NIBCO, a U.S. manufacturer of valves, fittings, and flow-control products, recently updated its BIM models to improve functionality across the Autodesk Revit platform.
To better integrate with Autodesk Revit, NIBCO converted its valve CAD models to a leaner file that is compatible with Fabrication CADmep toolset. It also repositioned its connector points to improve fabrication spooling accuracy.
“These updates help us deliver the capable content our users request,” explains David Bobo, senior director, product engineering. “The ability to deliver lightweight and fully functional BIM files from our live database sets us apart from our competition who rely on pre-created Revit® files that may be years out of date.”
For easy accessibility, NIBCO has created an e-catalog so customers can access dynamically generated 2D and 3D CAD files for more than 11,000 common product SKUs in more than 25 formats including Revit and CADmep. NIBCO’s master library of critical geometry and specifications includes more than 150 product families.
