The white paper entitled “ Multi-user Collaboration with Autodesk Revit Worksharing” specifically addresses the topic of Revit Worksharing. The following articles are of particular interest: (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to access the files.) Various Revit white papers can be downloaded from the Autodesk Website. Prior to using Revit with the WAFS System, it is highly recommended that Revit users and WAFS system administrators familiarize themselves with the concepts of multi-user collaboration within Revit using Revit Worksharing.
Thus, when using Revit with the WAFS system, users will not only see an improvement in data transmission during Save to Central and Reload Latest operations, but also for general editing activity during which Revit must access the permissions files. These additional files are found in the _backup directory created along with the Central file and include files such as the eperms.dat and wperms.dat files that are used to manage entity and workset borrowing coordination.įiltering out the backup directory will result in critical files not being replicated and can cause instability within the Revit product itself. This includes optimized transfer of not only Central files during Save to Central operations, but also the other files used by Revit when performing Worksharing operations. When using Revit with the WAFS system, the Central file and its ancillary files are stored within WAFS Jobs and efficiently replicated to applicable sites. When operating in Worksharing mode, users work on a local copy of the Revit model and can save changes to the Central file so that other users can see their work. The Central file is used to store the current ownership information for all entities and worksets in the project, and acts as the distribution point for all changes published to the file.
When Worksharing is enabled in a Revit model, work is coordinated through a master copy of the model file known as the Central file. The Revit product suite by Autodesk supports simultaneous access and modification to models via a functionality known as Worksharing.
