...I have a few other options to throw in the ring.<br /><br />1. This one depends on the nature of your Workset organization and is a tweak on the local file process (Less Brute Force). Let's say you are working on a multifamily podium project with a concrete garage and podium and wood structure on top or highrise with core and skin. If you seperate your worksets as such, one user could own the garage (or core) portion and one could own the podium and up (or skin). A few potential issues, but doable if needed.<br /><br />2. If you are lucky enough to have a mobile worstation (lucky me) you can go this route for small to medium projects and patience (think file size and internet connection). Basically you just VPN into your work network and work like you normally would. you might want to SwC less (or more) frequently based on your connection speed and what type of interaction you have in a multi-user setting. This one makes my 1.5 hour train ride much more productive...<br /><br />Anyway, my two cents.Devin C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15574640195253628169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-31515556245984889452012-03-20T05:21:51.896-07:002012-03-20T05:21:51.896-07:00Steve I have also set up clients who are using Rev...Steve I have also set up clients who are using Revit server. The individual installs a Revit Server on their laptop and when they SWC it is a central on their laptop and the central file links to the Revit Server. Seems to be working great for the clients who are using Revit Server.BD Mackey Consultinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811803961113290037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-53212237502777651102012-03-19T21:42:29.804-07:002012-03-19T21:42:29.804-07:00I reader wrote to me to remind me that Citrix is a...I reader wrote to me to remind me that Citrix is an option too, though slightly "heavier" overhead in the tech department for the average computer user.<br /><br />I might as well also mention the idea of the Cloud, BIM9 offers services to establish a private cloud server that could let your users access a project from anywhere, much more efficient after the initial setup and investment.<br /><br />Advance2000 is another such service except they provide hosted applications and technology versus BIM9's approach to helping you setup and manage your own.<br /><br />The more money and tech savvy you have the more options you have. This post is aimed more at the "average bear" that probably doesn't have significant resources to throw at the problem.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.com
