Reed Construction Data releases SmartBIM Library 3.0

On Monday, September 15, Reed Construction Data launched SmartBIM Library™ 3.0, the newest version of the company’s BIM content management software.

SmartBIM Library is an add-on to Autodesk® Revit® that enables users to (1) store, organize and locate BIM objects and (2) streamline design workflow and share libraries of BIM objects.

Version 3.0 offers users better navigation, object management and search functionality.

New features allow the user to:

• open multiple libraries and merge content between libraries;

• identify objects using custom object tags; and

• sort content by family, type, properties or object tag.

“SmartBIM’s unique desktop application puts thousands of high-quality BIM objects at the architects’ fingertips and allows for greater efficiency in the design process.” said Candice Dobra, director of BIM solutions, Reed Construction Data.

Version 3.0 is pre-loaded with over 14,000 high-quality Revit family types, which meet the highest quality standards in the industry.

Automatic content updates deliver new Revit families directly to the users’s desktops as soon as they are available and automatic software updates ensure users have the most up-to-date software features.

Revit customers who already have a collection of BIM objects can use the Family Content Publisher plug-in, which generates libraries for existing Revit objects. As with previous versions, productivity is maximized by dragging objects from the SmartBIM Library Manager directly into Revit.

SmartBIM Library 3.0 is available through authorized SmartBIM solution providers. For more information, visit the SmartBIM Library page on Reed Construction Data’s web site.
