element borrowing A Revit function for workshared projects. Element borrowing allows you to edit an
element in a workset that you do not own. If another team member is currently editing the workset, that
team member is the owner of the workset and you must place a request to borrow the element. If no one
owns the workset, permission to borrow is automatically granted.
