I know Sweets is putting their catalogue online w/ details and CAD files. The Open Architecture Network will launch its' resources section in the late fall and will include a wiki based database to input details etc. Hopefully we will be adding a feature to view CAD files inline by the spring.

We have a 6 terrabyte server, so space should not be an issue.

sounds promising

maybe using a page like cben.net

personally, cben is awesome... used weekly...

cben looks cool. def. will link to it.

uh, i have a lot i can share, and also a lot needed, so, i would be happy to share when the network is up and running

i think a site that did a bit more than CBEN would be great. that accepted more file types that made previews for images and that had all the previews for the cad files not just certain versions
oh and that the search always worked...
not that it is not a invaluable resources already it could just be more.

Shoot ideas my way we are building it next month...(ish)

I agree, I think they need not be "blocks" The idea is that you should be able to either use the details as is, or by modifying it some, and if you do modify it, you should be able to save it as a versio that in turn can be shared..

you should do your homework

I think it would be good to organize first by climate, then by building type, and then by spec section number....

as is done on sweets it benefits the manufacture to provide those details because it is there product

but a out of the mainstream repository for innovative details for all kinds of situations would go a long way.
