Telecommuting

[Anonymous]

just curious...how many out there are you telecommuting in a small office. And is AC a good tool to do this with. Any takers...after all it is Sunday

Yes, for the both…

450 kms under me and my old office…

ArchiCAD with Teamwork and good pen charts is a good way to do this.

When you sign into a Teamwork job, you have the option of saving a "satellite copy" of your libraries.

You can only send & receive when you are connected to the network, either via VPN or in person.

Sure - Idaho, USA and Auckland, New Zealand, but of course distance doesn't matter. You could share a project between Timbiktu and Easter Isalnd - as long as they both had internet access.

You can simply email zipped up Teamwork Draft Archives (.pca's) - that's what they're there for!

I work remotely and always use a local copy of CAD things although connect direct for other items - spec databases etc

Djordje,

I posted this subject in "Working with Archicad”…it’s gets the most traffic and I wanted to see how other firms split up there files and go about working in a telecommute environment…. I guess I will continue here……

if you telecommute how do you have a manager look over their employees work during the day

is there a way to look over the files live…..

when you access a project is better to cache the library on your home computer or to pull off your server….

Anyway more question to come…would like some more detailed feed back…I think it’s great that works but I need to present the how instead of the wows
