Why BIM

Industry adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is rapidly accelerating, driving enhanced visualization, simulation and performance analysis capabilities. By making Autodesk Revit (BIM) models of your products available to designers through Autodesk Seek, you can unlock the value in your product information assets and greatly improve your return on marketing investment. With BIM, designers can make faster decisions, better document projects, and evaluate sustainable building and infrastructure design alternatives using analysis to predict performance characteristics before breaking ground.

Autodesk Seek indexes and categorizes content from a wide variety of sources including data from content aggregator partners, your product libraries, and existing Revit and AutoCAD building product libraries.

Building information modeling (BIM) is an integrated process built on coordinated, reliable information about a project from design through construction and into operations. With Building Information Modeling (BIM), designers now work collaboratively using models created from consistent, reliable design information - your product information assets. By adopting BIM, architects, engineers, contractors, and owners can easily:

• Create coordinated digital design information and documentation.
• Use that information to more accurately visualize, simulate, and analyze performance, appearance, and cost.
• Deliver the project faster, more economically, and with the potential for reduced environmental impact.
