make teamwork warnings stop

Patrick M

these warnings are still happening prolifically. weekly for some people. 
This particular instance, the users bimcloud activity shows that they are receiving & reserving, but no send has been reported. This means they have to save a pln, discard their local data, and redo half a days work or tediously copy it in from a saved pln.
Honestly, if graphisoft did nothing more than make bimcloud stable, reliable, and consistent; I'd be happy with any features or lack of in future releases. I can't tell you how demoralizing and stressful it is to talk designers down off the ledge after they lose 4-8 hours of work due to teamwork malfunction.
and NO, I will no longer be accepting the "what did they do wrong?" or "it has to be something in the file" excuses. BIMCLOUD simply does not work reliably. If there are supposed to be parameters for files to work on BIMcloud, then those need to be outlined in black and white. The "do not cross" thresholds, if it REALLY is a problem with files or user error, need to be laid bare for everyone to understand those limitations. 
If it really is libraries, and attributes, and polygon count, and session reports, and library loading reports, and file size, and... that is causing this, then archicad simply does not work. Architects and designers do not have the band width to manage files to a pristine level where teamwork errors may pop up on a hair trigger. 
Make BIMcloud work. Make Archicad work. Its getting harder and harder, borderline impossible, to argue in favor of graphisoft, when warnings like this are a daily reality for firms pushing the limits of design.

I can only imagine how annoying these can be for you and the companies you work for.

But this is not about that. It is about you posting the same screenshot three times in 4 days in the same thread.

but that is sort of the point, in a way. This isn't an issue that I come across once and am uncertain how to handle. Its one that has been plaguing Archicad users for 2-3 years now, with no apparent interest in a resolution.

 
This isn't just me getting this warning, it's me hearing about this warning from the 150-200 people I help on a weekly basis. If I have to hear how much people are frustrated by this, I think it is important that Graphisoft, and the larger Graphisoft community is aware of the frequency and severity of this issue.
Maybe the wishlist forum isn't the best outlet; but in 3 years, I have not heard a reasonable response from local support or even in-person discussions with GS.

 

I'll digress and refrain from blasting this post further, and go back to grumbling to myself.
