FAQ – How to set a workshared Revit file back to a single user project

by Dennis Collin

Question: How do I convert a work shared Revit project back to a single user project?

Answer: This is a very straightforward task and is often required when issuing a model or when worksets are no longer required. Simply open, or create, a new local file and choose the ‘detach from central’ option.

A second dialogue will display, choose the detach and discard worksets option to make it a single user project. The detach and preserve worksets option is useful if a new central model is required.

The file will now be processed, removing all the workset visibility options and can be resaved, renamed, moved and issued as a single user project as required.
