How do I initiate Worksharing?
A31. Revit assigns a user name to the application upon installation. By default, it takes the Windows login name. In the case of the computers at Triton, this is at150. The problem comes in trying to identify different computers taking part in the work sharing by their user name. When they are all the same, the system fails. So the simple solution is to change the user name in the Revit application. I am not sure if the ‘rollback’ software at Triton undoes this change upon reboot, but it is a simple enough setting to change prior to a work sharing session. Here is how: 1) Load Revit 2) Click on the purple ‘R’ in the upper left-hand corner to get to the File menu. 3) Click ‘Options’ at the bottom 4) In the ‘General’ tab, ‘Username’ box, replace at150 with a unique username.
