Working with our partner ARCAT, a major publisher of building products information, ARCAT has developed and posted on their site, data rich AutoDesk Revit BIM objects for Amweld. These BIM objects can be downloaded from ARCAT.com for free. http://www.arcat.com/bim/divs/08-08110.shtml In addition to creating accurate graphics, ARCAT and Amweld have added appropriate product data to each object, saving architects and engineers a significant amount of time doing data entry and product research. In addition to product information, ARCAT has embedded links in the objects to Amweld’s CSI 3-Part Specs.
