Exchange Now Open for downloads

[jbalding48677]

I know you are all waiting to hear what is going on with the exchange. Well they say that it is ready to begin the review process. I reviewed 10 files and then notieced a minor error in the spelling of Family (Familty). Because I don't know if that will affect the database, I have fired off and email to Dick and when he fixes it we can begin reviewing. I have written up a quick "how to" on reviewing files so we should be ready to go.

This has been a long drawn out process and schedules are getting in the way. People have been busy and/or on vacation (holiday). I hope that we have something cool by AU?!?!?!?

This is all ready to go. I have emailed you all instructions on how you can help out, please let me know if you have not received them.

This is all ready to go. I have emailed you all instructions on how you can help out, please let me know if you have not received them.

I won't check my email at the office until Thursday and won't act on a side issue like this 'til after the weekend. If you have the chance to mail it to sandra at ja-s.co.uk that would let me have a look see sooner.

Either way, thanks for the update.

Peter - Sounds like you have your own "bundle of joy" to be dealing with right now.

The rest of you have no excuses!!!

I have reviewed all but one of the files in the first batch and set them as "Active" ready to post. Now if Rich will just give me (or someone) access to the post button. We can move to phase II.

Rich and Dick are working on the viewer, the downloader and the individual uploader. They may even be ready now...

I will keep you all posted on the going's on and when the next batch is ready to review, just in case you cared

Sorry JB, this has come at a difficult time for me with looming and overlapping deadlines on a few projects.


I'm hoping I get get something done on it fairly soon though.

[PeterJ]

Beegee was advising that I stay away 'til next week but I am back in the office today. There is a surprisingly small pile of mail, so far about 40 phone messages and around 100 email, some of which will have evaded the spam filters and some of which will be real. Either way it's going to take me a couple of days to wade through all that. I'll review the stuff over/after the weekend and see where we go from there.

I will have a number of comflicting deadlines over the next two weeks which will only give me limited time to act as Exchange manage, particularly as I want to work short hours initially.

PeterJ and Jim,

I thought I would tackle some of this, however I can see only 98 families in the bulk-JB2 batch and all of them are marked "active" ( meaning "ready to go live". )

Where are the rest ??

[jbalding48677]

Beegee -

The files were posted in batches of around 100. The first batch was completed and they were begining to out the rest of the process in place when there was another idea... See below...

Gentlemen -

Rich called me on Friday and there is a possiblity that there will be a different solution to the exchange. He is going to get more details and get back to me. I will let you all know something as soon as I know, but it could be a great solution with a lot less work on our part.

Thanks for your efforts to date...

How about an update on what is being done to get the Exchange up and running? Is this a priority or is it sitting on a self somewhere? AUGI seems to be a giant step back for us Revit users. Maybe have a look at what's happening at www.revitcity.com.

Believe me, it's not sitting on a shelf. There has been a lot of work going on behind the scenes. Just recently, we found an option which may make the exchange even better.....evaluation is occuring. We're close....just hang in there!
