🖥️ How important is #quality when it comes to #manufacturer-based #BIM Content? 🤔 And why does quality even matter? 🤔 What can go wrong? More ⬇️ With BIM content (such as Revit families), both quality and standardisation of content is everything. ❗🚧 Revit families are NOT just another type of 3D CAD file that anyone with a CAD / Drafting / Industrial Design background can create. Revit (BIM) content creation must be undertaken with an acute understanding of how Revit content is used in projects, what it needs to do and how the Revit software works. Whilst high quality Revit families provide a range of efficiency and workflow benefits to designers in delivering their projects, some of the most common issues caused by poorly developed Revit families - and why specifiers are reluctant to use manufacturer-based content unless it's from a reputable source - include: 1️⃣ Project Model Performance Issues: Poorly optimized Revit families with overly complex geometry, unnecessary details, or too many nested components can slow down the project model, leading to long load times, sluggish performance, and making them harder to manage which increases the risk of file corruption or crashes, especially on larger projects. 2️⃣ Inaccurate Schedules and Quantities: If families have incorrect or missing parameter data (such as dimensions, materials, identification data), it can lead to inaccurate schedules and quantities, affecting cost estimation and procurement. 3️⃣ Inconsistent Graphics and Views: Families not properly set up to display correctly in different views (plan, section, elevation) can cause confusion and errors in construction documentation. 4️⃣ Clash Detection Failures: Improperly created families may lead to geometry or object clashes that aren’t detected in coordination tools. This could result in costly conflicts between different disciplines (architecture, structure, MEP) during construction. 5️⃣ Parameter Management Issues: Inconsistent or improperly configured parameters across families can lead to difficulty in applying changes, scheduling, filtering, and inconsistent tagging. This complicates model management and quality control. ⚠️ Unless Revit families are created by Revit content specialists, they will likely end up being of little use to designers and therefore, provide minimal or no value to the manufacturer. 🏗️ Manufacturers, curious about developing your BIM content library but not sure where to start or who to trust?

What designers think when they download poor-quality #BIM content from #manufacturers: 😡 More ⬇️ David Rose’s reaction says it all. “Why would you have allowed this to happen?” It’s a common frustration in the design community; dealing with BIM content from manufacturers (usually #Revit families) that’s poorly made and time-consuming to fix, or more common, a waste of time even trying. 🌐 In today’s era of BIM adoption, #manufacturers have an opportunity to be part of the industry's evolving use of BIM and gain a competitive advantage by providing high quality, 'project-ready' BIM content libraries. Poorly made BIM content not only reflects poorly on a manufacturer's ability to meet client needs, but also undermines the commitment to quality associated with their brand and products. A lot of the time this comes down to trusting the wrong people / companies to do the work. But although designers don't expect manufacturers to be BIM experts or to develop their own content, they do expect you to do your homework and engage a reputable partner. 💭 Remember, BIM content is a product in itself, and quality matters. Your BIM content is a reflection of your brand and your company’s dedication to excellence. ➡️ If you're a manufacturer looking to improve your BIM content and better engage with designers, contact us at IGS Group (IGS BIM Solutions) to find out how we can help. ➡️ If you are a designer searching for Revit (BIM) content created to a consistent, high-quality standard to use in your project, explore our extensive FREE collection at BIMcontent.com 😉

❓ Building Product Manufacturers: did you know the industry's most widely utilised Architectural design software #Revit is version-specific and isn't 'backwards compatible'? This means if you have content / models / families created in a current / recent version (say, 2024) they can't be used in a project model if that model is running in an earlier version? 🚫 More ⬇️ 🔄 Every year #Revit is updated to include new features, improve performance, and rectify issues. We understand the challenges of #specifiers working with different versions and trying to manage Revit content libraries accordingly. That's why our team at IGS Group (IGS BIM Solutions) collaborates with leading #manufacturers to provide their Revit content libraries in multiple versions to help streamline (or remove) the process of managing multiple versions of content on BIMcontent.com. All content on the platform is available for users to download in multiple versions of Revit and updated annually to align with the most recent versions. In addition, where new libraries are available, or if existing libraries are updated to include new products, or to remove / modify products, we notify users via email. This means specifiers can ensure their designs are aligned with the latest products and associated product data 🤲 🖥️ For BIM content creation services, BIM content marketing solutions, and BIM content strategy, reach out to IGS Group (IGS BIM Solutions). 👉 For designers / architects, visit BIMcontent.com to learn more about the BIM library hosting, BIM content platform or to start downloading our FREE BIM content. 🔌 Designers, be sure to check out and download our free Revit Plug-in at https://buff.ly/3PLWqtf
