BIM content: worrying trend


Recommended Posts

If you do a search on BIMstop they have 660 items:

Of those 394 are in Revit format

326 are in ArchiCAD format

35 in Vectorworks

1 in IFC format.

On the UK's National BIM Library you can't search by CAD vendor but a browse through shows that, while they're all in IFC format, everything is also in Revit format, with the occasional items in Vectorworks format.

Even, for instance, partitions, which have a perfectly good parametric tool in VW are not available in Vectorworks format:
