SmartBIM Libraryâ„¢ 3.5

Manage BIM Content with SmartBIM Libraryâ„¢ 3.5

The BIM movement is transforming design and giving architects more power and flexibility to realize their vision. SmartBIM Library 3.5 from Reed Construction Data is a cost-effective solution for managing all of your BIM objects and content for Autodesk® Revit®.

SmartBIM Library:

• Streamlines design workflow
• Simplifies storage, organization and location of Revit objects including user’s existing content
• Facilitates the generation of catalogs from Revit projects
• Enables manufacturers, architects, engineers and building owners to easily share catalogs of objects

OVER 23,000 QUALITY ARCHITECTURAL OBJECTS

SmartBIM Library comes pre-loaded with over 23,000 high quality Revit architecture family types. Reed, an AIA partner, created these SmartBIM objects to meet the high standards architects demand.

ONE RESOURCE TO SIMPLIFY BIM CONTENT MANAGEMENT

Automatically publish and load Revit families into SmartBIM Library from a user’s file system, Autodesk® Revit project files or Autodesk® Seek. Users can easily manage all BIM content in one place.

CREATE NEW CATALOGS & MERGE CONTENT

Easily navigate the SmartBIM Library, find the object and simply drag-and-drop it into a Revit project. Architects have the flexibility to create a master office catalog, a catalog for each project or a catalog for each building type.

SEARCH, VIEW, TAG & MANIPULATE OBJECTS

Users can view Revit Families by category and type hierarchies, 3D thumbnails, DWF views or by searching family, property, type and user-defined tags. Drag-and-drop can also be used to insert families into a Revit project or save families to a directory folder.

BEST PRACTICES & HELP IN ORGANIZING DATA

SmartBIM Library’s flexible interface includes guidelines describing best practices for modeling objects in Revit. These guidelines include modeling advice for each Revit category, recommended family and type name conventions, tips on modeling for ‘count ability’ and design representation.
