Now with Revit 2012, the part of the poorly written application is included.
For all of you that wished this to be part of Revit, you will likely regret it. The concept is very nice, but in practicality, it is better to toss a sponge ball at your teammate and ask for relinquish then to Place a Request, only to find out the person ignored your request, and shut down or crashed. Then another person access and places a request for the same element, view, or sheet view, only to find out that you have make the request before them. Then when the original person finally figures out that you placed a request, and grants it to you, but now you don't need it anymore. Guess what, now you have to grant it to the third person.
What a nightmare workflow!!!
