BIM Server - Teamworks General Questions:

[rob2218]

well, here's some general questions I'm in need of getting some help on:
1. when the "Teamwork" projects tabs go "grey" and I can't send/receive nor can I "leave the project" what does that mean?
2. Open a teamwork project of "Join in"/ what does this mean? I thought you only "Open" PLN files?
3. Closing a Teamwork project? again...what does this mean?
4. When should you "Leave a teamwork" project?
5. When do you "close a teamwork" project?

these basic generalities I'm in need of help with guys.

We are in the beginning stages of a large residential remodel here in DC and well, I want to make sure the initial "Teamwork" setup is done right.

if anyone can point to a document/ an internet site/ a youtube video tutorial of how best to wrap my brain around the "Teamwork" concept, that would surely help.

So what is the correct way for the remote site to get back to the drawing on the server. Do they have to delete the detached file on their machine in order to redirect to the server? The choice to load from the server is greyed out.

If they have left the project then they have to rejoin and load the new local version. If there is orphaned work in the detached copy this can be copy/pasted or saved as modules and merged. The only grim part about this is the time thus lost by working on a detached copy, or if it causes you to make some mistakes you would not otherwise have made.
