Tool Of The Day:

"Workset Police"

Manging worksets can quickly get out of hand without proper workflow and control.

Luckily, Revit API gives you full control. You can define rules on how elements should be sorted into worksets and it happens in seconds.

No more wasting time jumping between worksets.

Today We're Practicing:

>>>

Automating Worksets

>>>

Using Element Collectors

>>>

Working with Parameters

>>>

PLAN

🚨 Whoop Whoop, It's the sound of police🚓👮

Managing worksets manually is really boring and very prone to errors.

Even if you spend whole days fixing your worksets, someone can mess it up tomorrow during next modeling task without you noticing…

So, the Goal for Today:

Create Workset Police tool that can sort your model elements into correct worksets based on your own custom rules. Not only this can save you days, it will also avoid a lot of errors.

Notes

🔸Everyone will have unique rules.

Keep in mind that almost every office has their own workflows and standards and therefore you'll need to adjust your rules to your projects.

🔸This is a good tool to practice OOP Classes

You'll notice that our code is going to grow really big because there are so many categories and rules we can define that it can grow very fast.

Therefor, I'd recommend you to try using classes to better organize your code and keep it more maintainable. (AI can help!)

OUTLINE

Step-by-Step Plan

Break down logic of the tool idea into smaller chunks so it's easier to brainstorm, find hidden steps and code.

1

Get Worksets
By Name

2

Define
Workset Rules

3

Change Element Worksets

P.S. There are not many steps… But defining all workset rules can take quite some time and code. So buckle up.

Code Quick-n-Dirty.

The Goal is to create a proof of concept. Don't try to make it perfect. Skip steps if necessary. Keep it ugly. Keep it slow. JUST. MAKE. IT. WORK…
