This is hopefully one in a series of threads to document various concrete examples of why we need Teamwork capability.
My first example is the ability to work on window and door schedules:
In a typical 2D workflow in our office somebody would get on with the door/window schedules while someone else continued working on plans or elevations for instance.
In a single-model BIM scenario we're faced with having to juggle the model between ourselves.
No longer can I carry on working on plans while someone works on the door schedule. They need the model in order to edit the doors and data fields.
So this is an example of where using a BIM workflow in Vectorworks is actually slower than a 2D workflow. Because we don't have teamwork capabilities.
"Sorry boss, can't hit that deadline for the elevations (or sections, or plans...) if we want to get on with the door schedule...." "Shall we buy Archicad now?"
