BIM Creator and User Community

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is, in the simplest terms, the use of computer software to automate the creation, distribution, and overall management of data about construction and infrastructure projects to support stage-by-stage decision-making during a project’s design, construction, and operation phases.
This is possible because models are created by an amalgamation of elements, surfaces, textures, objects, and non-graphical specification data (things like fire resistance rating, compressive strength of materials, etc). That way, a lot of data about the structure, including materials, components, and fixtures, can be stored in the model and used to inform every stage of the project from inception to deconstruction.
However, if you look at most BIM authoring software (such as ArchiCAD and Revit), you notice that their default libraries for objects and families do not exhaustively cover all the possible library items you would need when modelling your project. Most of the time, you receive a generic international version applicable to most English-speaking nations, but not customised for the local market. That means the exact accuracy required in a BIM project can only be achieved by creating custom models (objects, families, templates, etc.) for your visualization and interior design projects.
That custom modelling takes time. If we can free that time for you, we know you can focus your creative energy on providing the best solution for the design challenge you are solving, rather than modelling furniture items. Therefore, bimgoodies.com was created with that efficiency in mind.
We are calling on talented designers, modellers, and creators to take up the challenge. There are many products (furniture, electrical fittings, lighting fixtures, mechanical components, doors, windows, etc.) that you use constantly in your projects. If you have modelled them already, other people don’t have to. You can make them available on bimgoodies.com as digital products for others to download and use in their projects. If you like, you can charge a fee for the assets and open yourself up to a passive income stream.
Welcome to explore the BIMGOODIES marketplace today. It is a global multivendor marketplace for exchanging BIM digital resources, including objects, families, templates, plugins, addons, project files, material textures, project models, and plans – basically any digital asset that can help streamline the BIM implementation journey. It supports all software and file types, with no limitations.
