== Features ==

Graphisoft's latest collaboration solution —unlike the former TeamworkTeamWork feature which was a file-based technology without a server-side component— is a database driven technology, therefore every time a change is sent to the centrally administered project, not the whole project, but only the changed elements are sent between clients and the server. TheThis drastically decreased the volume of the necessary network traffic facilitatescompared to the previous technology, facilitating a practically real-time collaborative environment between remote users with ordinary internet connection.

Graphisoft BIM server allows to set up different users and roles for the shared projects, where architects and draftsmen can easily reserve certain parts of the project to further elaborate. In the meantime other members can easily identify who is currently working on a specific building element. Having finished the actual tasks, a user can release the previously reserved elements or other group members can request the release with the built-in communication functions such as intant messages within ArchiCAD between team members.
