I need help on this one... Point out anything weird you see... We have sent our model (copy of the central file) to the structural engineer. He makes his structural model and sends it to us (a copy of his central file). 1. We get a copy of his central file, that shoots warnings about not being able to connect to the network, etc... (is this normal?) 2. His central file has our model linked in, so it warns us that the linked file couldn't be found (should he unload our model before sending it to us?) 3. His model is aligned in the x-y axis but is off on the z axis by a few floors. (the underground garage structure is on level 4). I could manually pull the model down and align it, every time he sends us an updated model... but I don't think this is a good idea. 4. the idea is to delete any structural element in our model after the structural model is in place. (this has not happened yet) Now, I have read there is a way to "publish" coordinates and share them, so this linking goes seamlessly. How is this process? please point out if we screwed up anywhere in the process? Other question, is there a way of "sharing" your model without giving all the sheets, views, schedules, etc..... just the model? thanks!
