AUTOBIM3D: Integrating HVAC networks into a BIM model
AUTOBIM3D is part of the AUTOFLUID 10 software suite. It will allow you to generate 3D HVAC and plumbing networks, for integration into a BIM model.
In this video you will discover how to quickly edit a BIM model: - Export the 2D plans from Revit - Design in 2D in your usual CAD software, and generate the 3D networks - Import the 3D networks into Revit.
AUTOBIM3D manages floor connections. It will soon allow export to IFC and/or Revit native entities. AUTOBIM3D's built-in options will also let you quickly recreate a 3D architectural environment into your CAD software, and generate 3D views snapshots to enrich your 2D layouts. The software shown in this video was used for example purposes: AUTOFLUID has several other compatibilities.
