@snowyweston what about the sidelight of a door? is it a door or a window? 😁

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@ikeough Not german but in hungary it is raszter and half of our aec terminology is based on the german so I strongly assume it is raster 😁

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@dourevit @Twiceroadsfool @IMAGINiT_Tech it is pathetic that one needs an extra collab pro subscription to make auto publish on a custom schedule. plunder.

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@revit_template I dig the UI. Is it completely custom or some publicly available package?

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@JacobWSmall Nah,it is "schedule width",and in the family,bound to the builtin param,no IUpdater wizardry. Also we use the same mc tag for the opening spec sheet (eastern european stuff) for both door and window and sometimes gm. So if the issue is calling our parameter "width" we are fine 😁

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@JacobWSmall C'mon man... Most of the time it isn't because "it is not mine", for example you wan't a common schedule of doors and windows that shows their dimensions, you need an MC Schedule, but you don't have the builtin parameters. If this is a janky hack then I don't know what isn't.

@johntpierson @nicocatellier you'll always have to rely on a lot of dependencies that is out of your control, even the Revit API itself. and at least pyrevit is not a black box, and you can contribute whenever you feel the need. at the end if the day it is risk management

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@JacobWSmall @redrunner92 This. I went the other way and kinda regret it.

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@_TheDanWarren ah the good old syncfusion datagridview

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@JacobWSmall and what about unloading a workset from a link? that won't have much of a difference over geometry calculations since links are already read-only in the actual context, right?

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@JacobWSmall thanks, this makes total sense. I guess the reason we haven't seen much perf. difference is that we mosty had geometry heavy elements without constraints or relation to other elements. I'll have to doublecheck how rooms bounded by walls on closed worksets behave though.

@Twiceroadsfool @JacobWSmall @TravisUsesRevit @tkunsman @Studio_Bim @revit_template @_TheDanWarren other disciplines never load it = use manage worksets, there we go, what I've just said. I have never mentioned views. I'm far from being obsessed with links, just shared my experience. If Revit would be capable I would do everything in a single model.

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@Twiceroadsfool @JacobWSmall @TravisUsesRevit @tkunsman @Studio_Bim @revit_template @_TheDanWarren for instance back in the days when structural connections started calculating when they were only linked, we put all of them in a separate workset and that workset was added to all discipline models as hidden by default and that by itself solved the calculation issue

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@Twiceroadsfool @JacobWSmall @TravisUsesRevit @tkunsman @Studio_Bim @revit_template @_TheDanWarren okay, I get that it is waaay different but what are the actual technical reasons in the background besides the geometry computation? because in my experience if the workset is loaded there wont be any performance difference on views where it is not visible.

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@Twiceroadsfool @JacobWSmall @TravisUsesRevit @tkunsman @Studio_Bim @revit_template @_TheDanWarren then why do you even need to unload it if you want to be fast if it is not too heavy? it only gonna be extra management effort without real benefit

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@Twiceroadsfool @JacobWSmall @TravisUsesRevit @tkunsman @Studio_Bim @revit_template @_TheDanWarren you have the chair workset in your arch model you can unload because it is too heavy. other disciplines have to use manage worksets if they want to unload it too. for this purpose i would definately use a separate model.

[Tamás Déri @thumDerr]

@Twiceroadsfool @JacobWSmall @TravisUsesRevit @tkunsman @Studio_Bim @revit_template @_TheDanWarren And how do you manage these worksets in the discipline models where arch is linked in? I find managing links worksets too cumbersome, manual, and difficult to manage globally.
