete the final portion of this tutorial by proceeding to the Element
Borrowing exercise, leave this file open in its current state.
In this exercise, two users worked on the same structure using worksets. Each user checked out worksets,
modified the structure and published their changes back to the central file.
In the final exercise of this tutorial, you learn how to borrow elements from worksets that other users are
actively working on.
If you intend to complete the final exercise of this tutorial, Borrowing Elements from the Worksets of Other
Users on page 423, leave this file open in its current state. This exercise also requires two users and you can
skip the first sections of the exercise and proceed directly to the section, Check out worksets.
Borrowing Elements from the Worksets of Other Users
In this exercise, two users are working on the same project with separate local files. As each of you work,
you must borrow elements that belong to worksets that the other user has checked out. You learn how to
make borrowing requests and how to grant them.
This exercise requires two users and, throughout this training, they are referred to as User 1 and User 2.
There are specific instructions for each user. Each user must have network access to the central file.
Although this exercise is designed specifically for two separate users with network access to the central file,
a single user can complete this exercise by opening up an additional session of Revit Structure and setting
the user name to User 2. At the appropriate point in this exercise, instructions are provided on how to
accomplish this.
If you have not completed the previous workset exercises, you need to set up your central and local files.
Only one user needs to open the training file and save the central file to a network location.
NOTE When you open the training file for this tutorial, you may receive a message informing you that the central
file has been relocated. Click OK to this message and subsequent messages. These messages are a result of the
central file being relocated (to your PC). In subsequent steps, you save the training file as a central file, and these
problems are rectified.
