Parallel Architectural Products Partners with BIMsmith to Launch New BIM Tools for Architects and Designers

Parallel Architectural Products, a leading provider of innovative architectural materials for commercial and residential projects, has announced a partnership with BIMsmith, the leading product research platform for building professionals, for the development of new Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools for architects, designers, and other building professionals.

The partnership includes a set of new Building Information Modeling (BIM) product models for Parallel’s range of architectural surface materials and design solutions. These digital models contain key data representing geometric and aesthetic properties, supporting more accurate early-stage design. Each model is natively built for Autodesk Revit, the global leader in BIM design software.

The collaboration also makes Parallel’s products available on BIMsmith Market, the leading cloud platform used by architects and engineers to conduct building product research and download Revit content.

“Designers are always searching for materials that offer both performance and beauty,” said Erin Patrick, Marketing Design Manager at Parallel Architectural Products. “By offering BIM content for our products, we’re equipping design professionals with the tools they need to confidently bring their ideas to life.”

"The aesthetics and functionality of Parallel's products present architects with a plethora of design options for their projects," said Benjamin Glunz, CEO of BIMsmith. "We're thrilled to introduce Parallel's products to the global audience of architects and designers on BIMsmith."
