Then both we and the software makers market it to our clients as the greatest thing since slice bread. They adopt. Then turn around and tell us what software to use and how to use it. The double edged sword cuts again.
... but the job we are chasing is for the core of engineers and they insist it is 100% Bentley. UGh

That may be a double edge sword but powers that be that are clueless to BIM and Architecture period is more like a bazooka to the face.

They finally ended up hiring a guy to run Navisworks to import models from the designers to show the owners they are doin' BIM. It's not used in any way other than for show (no project management, field coordination, interference check, estimating, nothing)
