bimproject.cloud

bimproject.cloud Add-on connects your Archicad project to a construction product data platform. Instead of working with static object libraries, you specify products using structured data and insert the results directly into your Archicad BIM model.

Overview

The Add-on links Archicad to bimproject.cloud, where you create specifications and turn them into BIM objects. You can specify any construction product — define its requirements, insert it into your model, and the requirements become properties on the element. No manufacturer data is needed to start. When you want to match your specification against real products, the platform's manufacturer catalogs are there, but the specification itself is already a fully functional BIM object.

Key Capabilities

• Create a BIM object for any construction product by defining its technical requirements — even before choosing a specific manufacturer. When you are ready, browse manufacturer catalogs and assign a real product to your specification; the BIM object updates without changing your model workflow.

• Use the 3D configurator for products that require dimensional calculations, such as blinds or doors.

• Manufacturer data on the platform is maintained and up to date, so you always work with current product information — not a static file downloaded years ago.

Who it's for?

Architects and designers specifying construction products during the design stage. BIM managers who need consistent, structured product data across projects. Design teams working with multiple manufacturers who want one place to search, compare, and specify products.

Typical workflows

An architect designing a facade selects exterior blinds from a manufacturer catalog and configures dimensions and options in the 3D configurator. The configurator calculates packet height and final dimensions based on the opening dimensions — critical for avoiding fit issues on site. The result is inserted as a native GDL object into the Archicad model. A BIM manager reviewing a project updates product specifications with current manufacturer data and verifies that IFC properties are correctly assigned before handover.
