lbuttery Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 my partner and I lived in different states I used date and time and also LBX12 in file name He would use JKX12 thus, we knew who last worked on the plan and what version it was created in as we also worked on prior versions for clients With Gmail you can send huge file sizes with no problem it also helps to have some kind of "zoom" capability to help discuss design and changes instead of saying "no, the third window from the door on the left", "do you see it ?" "ok, look at the ceiling mess above that window being able to see someone else screen and even recording the session is very handy with most "zoom" type apps you can even take control of their computer we used Mikogo: https://www.mikogo.com/ Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Assuming that you are both using the same version of the program, the Backup Entire Plan tool is the recommended way of doing this.

angelaleigh Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I have used the Backup Entire Plan feature and the person I sent it to says they are unable to edit the .plan file upon opening. What are we doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are we doing wrong? sounds like they have one of the Home Designer Products, for which you need to enable the editing capability ( will vary depending on version of HD.)
