Sharing all the documentation and data across the vast amount of offices involved is tricky, to say the least. Currently, the SLC project is exporting upward of 4700 virtual PDF prints weekly. We were also exporting 51 Navisworks NWC files from the Revit models twice-weekly for clash detection and daily AutoCAD exports for civil coordination.
