The efficient life-cycle management of the built environment will not happen until change management is accelerated. Efficient construction delivery methods (IPD – integrated project delivery, JOC – job order contracting), cloud computing, and BIM are all integral components. Thursday: Information Exchanges.

There should never be any identical usernames working on a workset project. When nobody else is working on the project you can open a central file and pretend to be the ill mannered users that havent relinquished elements properly. It is an awesome way to resolve little matters when people are all out of the model. at 8:00 AM.

There isnt an easy button to just eliminate shared coordinates in a project. You can move the Survey Point back to the same spot as the Project Base Point and then use Specify Coordinates at Point to reset the coordinates the file is using. You can't turn on the Visibility of either Survey or Project Base Point in a Link.

It was meant to make it simple to alter the appearance of our model to be more in sync with what a structural engineer wants to see. Apart from the automatic graphically biased changes they make, they really just help us segregate views in the project browser. In my opinion Discipline should only apply for Project Browser sorting.

I think that it is natural to be inclined toward building very parametric families. This useful name is essential for later re-use, of course, so that someone can grab it for a future project with a similar need, and adjust the family to suit. A few of us remarked that we were seeing a trend away from trying to create super-families.
