dormakaba has expanded and enhanced its catalog of building information modeling (BIM) objects found on the cloud-based platform, bimobject.com.
dormakaba has been invested in providing BIM content to the design community and has enhanced its dormakaba Americas library of products on bimobject.com. Users can access representations of dormakaba door hardware, interior glass systems, and entrance systems product lines via the BIM content provider worldwide.
According to Rick Ruppert, manager, Architectural Services at dormakaba, “We’ve released a whole new generation of BIM objects, cohesive with the complete dormakaba portfolio. The objects in our bimobject.com showroom are comprehensive in their graphic content, making them quick to view, manage, and regenerate.”
Within the BIMobject platform, dormakaba has launched 16 new showcases that contain Revit downloads, product information, links to specifications, and other defining data. dormakaba’s BIM showroom will continue to expand as the company adds more opening solutions.
dormakaba objects on bimobjects.com allow for three-dimensional views with an embedded 4D element—non-graphic, intelligent data. This data might include the product’s materials content, place of manufacture, sustainability or LEED information, specifications, and related links.
“dormakaba has created its BIM content to maintain a balance of providing essential physical information within the graphic component and providing other details in the on-demand non-graphic realm,” explains Ruppert. “The process has been both art and science. It allows for the generation of complete and accurate models because our objects don’t weigh down the system by being too data-heavy.”
Other advantages when employing dormakaba objects found on bimobject.com:
- Ability to select products and systems during the early design phase that carry through to construction drawings.
- Access to a product’s dimensions and materials and web-links to product data.
- Access to information relative to sustainability.
- Ability to generate 2D and 3D views of products.
- Ability to create photoreal images of building design.
- Availability of dormakaba specification writing services to assist architects while generating a model and selecting dormakaba objects.
“From individual door closers to complete revolving doors to operable glass wall systems and more, the families representing our products on bimobject.com cover the full spectrum of dormakaba products in a best-in-class, industry-accepted format. They address every opening within a building,” shares Ruppert.
