SmartBIM Library

SmartBIM Library 3.0 To effectively and efficiently use Revit you must have SmartBIM Objects: high quality models of doors, windows, equipment, etc. SmartBIM LibraryTM caters to firms using Autodesk Revit and addresses Revit content management problems encountered by design firms.

Currently, the Windows file system is the predominant tool for organizing and finding Revit families. SmartBIM Library (SBL) is a companion product to Revit, and can assist the user with organizing, managing and locating BIM content. It will also allow you to generate libraries from your Revit families.

BIM Content

SmartBIM Library ships with a library of Revit families developed by Reed Construction Data. These parametric family models are designed for re-use across projects, design representation and ‘countability' for quantity take-off. The "Reed" icon appears in the library thumbnail for each Revit family developed by Reed Construction Data. You will have the option to receive regular updates and additions of generic and manufacturer specific content developed by Reed Construction Data. Additionally, content can be delivered on-demand by special agreement.
