Worksharing With ElectroBIM

When using ElectroBIM on projects that have worksharing enabled, certain commands operate differently to accommodate those workflows.

Edit Commands

In the Panel Edit, Instance Edit, and Circuit Edit commands, if the selected device or circuit is currently checked out by another user, editing will be disabled. You will not be able to modify that device or circuit until it has been relinquished.

Calculating

In the Calculate Whole Project and Calculate Part of Project commands, there will be an option to run the Revit Synchronize Now and Relinquish All Mine commands once the calculation completes. This can be helpful if you plan to run the calculation unattended.

If parts of the electrical system are checked out by another user, the Calculate Whole Project command will fail. You will need to wait until those parts have been relinquished, or use the Calculate Part of Project command to only calculate the parts you can currently access.
