Steve, Thank you so much for your reference list, dan richardson

Steve, have you encountered during construction stage, there's tonnes of request for changes, hence the designer needs to do some modification works to the construction model.

How do you track the changes using worksets? If there are omissions, how do you track that it's deleted? Can the worksets used as a means of tracker? Will it confuse the whole lot?

Interested to know your thoughts on this.

Steve said...

No, worksets are not going to help with tracking changes at all, if anything trying to use them for that will just introduce one more reason something isn't visible.

Changes usually happen external to the model, someone makes a decision. That's what needs to be kept track of decision making. If an element is affected by a decision we could store a comment in the properties of the element. Deleted elements aren't there anymore so storing information in them is undone as soon as it is deleted.

If you're in construction then the process you use to track job development changes is at the top of the hierarchy. Models are just a piece of the much larger puzzle.
