BIM-ready content available from Autodesk Seek web service has received a boost from a new deal with online building product information firm CADdetails.
Through the agreement, CADdetails product information for more than 400 building product manufacturers will now be available through the Autodesk Seek web service.
Designers can use this service to search and select building product design information directly from Autodesk design applications, including AutoCAD software and the Autodesk Revit platform for building information modeling (BIM).
"Architects and engineers need content for their BIM models so building product manufacturers that make their product information easily available to the designers can create more sales opportunities," said Jeff Wright, senior director, Autodesk Content Network. "With a powerful configuration engine and their high-quality content creation capabilities, CADdetails is a valuable addition to the Autodesk content network, and we look forward to working together to open new marketing opportunities for our customers."
Autodesk Seek customers will now have access to the powerful CADdetails configuration and selection "engine," which significantly expands access to configurable building products and helps designers define BIM-ready objects based on their design constraints and specific requirements.
