![]() ![]() It's a different world from Design Professionals and if you haven't been in the midst of one of the actual companies it's hard to understand how different it is. You can farm-out LSPs to remote firms for a fraction of staff costs, then have staff review to make sure things aren't awful. Costs being as low as possible overrule software efficiencies that may come from Revit. They look at each others subdivisions and see what's going up then do their own twist on it.Īrchitecture staff is kept at a minimum with high output goals, and churn is high. Why are things in production so cookie cutter? Because they sell. You make your money selling the house, and you sell houses based on what people are buying, not design ideals. They don't design, they don't plan, they don't inform beyond "This is what code requires us to do" and "Here are the master/ permit set of plans."ĭesigns are run by marketing or division presidents, and MAY be informed by design staff with training. It is pure overhead, not a value driver and to be kept to a minimum on staff and resources. ![]() It's not only a huge undertaking, but the architecture department at a builder is viewed as a necessary evil. Then there's 30+ years of legacy plans using this X-ref or Layer-based system that need to be remodeled, and information strategy behind that. * Here's the roof that covers all these options (or the multiple roof plan segments following the same logic) * Here's the optional 2nd floor master extension over the garage * Here's the optional sun room w/ living room extension * Here's the optional brick wrap foundation Cad overlays of X-refs or turning on and off layer simply work for the speed they need. I've seen addons try and manage it but they still fail in a big way. Revit isn't able to handle the work, because the options manager is garbage for 30+ interacting options on a building. They do not have the professional staff to leverage the software.Because Revit simply can't handle the work.Production Housing is in CAD and will be for a while for two reasons. It's what Autodesk was saying to not lose the client, whose workflows are primarily AutoCAD. It's not what a rep is saying in this case, as I'm the Technical Rep on the reseller side. Its support is there for editing the few authoring files they need to support for project workflows that can't be done via their own software. It's like talking to a brick wall.Īnd that's WITH the backing of a few billion-dollar customer accounts voicing the complaint.ĭesktop Connector is an addon to the main product, ACC and Docs. They won't even acknowledge the sync times are absolute dog-shit for AutoCAD in a production environment. I just want to ask if anyone knows how much effort Autodesk puts in their windows Desktop Connector. You can't host a number of business-required filetypes in it and would need an Amazon/ Google/ Boxx/ Dropbox account alongside if you're looking to remove local file servers from your tech solutions. I've said it 3 times because I've run into more than one Sales Rep pushing this as a solution for customers trying to move all their files to the cloud.ĪCC/ BIM Collaborate/ Docs are project-based cloud solutions, not online File Server replacements. Keep in mind that ACC/ B360 is NOT a replacement to a file server. Why they can't do it like Google Drive or OneDrive from Microsoft?ĭo you have any similar problems? How do you deal with that?Or do you know who to contact with this? WE want to buy licenses for whole company (50+) and ONLY thing that slow us is ther implementation to Windows explorer. Or just random error messages when we're doing something. You have character limitations to 244 characters (but OneDrive and Google Drive support longer, so you can clearly fix that if you really want) ![]() You cant copy entire folders from one location to another (or it sometimes works but sometimes doesn't.) Right click have ULTRA limited functionality (open with doesn't work, Create zip, print, share etc.) I have constant errors when copying files from one folder to another, I cant download file to docs directly from chrome because whole app crashes. I testing it for my company in one project and everything is very good (issues, rights, coordination) but one thing block us before we can think about swapping more projects to this platforms.And thats their ULTRA LIMITED Desktop Connector app for Windows. ![]()
