Creating Transmittals

O_De Costa — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 13:28:31 GMT

I am not sure if it is that I am doing something wrong, but it seems one would require to reserve an entire team project in order to create a transmittal. So my question is, do I have to reserve the entire project to create a submittal for a selected "Subset" ?

Reserving the entire project for this purpose is non-productive since others will have to wait until elements are released again. This is frustratingly compounded having to deal with inter region latency regarding network speed. And for a project size over +5G it takes a huge junk of productive time.

I would appreciate any assistance if there is any.

Do you mean a Transmittal? You can normally create a new Transmittal if you have the very top level of the Layout Book reserved and obviously any layouts that need the views updating without having to reserver the entire project.

@Lee Hankins ; thank you for the prompt reply and also thank you for the correction--I often make that mistake. However, i tried your suggestion first before I replied here. After reserving the entire "sheet layout set" along with the "publisher" does not give me the "OK" towards creating a new Transmittal just for the selected "subset".😕

It needs to be the very top layer of the Layout Book not the subset. (Where the grey icon is above the one you have selected in the second image).
