A future that's already happening: the big upgrade of Rawlplug's BIM library to version 2.0! Rawlplug's BIM is our design tool, designed to support construction professionals involved in architectural, building, and structural design. "But why?" - someone might ask. We're already answering: first and foremost, it's about providing clients with robust, high-quality 3D models and drawings that make their work easier and save them time when designing. All delivered in the form of an intuitive and transparent online library. In the latest major update of BIM 2.0, we have put emphasis on time optimization: – a more convenient layout of assets – quick filtering – ability to download compressed file packages – applications dedicated to the best design software - plugins for Autodesk Revit and Graphisoft Archicad. We are developing the tool with our partner BIM ALLY Sp. z o. o. whose proprietary toolbox, #BIMAllyToolbox, is used to streamline the entire design process. Together, our teams have developed and implemented new features, such as digital BIM models, which allow Rawlplug products to be easily used in the design cycle. You can find more information on our website: https://lnkd.in/dK592RMK Feel free to use the library at: bim.rawlplug.com #Rawlplug #News #BIM #Software

#FAQ 🤔 - Is it better to edit OR recreate #Revit families from scratch when improving the quality of a Revit library? Swipe right to find out 👉 Somewhat surprisingly, especially for people familiar working in a CAD environment, recreating Revit families rather than editing them is often easier provides better outcomes when improving quality, as it allows for a clean slate to work with and ensures the families meet specific standards and best practices. ✅ 🌐 If you are a building product manufacturer Interested in learning more about Revit family creation, contact IGS Group (IGS BIM Solutions)) today! We offer expert BIM content creation services and can help you create high-quality, efficient Revit families that meet your specific requirements. 🤩 Designers?

In case you don't know, BlenderBIM is now Bonsai! Bonsai is a free open source IFC authoring platform! While it remains as a plugin to Blender, Bonsai is designed to be a comprehensive and truly native BIM authoring platform. Its capabilities include a wide range of tasks and workflows typically found across various BIM and CAD software, costing programs, scheduling tools, and simulation applications. While not an exhaustive list, some of the key things you can do with Bonsai include: *View and explore IFC models, including spaces, properties, and relationships *Edit and extract attributes, properties, and metadata directly from IFC data *Move, rotate, and modify the geometry of objects while preserving IFC semantics *Create new objects using predefined library elements or custom parametric types *Manage classification systems, document references, and link to external libraries *Generate 2D drawing views like plans, sections, and elevations with customizable annotations *Investigate and edit structural analysis models with support for various steel profiles *Model and manage complex distribution systems like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical (MEP) *Create construction schedules, perform critical path analysis, and generate sequence animations *Derive quantities from model elements and create cost schedules with formulas *Perform clash detection and coordinate models, managing issues across disciplines *Integrate non-geometric data like costing, scheduling, and asset management #MostafaElashmawy #TheDigitalCommunity #nimaAmbassador #ZiguratAmbassador #AutodeskExpertElite

Building product manufacturers, listen up! ✍️ Our latest BIMcontent.com April 2024 Statistics Report reveals an interesting trend: older versions of Revit like 2020, 2021, and 2022 still dominate Revit content format downloads. But why❓ Even with Revit 2025's recent release, many designers are still accessing Revit content in earlier versions, because: - Revit content is not backwards compatible (i.e. you can't put Revit content from a later version into a project that's running in an older version) - You can't 'back-save' Revit content - Because a lot of ongoing projects are still running in older versions of Revit, and they don't always get 'upgraded' to a newer Revit version during the design process ✨ Key takeaways for building product manufacturers: ✅ There's great benefit in providing your Revit library in multiple versions of Revit ✅ You definitely do NOT want to limit the usability of your Revit content by only offering it in the latest Revit version! At IGS Group (IGS BIM Solutions), we understand the importance of accessibility. We help manufacturers create BIM content compatible with multiple Revit versions, ensuring a greater number of designers can seamlessly integrate your products into their projects. 💻 If you are a manufacturer looking to create BIM content for your products for the first time or update your existing Revit library to meet designer needs, reach out to us today!

🌟 Hey BIM Explorers 🌟 As a hardcore Archicad BIM user with a penchant for exploring open-source products, I recently decided to revisit FreeCAD's BIM workbench after some time away. Let me tell you—it was quite the journey! Spending a whole Sunday immersed in FreeCAD was both challenging and exhilarating, but I must say, the results were beyond my expectations. While FreeCAD is primarily known for mechanical engineering and assembly modelling, I was pleasantly surprised by its robust BIM capabilities. Despite the initial learning curve, I managed to create a remarkable architectural model inspired by the stunning designs of YuugaDesign. 🏗️ Setting a one-day time limit was ambitious, but it pushed me to unleash my creativity and problem-solving skills. Although my rendition wasn't a replica, it captured the essence of the original design, and that's what truly matters. What truly captivated me were FreeCAD's Sketcher workbench and its ability to parametrically interconnect properties. And let's not forget about the seamless integration with spreadsheets—a feature that proved to be a game-changer in my workflow. 📊 I'm excited to share my journey and insights as I continue to explore FreeCAD's capabilities. Join me as we dive deeper into the world of open-source BIM tools, revolutionizing architectural design one model at a time! 💡 #BIM #OpenSource #ArchitecturalDesign #FreeCAD #SketcherWorkbench #ParametricModeling #blender #bimmodeling

❓ Building Product Manufacturers, did you know? 🔄 Every year the industry's most widely utilised project design software #Revit is updated to include new features, improve performance, and rectify known issues.
