Teamwork Glitch??

[Anonymous]

2nd day trying out teamwork in AC13 and there seem to be some issues (whether they're human or computer is yet unknown). I want to reserve the first floor of a small project. I've tried from both the view set and from the project map selecting the first floor and then clicking "reserve". Once I do this, the first floor does not have a green circle near it at all, in fact, one of the sections, all elevations, and one interior elevation somehow get reserved. The first floor is not reserved, i cannot alter anything there.

Is anyone else working in teamwork in 13 and having any problems??

Also, I constantly work in the "view map" to navigate through the project. Does this mean that every time I want to reserve something, I have to go to the project map and find it, then reserve it? I understand that if I reserve something through the view map, I'm only reserving the view settings of that specific detail, but this adds an extra step.

Steven, Could you please post all these Teamwork questions in the right forum. Surely you have noticed "Teamwork/Bimsever" above.

Surely, I have not!

I see that now and will do so in the future. Can I move my own post or does an admin have to do it?

In the View Map, you can right click a view and select reserve view settings or reserve elements which brings up the reserve elements dialog allowing you to then select all elements in that view.

If you are in the Navigator, then you cannot use the Reserve button of the Teamwork Palette to reserve things (I am not completely sure this is what you are doing).
In the Navigator you need to select the given item at which time the Teamwork Status panel appears at the bottom of the Navigator and you an Reserve the item.

In the Project Map, if you right-click an item (e.g. a Story) you can select the Reserve command from the context menu. In that case ArchiCAD will reserve the Settings Dialog of that item. In case of a Story, the Story Settings Dialog where you define new Stories and Change Story heights etc. In case of Sections it reserves the Section Settings Dialog.
So this Reserve command of the Navigator does not reserve elements visible on the Floor Plan. It reserves settings of items.

It works similarly in the View Map, you Reserve Folder Settings or Reserve View Settings depending on what you have selected in the View Map. E.g. you select a View, Reserve View Settings and then you can redefine the settings for that View.

If you want to Reserve elements you have to select them on the Floor Plan or wherever and use the Teamwork Palette's Reserve command or the Teamwork commands from the context menu.

I suggest you watch the movies from the upcoming Collaboration Interactive Training Guide.
