Detail library in small firms

cmorel — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:04:18 GMT

I was wondering how folks manage their 2d detail library.

We are a small office doing a VERY wide range of commercial projects where each architect/project manager works on their own project from A to Z.

We are working hard to establish standards / better workflows and one of them would be to use a shared detail library.

I was thinking of sharing a pln with worksheets organized by divisions from which we can either copy / paste or hot link.

Thoughts? Advice?

Have you seen this other thread not sure it's the most up-to-date approach but it gives some workarounds. We are looking at similar issues of how to refine the construction drawing elements and how much of the 3d modelling drives the construction details.

I read it, but it's dated, hence my newest post.

I was hoping there'd be a new feature in 26 or something I had missed that would make searching, retrieving and linking the details easier...

I can't find an article on workflow for this topic. Should I have posted under Project Management?
