With Building Information Modelling (BIM) an increasingly important aspect of the planning and implementation of construction projects, the Rockpanel Group now provides BIM data files for the full range of its sustainable façade panels.
Compatible with Revit and ArchiCAD, and downloadable via www.rockpanel.com, the files were developed in partnership with BIMobject, ‘Europe’s fastest-growing digital content management system for BIM objects’.
“BIM is a totally new way of working; the next step in the digitalisation of planning and modelling,” explained Pascal Kabo, project leader and technical service manager of the Rockpanel Group. “BIM creates the basis for a new understanding of architecture and construction, facilitating the involvement of all experts in the planning process, and helping to produce a detailed, three-dimensional display of a design. For us, the important thing was to offer a pan-European solution, and to support leading planners who already rely on BIM. Accordingly, the data files on all façade panels are supplied on one Europe-wide platform.”
All Rockpanel products have been keyed in for BIM, in all available surfaces, and giving specific product details such as size, colour, and material.
