Hey all,

Had an interesting thing pop up today. We're using RS2014 for a project that 3 offices in different cities are modeling in and the issue came up that I (architecture model) was in the MEP linked model as a user. Now, I have never created a local file for the MEP model. The most i've done is hide a fintube IN MY ARCHITECTURAL MODEL through Visibility Graphics.

Is there any reason that my user name would have gotten control of a linked file to the point where the mechanical engineer couldn't touch anything in his model without putting in a relinquish request to me, in a model I haven't created...?

To "solve" this, I had to create a local MEP model off our RS, relinquish and STC. Obviously that did the trick, but how in the world did I gain control of a model I've never touched?

Is there an update coming out that I don't know about, or is this a "known issues" ? I'll try to find out what service pack version we're running on...
