CADENAS PARTsolutions adds Autodesk® Revit® 3D BIM Modeling Format
CADENAS PARTsolutions, a global provider of online product catalogs, configurators and 3D CAD download technology, announces the launch of the newest output format; Autodesk® Revit®. Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology allows designers, engineers and purchasers in the architecture, building technology and support structure planning industries to download 3D architectural models and integrate them directly into their design in the native Revit® format. Revit® adds the one of the fastest growing formats to CADENAS PARTsolutions current line-up of more than 150 native and neutral CAD systems.
CADENAS PARTsolutions Revit® support allows engineers and designers to save hours they would normally spend creating the various standard components in their designs; they can now source and download the BIM files directly from the manufacturer. Additionally, by adding Revit® to their CAD selection, industrial manufacturers can continue to ride the wave of BIM popularity and see greater visibility with a larger audience.
A popular international application for 3D modeling by the architecture and engineering industries, Autodesk® Revit® is designed specifically for BIM. BIM aids building professionals to design, build and maintain higher-quality, more energy-efficient buildings by using intelligent models to gain project insight through simulation and analysis to predict performance prior to construction. Additionally, BIM allows for greater product metadata integrated directly into the model, including specific item information and features.
“By adding Revit® to our arsenal of capabilities, we really achieve two objectives” says, Rob Zesch, President of CADENAS PARTsolutions. ”First, we are able to help industrial manufacturers reach a new audience of design professionals who work exclusively in the Revit® and BIM formats, which will significantly boost their sales. Second, we’re able to fill a need and better support a much broader segment of manufacturers who primarily produce products for the architecture, structural engineering and interior design communities.”
