thanks for your (#@#$) input.
Thing you failed to understand is the one Golden Rule: "He who has the gold RULES".
I'm not the one setting up this collaboration, the client is and I have to follow 'his' lead on this.
Yes, I'm well aware that the TW functions in Archicad work well. I've used them before with success. Though, as of late, I've been noticing that there is some sort of "charge" for using the BIM Server software? I know that I once tried to convince another client to setup a TW account and he was told that it would cost him $3000 per year to be able to use the TW feature? not sure who nor really what he asked from the GS folks...and their local reps but that's what he was told.
I'm all in agreement that TW should be the way to go.
Again, it's not my call, I can only suggest and follow suite.

You can also use the line tool to draw walls.
This is sadly a common workflow for those who have not yet discovered the power of teamwork or are to afraid/overwhelmed to deal with setting it up.
You can open up a solo project in your explorer window like you said, but only one person can do it at a time and it's only one step better than emailing each other the file.
Get onto Teamwork and move on. Teamwork also has the benefit of better backups and library management.
Cheers,
