Why would the good character or even the BIM knowledge of a person be undermined by a paper-notebook and a pen? None of the above should be an embracement to those actively promoting BIM? but not on paper…oh, what a feeble pun) You BIM? If your title has BIM in it, you ought to go paperfree!

Linked Revit models start using an individuals collaboration cache location for the path instead of the project's BIM 360 location. Most of the active projects I deal with are still based on Revit 2020. BIM 360 at least has Force Relinquish.but now we're told you really shouldn't use it because it might wreck your linked model paths.

For starters, you’re dealing with an old structure without CAD files and limited documentation. Having a competitive edge in BIM is helpful in this regard. But while BIM usage is growing, a good chunk of firms— 59% based on our research —say that their workforce doesn’t have the skills needed to work with BIM. .
