Solution:
For best practice the model(s) Worksets should be organized using Firm Standards, usually theres a Shared Levels and Grids, Floors, and Revit Links (there will be multiple links, these are based on discipline and Worksets will be made accordingly.) A step by step guide on how to move objects into Worksets and create Worksets.
Why is this important?
Properly organized Worksets with the use of templates and filters will make the workflow of graphics smoother for the Drafter or Architect.
Before you work on organizing a model(s), the team must all be synced and out of the model(s). Usually the BIM Manager or BIM Coordinator are tasked to organize the model(s) to Firm Standards.
