New BIM technology partnership

Editorial Type: News     Date: 09-2015    Views: 3054      




Nemetschek Vectorworks and BIMobject AB have signed a cooperation agreement to support each other's BIM technology in order to better accommodate the needs of the AEC industry

"We joined forces with BIMobject to deliver a streamlined way for Vectorworks designers to access up-to-date, manufacturer-approved BIM content," said Robert Anderson, vice president of integrated practice at Nemetschek Vectorworks. "Our partnership supports our desire to provide increased access to building material and product specifications that live in a building information model - valuable data that decission-makers involved with the design, construction and maintenance of a building need to be successful."

As part of the agreement, BIMobject will host Vectorworks native file formats in its cloud-based web portal on BIMobject.com. In addition, BIMobject and Nemetschek Vectorworks will collaboratively assist manufacturers with developing BIM objects for Vectorworks software users worldwide. A BIM object is a detailed piece of information that defines a products geometry and represents its physical characteristics. More than half a million users around the world are using Vectorworks software, and this user community will be significant contributors to the BIMobject Cloud platform.

BIMobject and Nemetschek Vectorworks will build up an initial set of manufacturers objects, including preexisting BIMobject content. All of these BIM objects will also be available and distributed by Nemetschek Vectorworks through a multivendor private cloud, offered with the support of BIMobject Cloud solutions. There are also future plans for developing tighter integration and enhanced collaboration.
