I work for a structural engineer ~ so as such, we're not at the top of the consultant chain. We are not the ones setting the standards for title blocks, sheet sizes, scales...etc. we work with several different architecture firms that use a variety of platforms - this isn't a problem because i redraw the portions of the building from their plans that we need (structural walls, openings..) and just send acad or dfx back. today the discussion here turned to the fact that we will also have low-priority in setting the revit version a project will use as some of our clients are talking of making the switch. in particular, one firm we work with bought revit 2009 but opted to let their subscription lapse when the economy turned sour. i've been told they have no plans to reinstate it at this time, but will use 2009. because of this, i have to keep 2009 on my computer, i've also kept 2010 and am using 2011. i'm working on the detail & family libraries - and guess what? i'm afraid i have to do all of it in 2009 just in case a client wants to use that version. we can't be the only consultant firm that is facing this problem - how do others handle it? do you just abandon file sharing and the clash detection/monitoring?? i would obviously be able to use their files, but share nothing back unless i export it to acad or the like.
