To create a Workspace:

  1. Select the Hub to which you wish to add a Workspace in the Online Workspaces window.

  2. Press new workspace

  3. Select a name for your Workspace

  4. In Compatibility, select the software version(s) you wish to have this seen in.

  5. Confirm by clicking "Create Folder."

  6. Your new Workspace will appear as a child of the Hub.

The version compatibility will help filter the content based on your Revit/Rhino/Civil3D version.

For example, if a Workspace is set as compatible with Revit 2020 only, its content won't be displayed in other versions of Revit. This, in turn, reduces run errors and compatibility issues.

To edit the Workspace settings:

  1. Select the Workspace in the "Online Workspaces" window.

  2. Click on settings .

User settings

In the Workspace Settings, you can specify which user gets access to its content. The list of users and their level of access is displayed here:

A user who is a Hub admin automatically inherits the same access to the Hub's workspaces.

Package Settings

The Workspace settings also let you sync a set of packages to be used for definitions located inside that Workspace. This means that when a script is launched through the Orkestra Online Player Tab of the Orkestra Revit Addin, Orkestra switches the package environment automatically to match the parent Workspace's package settings. This lets you set the exact package versions that are required for your definitions, which makes deploying your content much easier and safer.

By default, the Hub settings are inherited. The list of packages is greyed out and the sync button is disabled. If you wish to set specific package settings for a Workspace, you first need to Override the Hub settings by switching on the override toggle and confirm that you want to override the settings.

Once the toggle is switched on, the modifications are enabled for the Workspace:

Synchronizing a set of packages with your Workspace, you need to :

1. Press the syncpackage button on the bottom right of the Hub settings window 2. Browse to a folder containing the packages you wish to sync with the Hub

The content of that folder is the Dynamo package folders and must look something like this:

Once the sync if finished, you can see the list of packages and their versions displayed in the Orkestra Hub Settings window.

  1. Press the syncpackagebutton

  2. Browse to to the package folder you wish to add

  3. Confirm

OR : simply drag and drop a package folder

Removing a single package to the WorkSpace settings

Software Compatibility Settings

Ever since Orkestra 1.1.0, you can specify the software compatibility of a Workspace:

Setting the software compatibility for a Workspace

This will have two consequences:

  • You'll be able to filter your content -based on this informations- while browsing

  • In all Orkestra integrations, the content will be automatically filtered based on the software version you're in. For example, if you're in Revit 2020, you'll only see the werspaces set as compatible with Revit 2020.

A Workspace can contain sub folders, but there are no specific user or package settings at their level
