![]() ![]() Basic documentation tools like titleblock is SLOW (hinders document issuing time) Elevation and Section viewports are SLOW (hinders documentation efficiency) These are some of our major gripes with documenting in Vectorworks: BIMserver and BIMcloud are server-managed.īeing able to do simultaneous syncing (saves time) and cut out data losses (saves even more time) is very important to us right now.Īs it is, Project Sharing is slow, and is prone to data loss (we lose data through Project Sharing on a weekly basis).Īs for 'bad assumptions', I do feel that when using Vectorworks as a 'Documentation Tool' (ie using it to create contract drawings), it feels like the people creating Vectorworks don't have much idea of how this process works, or have themselves been documenters. With this feature, it would make Vectorworks scaleable for any offices and project size. ‘ BIMserver’s mulitherading architecture allows any number of clients to simultaneous sync.’ ![]() We need to end project delivery disruptions due to the current method of Project Sharing.īelow is a video on ArchiCAD BIMserver and BIMcloud. This has been my experience, and I also verified this with someone who professionally maintains ArchiCAD systems for architects and saw through its ‘file-based project sharing’ era.Īs both ArchiCAD and Vectorworks are Nemetschek brands, surely Vectorworks engineers can learn from the experiences of ArchiCAD engineers and implement BIMserver into Vectoworks Carr close this 23-year technology gap with ArchiCAD on Project Sharing. Problems with file-based Project Sharing: Entire file needs to be synced (takes a long time, processing) Other team members are locked out during the sync process (waste of staff time) Constant file corruption and information loss (waste of time and soul destroying). In contrast for us, it is year 2020, Vectorworks still ’project shares’ with the technology of Teamwork, Archicad ditched this method 11 years ago because of its problems. In 2019, ArchiCAD retired BIMserver, supporting only BIMcloud. In 2014, ArchiCAD introduced BIMcloud, which allows remote collaboration. In 2009, ArchiCAD ditched Teamwork and introduced BIMserver, a server-side project sharing management tool, allowing fast and simultaneous syncing. Way back in 1997, ArchiCAD introduced Teamwork, a file-based project sharing method, like how we have it in Vectorworks today. ![]()
