Network folder setup and organization of resources

[pdavis]

Are you setting up a folder structure for a single location or multiple?

Someone had mentioned to me the SmartBIM Library. You can also view a demo of the product here. What I have yet to determine is if this costs money

It looks like its $500 for a license. I don't think that's too bad if you're using Revit as your primary means to develop drawings. I haven't really looked at all it offers, but I think it has potential for some people.

In our particular case at the moment it is a single location. However, long term wise it would be nice if the solution were adapatble to either scenario.

With regard to the Delivered Content, do you then make those folders read-only to avoid accidental overwrites and force the issue that if they change they are made part of your office created content?

I have all the content read only except to myself, this way i can control what is there and can prevent accidental overwrite.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Is there an alternate anyone has found to SmartBIM Library? Are there other options that do a similar thing?

I looked into it and $250 seems steep for a seat when you have 50+ in these times...

Also I would like to just be able to catalogue the familes we create, not ones given to us by Reed or Sweets... I'm sure it does that as well, I just don't know if that option can be turned off.

Thanks
