The SmartBIM Library version 4.0 is now available. Version 4.0 supports Revit 2011 and includes includes network licensing capability and usability enhancements. SmartBIM Library is a cost-effective solution for Autodesk® Revit® users that:
- Streamlines design workflow
- Facilitates the generation of catalogs from Revit objects
- Simplifies storage, organization and location of Revit objects including user’s existing content
- 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 22,950 high quality Revit family types. Reed, an AIA partner, creates these SmartBIM objects to meet the high standards architects demand.
One Source 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 Revit objects in one place.
Search, View, Tag and Manage Objects
Users can view Revit Families by category and type, hierarchies, 3D thumbnails, DWF views or by searching family, property, type and userdefined tags. Drag-and-drop can also be used to insert families into a Revit project or save families to a directory folder.
Best Practices and 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.
