InPro Corp., a Muskego-based manufacturer of door and wall protection, decorative surfaces, expansion joint systems, cubicle track and privacy curtains and signage for the health care, senior living, hospitality, education, government, marine and retail sectors, recently launched an online library of its Building Information Modeling (BIM) objects for architects and designers.
The company’s BIM library is compatible with all three major BIM software platforms: Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft ArchiCAD, and Bentley.
Architects and contractors are now able to download BIM objects for InPro’s interior wall and door protection products, privacy curtain and cubicle track systems, interior signage, expansion joint systems, and vanity and countertops. InPro’s BIM library will be accessed through the company’s website www.inprocorp.com/bimready, the Autodesk Seek search engine, the Sweets database and on CADdetails.com.
To meet the needs of architects and contractors, InPro will produce two levels of BIM object sophistication.
“In planning our BIM library, we consulted with several architects and contractors to determine how they use the objects,” said Larry Dronek, vice president of marketing for InPro. “They told us they don’t like BIM objects that are too complex or ‘loaded,’ which slows their system performance. But, they do want significant detail available when the more-advanced design stages call for it.”
