Teamwork in ArchiCAD with Octane
Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2015 4:08 pm
How does it work really in Teamwork?
It works, I use it, but if somebody else opens an Octane-Plugin at once, the complications come.
You don´t have to reserve anything, but you are always allowed to set the Octane-materials, you can set the proxies to the ArchiCAD-objects. Both of you have the right to change something, the only question is, who wins.
My job is to tell the colleagues the limitations in teamwork. Therefore I would like to know, what happens when I send and recieve. When are the Octane-settings safe stored? When can somebody else open on another computer the Octane-Plugin, and work further?
Could you script the Plugin for teamwork as well in the future?
For example:
- No possibility to set a material, if the materials are not reserved.
- No possibility to set Rendertargets, if the viewports are not reserved.
- No possibility to set proxies, of the AC-object is not reserved.
Many Thanks, and best wishes
