Anthony, I can't tell you what's wrong, but I can confirm that the BBMS SS1 V8i (08.11.07.55) works fine on my Windows 7 Enterprise workstation. Although I am a network admin, I am typically logged in as a domain user and it works fine. I do have UAC…
I reviewed the new USACE workspace (there is a new one for V8i: 09Q4a_v8i) and the MSDIR is defined like this:

Okay folks
Our client requires our model for use in Navisworks, where they intend to sequence the build. They are asking for a notional grid of some kind which Navisworks can read and then chop the building (the brickwork for example) into parts/cubes…
