Had a question from a colleague of mine who is looking at some new platforms. He is trying out all big ones (Revit, Chief, Softplan, etc.) and he found this. Not being familiar with ArchChief I was wonder if anyone else is familiar with this or if we have something similar. Not sure how well it would actually work but interesting:
This might be too smart for SoftPlan, but I think Chief offers it to some degree…
Chief has print files (PDFs) set up to read directly from the drawing file, so technically one never has to actively create PDF prints. One simply goes to the print file and PDFs are created on the fly by accessing the drawing file. This would be helpful to ensure all vendors have real-time CDs.
But it would also be a great resource for sales collaterals / brochures. We would not have to consistently update and upload new ones every time a change is made to a plan. The sales agent would go to the print file and a real-time PDF is created as needed.
This means the files need to be in the cloud, and then accessible by non-users of SoftPlan drawing files.
Does all of this seem possible with SoftPlan?
