In addition to creating accurate graphics, ARCAT and Kenneth Lynch & Sons have added appropriate product data to each object, saving architects and engineers a significant amount of time doing data entry and product research. A variety of complementary items in this design include outdoor chess and picnic table sets.

ARCAT, a major publisher of building product information has developed and posted on their site, data rich AutoDesk???(R)???AE???? Revit???(R)???AE???? BIM objects for Kenneth Lynch & Sons. Anyone can use these objects at no charge. In addition to creating accurate graphics, ARCAT and Kenneth Lynch & Sons have added appropriate product data to each object, saving architects and engineers a significant amount of time doing data entry and product research.

All of the manufacturer's objects, graphics and content, are uniform and modifiable for ease of use. In addition to product information, ARCAT has embedded links in the objects to CSI 3-Part specs.

The two partners believed that high quality graphics are only the tip of the building information modeling iceberg. It is the limitless amount of information held within the model that is driving the AEC community to adopt parametric software platforms such as Revit.
