![]() Vectorworks and Microstation are very 1980. At the moment ArchiCADD does the best with the server(anyone here how it is working?) with REVIT and its huge slow files second. ![]() They do what you say which is to allow for larger teams to work together. Half of them won't even have heard that VW is meant to be a competitor to the apps they are using.Ĭhristiaan, none of the other BIM apps are the grail you seek, they all suck for the creation of architecture. We need a server/client form of teamwork.Well tell that to all the offices over 5 people who are working in a strict 3D workflow and making money doing it. And the more people you have the less economic it gets because all the heavy lifting doesn't scale well not in the least because all the heavy lifting required by VW can be done in a million different ways, requiring huge amounts of time just to manage the process and keep an eye on things. There is far too much heavy lifting required by the user to make it economical. We use aspects of VW 3D where it's advantageous but if I started advocating a strict 3D workflow and all the freeform modelling and fiddling about that entails and all the laborious and slow workgroup referencing that entails I'd be rightly laughed out of the office. Clearly not enough people at NNA over past years have seen building modelling as a competitive advantage as if being able to model an inclined wall manually somehow competes with the ability to use a dynamic wall tool that does it for you. ![]() Even worse, I think VW's (very good) freeform capabilities have acted as a hindrance to it's development as a building modelling app. Put it this way: if VW did building modelling better than or as good as its competitors then freeform modelling would be a huge advantage. Half of them won't even have heard that VW is meant to be a competitor to the apps they are using. Well tell that to all the offices over 5 people who are working in a strict 3D workflow and making money doing it. And for some time now it's been marketed as a first resort as if it's VW's major advantage over other 3D CAD apps. And freeform modelling needs to take a back seat freeform modelling needs to be a last resort, not a first resort. We need a server/client form of teamwork. There are too many of these kinds of issues. You may well advocate 40 people switching to a 3D workflow but you're not doing it. Working in teams is a different kettle of fish. The point is the vast majority of people who say they *use* a strict 3D workflow in their day-to-day work are sole practitioners.
