Worksets and Worksharing

Revit MEP provides users with the ability to design and model complex engineering systems. More often than not, this is a team effort. It is important to understand fully how a Revit MEP file can be set up in a way that allows for multiple designers and engineers to work on these systems at the same time. Unlike traditional CAD solutions that require many files to represent the design intent, the entire mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems can be modeled in one Revit MEP file. Doing so will require careful setup of the project file in the early stages of the design.

Harnessing the power of Revit MEP to create a single model containing all the MEP systems will provide for quick and easy ...
