Following consultation with customers and business partners, Precision has created Revit versions of all its models. Revit files for the standard base models are available in the download area of the Precision website, on CESABIM and SPECIFI.
However, Precision’s highly flexible product line can be configured to meet customers’ specific requirements – and the company wanted its Revit BIM files to be able to reflect this. “There are over 12,000 different standard configurations in our product range,” says Nick Williams, managing director of Precision. “Most consultants, designers and operators planning their kitchen use a variant rather than a standard product. We wanted them to be able use a BIM file of the specific variation they need – so we created a tool that allows them to do exactly that.”
Precision’s Revit Configurator allows customers to easily build the precise refrigeration model they want and produce the .rfa file that can then be used in a project. For example, a standard four-door counter might have two doors replaced by a bank of two drawers and one of three drawers.
The Configurator is available to download from the Precision website, along with Revit files for the company’s standard models.
Winning format
Precision has produced a video showing how to use the Configurator. It is available to view on the Precision website.
“After some initial confusion in the market, in terms of what BIM software people preferred, it’s clear that Revit is the winning format,” says Nick. “That said, the vast majority of customers are still using CAD over BIM, so our models are also still available in DWG format.
“We believe that our Revit Configurator will encourage the move to BIM and ups the ante in terms of flexibility in BIM modelling.”
