Paaaul101 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Do you know websites with BIM libraries to Vectorworks? Do you know any producers who have Vectorworks BIM libraries on their website? Quote Link to comment
line-weight Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 There are hardly any. There are very few companies which provide BIM objects in VW format and that's unlikely to change. Sad but true. Quote Link to comment
Samuel Derenboim Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Would something like that be in demand? Edited April 16, 2020 by Samuel Derenboim Quote Link to comment

Paaaul101 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Many users of Vectorworks search librarys VWX. In Poland The Bimobject created Low quality librarys in rhino (plug-in: lena) without vwx. I found A lot of websites with revit and Archicad libraries without Vectorworks. Quote Link to comment

Samuel Derenboim Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 There is a way to convert revit models into vectorworks, but it does involve quite a few steps. Bottom line is, there is a method to import an entire directory worth of revit models into VW and then modify them one by one unfortunately. Quote Link to comment

As per my question to @Wes Gardner, have you ever used the bimobject tool to import something that is then useful in a real world application? This is not a trick question; I just wonder whether anyone at VW has really tested it, in an attempt to understand whether it is actually of any use to users. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 @line-weight, honestly alot of the offerings seem to be Euro-centric so to answer your question, I think it depends on where the project's located Wes Quote Link to comment
