Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an increasingly important aspect of the planning and implementation of construction projects. In order to help with this process, the ROCKPANEL Group in cooperation with BIMobject® now provides BIM data files for the full range of its sustainable façade panels, which specifiers can freely access and insert into digital building models. Visitors to the BAU fair in Munich are able to consult tutorials on how to use the BIM data files. BIMobject(®) is Europe's fastest growing digital content management system for BIM objects. By downloading the ROCKPANEL BIM objects, planners automatically have access to all up-to-date, technically relevant data, such as the available surfaces or the specific product details such as size, colour and materiality. The 3D models are compatible with Revit and ArchiCAD and can be downloaded via www.rockpanel.com and on the BIMobject® portal via: http://bimobject.com/product/?manufacturer=Rockpanel "BIM is a totally new way of working, the next step in the digitalisation of planning and modeling. BIM creates the basis for a new understanding of architecture and construction, in that it facilitates the involvement of all experts in the planning process and helps produce a detailed, three-dimensional display of a design. For the ROCKPANEL Group, 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, contributing towards improving communication among all those involved in the construction sector. This service supports architects in the planning process, facilitates decision-making and, as a result, can make construction less expensive and safer.", explains Pascal Kabo, Project Leader and Technical Service Manager of the ROCKPANEL Group. "The ROCKPANEL Group is the global market leader of stone wool products and systems. The cooperation with the ROCKPANEL Group is another important milestone for BIMobject®, showing us that we are on the right way to become the natural choice when it comes to digital content management systems.
