We have a teamwork plp. file on our network that everyone signs up to by choosing a workspace, I think the reason we have to change workspace so often is because we have to sign up in small areas just to avoid each other. For example, I need to work on 6 different stairs, but the interiors dept. needs the majority of the first floor plan to work on floor finishes. The way we usually handle this is interiors would choose a large area with marquee, and I would jump around the plan choosing the stairs one at a time. Usually we can coordinate to where we can avoid these situations, but occasionally work must be done by multiple people on similar areas. The copying and pasting issue occurs when one person needs to be exclusive for some reason and another teammate can work on a wall section that is in 2d from a saved pln. and later paste it in. We do this as little as possible, but if there was a more efficient way to work on a solo project and update changes into a main plan it would probably become a more standard practice.
These concerns are for a smaller project in our office. In a larger project this isn't as big of an issue because team members are assigned a small building to work on within a giant project, and they generally stick to that one area. Where as this project is a three story building (each floor about 50,000 sf), and all teammates work on all areas. I hope this makes our situation more clear, but I can always elaborate. If you have any advice, well then thank you.
