I have a bit of a bonkers situation.
I know that is a ton of setup info... but I have no clue why Firm 2 cannot see the links using the live linking method. While we can switch to "Method 2 - Controlled Sharing - Link from the Shared Folder", if absolutely necessary, but the team would really prefer to stick with the Live Linking method. I would love to hear your thoughts if you have any. Thanks!
What are the advantages of the live linking method? (i have not used that method). If you use teams and folders for each discipline, one model per discipline in each team's folder, plus permissions to folders, everything works normally, and the setup is easy to understand (without using the Shared folder and live linking).
Alfredo.. despite saying you never try that method... I think you are actually describing Live Linking.
Here is the article from Autodesk that fully describes each of the file sharing/linking methods.
Live Linking does tend to be the easiest as far as set up and does not require any further actions - but every time a consultant synchs, you may see their changes in your model. Depending on how people work in their models, they may not want every synchronization that make to push through to the other team members... they may prefer to have more control on what version of their model is being linked in... in which case controlled sharing may make sense, directing the other firms to link to your model in the shared folder.... and then when you want that file to update, you publish your model and create a new package in Design Collaboration... Alternatively, we have had Electrical Engineers specifically say they don;t want to accept any changes after 2 weeks before the Submission Deadline - so they may choose to link to a "consumed" version of the Architects model, giving them a bit more control over the backgrounds used in their own set.
Anyway - all this is irrelevant to the purpose of this post where two firms, sharing a single model, are not equally able to view the linked models from within BIM360. The more we look into this though.. the more it seems the second firm is having some issues with their firewall.
