ARCHICAD Library

About our Revit content:

  • Created by industry leaders ‘IGS BIM Solutions’, primarily using ANZRS guidelines
  • All geometry created 100% natively in Revit
  • Consideration given to file size (generally 300 - 400kb) and model performance
  • Incorporated ‘Levels of Detail’ (coarse, medium, fine)
  • Consideration given to ‘best practice’ in using Reference Planes, Subcategories, Masking Regions, Materials etc.
  • Families are non-hosted (can be converted to face-based if preferred)
  • Families have appropriate meta-data to populate fixtures schedules
  • Created in Revit 2014 and compatible with later versions
