BIMobject

What do you like best?

BIMobject makes searching for a specific product pretty agile and fast. I like particularly using the 'Filter' option so I get a fast way to get to the producer or category of object I am searching for. Also being able to save objects to your own BIMboard is quite nice. It is something I didn't use in the beginning but have recently started seeing it positive sides.

What do you dislike?

I kind of dislike the BIMobject Mail. I would find it a lot more useful getting whatever kind of messages in my own personal/professional mail that I used to register in BIMobject in the first place. I also find it a bit annoying getting mails of the type 'Thank you for downloading our...' etc.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would recommend other users to always use the 'Filter' option and to always, always filter by 'File type'. I have made the mistake at first to not do it, so it has happened a few times to me having been searching for a product some time to find the one I consider 'perfect' and only to find it is available for other softwares but not for the one I needed it to be. Lesson learned!

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I am basically using BIMobjects to search for a Revit families. Since now almost all the producers that have developed their own BIM library have a connection with BIMobject I find it a lot faster to go to BIMobject, filter by the specific producer and see which of his products are available in a Revit format. The old way was going to the producer's webpage and search there directly but since a lot of producers still don't have all of there products in Revit format, but instead some yes and some only for AutoCAD, it took a lot more time.
