Not sure I'm catching the thread. If it's about library details, there is a big cost saving advantage. There is also a trap. You may be quite familiar with the array before you. I'm talking to possibly younger, less experienced, less committed architects. Look carefully so that you understand the details. They may look applicable, but if you aren't familiar with the total assembly and context, you may find yourself in a situation, such as an RFI, where you'll need to defend your drawings. and "clarify" the details. Now E&O may become important. Are you willing to back up what you have published? No? So a bidder or a awarded contractor may "redo" the detail/context for you. You can count on cost increases and a skeptical reception from the owner/client. Nothing wrong with lots of extraneous details. You went through school, internship, employment, and now you have a reasonable shot at discerning what is sensible and correct in putting together a rational set of condocs. Don't squander your educational advantage for a quick answer. And best of luck in your career.

I would be interested to hear from active users, too. I've seen this a few times over the past two years and been extremely intrigued. At $550/year, it would only have to save about 2-6 hours of time. I easily spend multiples of that on building new families and drawing what should often be details from a library, so I think it could be extremely helpful.
