		<description><![CDATA[This post is going to focus on two things The overuse of worksets Controlling graphics WITHOUT worksets Too often I come across users who are immediately drawn to controlling visibility and graphical issues through the use of Worksets. Large teams devise diabolical plans on how they will split up the model into numerous worksets to allow for the integration of each teams design, or maybe to split up users so no one is stepping on each others toes. I admit, when back in the day I used to use worksets to check out work for individual users there would be a number of them to choose from. Finally I came to my senses and realized that there were a lot of issues with checking out worksets, and in fact element borrowing was the most efficient and effective way to work on large teams. Here is an excerpt from Autodesk on Worksets. While the capability to check out a workset remains valuable under certain circumstances outlined below, in general the best practice is to use element borrowing rather than checking out entire worksets. The Overuse of Worksets Simple point. Large teams should be using element borrowing and not setting up numerous &#8230; <a href="http://openrevit.com/2009/11/mythbusters-part-ii-worksets/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although this has been discussed a great lengths by others, I have to explicitly call out those who are continuing to perpetuate the false idea that creating pipe types for the purpose of graphical filtering or naming is the correct thing to do. This is a myth. This issue originally stemmed from the lack of available OTB system types within Revit. Those who have done lab work know that the piping systems can go easily into the double digits. Currently the pipe connector systems available by default within Revit are as follows domestic hot water domestic cold water fire protection wet fire protection dry fire protection pre-action fire protection other hydronic return hydronic supply sanitary Other (the universal donor) At some point in time someone thought it would be a good idea to duplicate pipe types and rename the family types to correspond with the system it was &#8220;supposed&#8221; to be on (ie. chilled water supply). Notice the use of quotations. This is the first issue with this type of categorization. You will always to be able to create the filter, visibility, and naming settings you want even if the pipe is on the WRONG system. this allows you to &#8230; <a href="http://openrevit.com/2009/11/mythbusters-part-i-pipe-types/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
