The Knotwood BIM Content Library
Knotwood has partnered with Australia’s leading BIM Content specialists IGS BIM Solutions to develop an extensive Revit and AutoCAD library which is free for designers to download from the BIMcontent.com platform, streamlining and maximising access to Architects and Building Design Professionals.
Knotwood and IGS BIM Solutions
Knotwood designs modular aluminium profiles in a range of beautiful woodgrain-effect finishes. With a growing global reputation for safe, sustainable products, we understand the importance of a comprehensive and clear specification process.
To ensure that specifiers such as architects and building design professionals have streamline access to information about Knotwood aluminium profiles and fully understand their benefits, we have collaborated with IGS BIM Solutions to create the Knotwood BIM library accessible through BIMcontent.com, through which specifiers can learn about and specify our products.
About the Knotwood BIM Content Library
The Knotwood BIM library is ‘project-ready’ and developed according to industry best practices.?
It incorporates a range of intuitive 3D models, advanced / PBR materials and 2D construction details to enable design creativity, and the creation of high-quality documentation and visualisation outputs.
A ‘Virtual Showroom’ (.RVT file) is available to efficiently download and browse the whole library, or do a QA check, as it has been pre-configured to review key quality aspects such as implementation of shaded/realistic settings, data consistency and documentation quality.
“IGS is thrilled to have developed this fantastic Revit (BIM) library for Knotwood, and to have it available to the fast-growing community of designers using the free BIMcontent.com platform. The inclusion of various Revit asset types used throughout the design and documentation process, including highly intuitive 3D content, ensures designers can save a substantial amount of time in delivering their projects when specifying Knotwood products. IGS is excited to continue collaborating with Knotwood and evolving this extensive resource in the future.”
– Luke Johnston, Managing Director at IGS Group
How Does BIMcontent.com Help Specifiers To Discover Knotwood Products?
BIMcontent.com provides a digital platform that facilitates connectivity between manufacturers like Knotwood and specifiers such as architects, interior designers, and property developers, and their contractors.
By allowing manufacturers to provide comprehensive information about their products on a free-to-use and easily accessible platform, BIMcontent.com provides specifiers with a library of information, data, and performance detail that removes ambiguity from their specification process.
Each product page contains product specification data, sustainability data, classifications, features and benefits, finishes, certifications, and more for all variants of a product.
When using the Knotwood BIM library, specifiers can easily compare products against each other. They can also specify a project by simply adding product information from BIMcontent.com directly to their specifications. Specifiers who also use BIM tools such as Autodesk Revit can easily integrate BIMcontent.com into their project workflows by adding products to specifications or 3D models.
Why a Clear Specification Is So Important
Once a product is specified, the architect or designer needs to communicate the details about the product to contractors clearly so that it can be installed or used without errors or risk. With access to the kind of detailed product information that the BIMcontent.com platform provides, specifiers can ‘cut and paste’ reliable, in-depth technical information from the product page into their project specifications to minimise risk and avoid misinterpretation.
The resulting living document is crucial for the accurate and detailed transfer of information between all contractors involved in the project.
Why Knotwood Is So Popular with Architects & Building Design Professionals
Knotwood aluminium profiles are used for cladding, soffits, fencing, balconies, ceilings, walls, and much more on buildings as an alternative to timber and other more traditional materials. Available in a range of stunning woodgrain-effect finishes, Knotwood offers many benefits to specifiers when designing building exteriors and other structures. Knotwood is:
