Fewer spreadsheets, more data in the model, with better reporting out of the model. Using the model to generate "live information" to keep people up-to-date on progress ("live" 4D?). Using BIM to really "digitally prototype" the building (same vein as what Peter was talking about yesterday and plenty of others before them).

With the CEA tools you can fully control the volumes that you are going to analyze, which also means that you can create a more simplified "zone" model of a building for export to more detailed energy analysis programs. This is a bit of a manual process, but results in a cleaner, better model for use in IES, Ecotect or Equest.

No one else is going to be able to edit ANY modeled elements that are on that workset. or do a save to central and relenquish user-created worksets so other users can work on the model too.

build your as-built model in the existing phase. Once an as-built model is done you might want to archive a copy of the model just incase the design scope changes and you have to start all over again with a clean as-built. The model builder is going to have to do partial demolition of walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, etc.

First off (before you get upset at my comments) You guys are doing great work for Revit and BIM!!! I completely understand the desire to replicate your graphic standards and the like but in-place families mostly detract from a BIM, rather than add to them. Plus in-place families detract from performance of the team, model and file.
