It is pathetic to assume that the collaboration on a project is best done through PDF sharing. That makes Revit useless for collaborations, why don’t you just draft in 2d then? If this is how you work - your clients are not getting the benefit of your own marketing of BIM.  But just because one is willing to share a model to collaborate with other consultants - it does not mean they are also willing to share all the components of the model and give the right for individual components to be modified. And by the way - it's a 2-way street, they might not want to share their stuff either.

 

It is not pretentious. That is like saying that intellectual property has no value.  So the people editing their photos should just share their ‘actions’ with other photographers. Or hell, just give the images to the world for free… why not? it's not like they can’t travel to wherever and take the same photo? Right??? The only people thinking that way - are people who never create anything.

 

absurd…

 

We pay our employees to design families or create standards. It should be the firm’s choice to share that with other firms and or clients. It should not be assumed that in the sake of making the process much more efficient and streamlined and saving money and time to the end client, you are supposed to just give everything up. It is also securing the jobs of employees that are actually knowledgeable in the software.

 

We install components where they are supposed to go and create parameters for components the way they are intended to be in the design. If a part of the team goes in and changes the parameter slightly without notifying anyone - this is NOT ok. And there is no way of tracking that either. It is not “pretentious” to ask for password protection. Acrobat does it… No one said that acrobat invented typing…. or that it is so special that no other software can do this. But it is a needed implementation for the ease of collaboration, liability and quality control of projects.

On a separate note - I am personally a believer in sharing your knowledge and helping the community. I am too a part of multiple forums and groups on Revit and I do share my own models or families or tips. BUT that is MY choice to do so, it is not taken from me. There is a huge difference.

 

You are so consumed by being “marketable”. It is not about marketing. I don’t “sell” idea to the client that I have a fancy model or a unique family. But my efficiency and productivity are marketable. If you don’t see the value in that - then you don’t understand the subject.
