Consider sharing 2 different desktops (of two different consultants) at the same time, becomes handy when comparing 2 drawings of 1 spot in a building...

@buildinginfo Thank you for the suggestion. I have passed it on to the team.

Does this support verticals such as ACA?

[scottsh115]

At this point we wanted to get feedback on the latency so we just used vanilla AutoCAD. We are interested in using software as a service for application trials, so many of our design applications are being considered.

Can something like this be made for Revit Architecture? Given its sharing capabilities it would be a revolutionary way of working form anywhere...

[scottsh115]

Thank you for the suggestion. Providing software as a service alternatives for many of our design applications is under consideration.
