I'm trying to change layer combinations in AC13 teamwork. I can reserve layers by clicking on the reserve button below, and I understand that reserves all the layers, but the Update button under layer combinations is grayed out no matter what I do.
Help?!?!
In the defaults, only the Lead Architect has the ability to modify combos. An architect can create new layers and combos in those defaults, but not delete or modify. See attached screenshot reached from your BIM Server manager > Roles group Settings or Create buttons.
Hope that's it, anyway.
Cheers,
Karl

Of course you can create custom roles, also, or customize the ones that are there - such as giving Architects the ability to delete/modify layers and combos (but not, e.g., draftsmen).
I do not know (want to test?) if you are signed in under the Architect role and an admin adds a new ability (such as delete/modify), if that ability is immediately available to the signed-in user, or if they have to do a send/receive or something...

Good news on both counts!🙂
