dormakaba Enhances Portfolio On Industry-Preferred Building Information Modeling Platform

July 28, 2017
Provides Design Community With Expanded Access to “4D” Product Data

July 28, 2017 Reamstown, Pa.—dormakaba, a leading provider of products, solutions, and services for secure access to buildings, has expanded and enhanced its catalog of building information modeling (BIM) objects found on the cloud-based platform, bimobject.com.

dormakaba has been invested in providing BIM content to the design community and most recently enhanced its dormakaba Americas library of products on bimobject.com. Users can access more robust representations of dormakaba door hardware, interior glass systems, and entrance systems product lines via the leading BIM content provider worldwide.

According to Rick Ruppert, Manager, Architectural Services at dormakaba, “We’ve released a whole new generation of BIM objects, cohesive with the complete dormakaba portfolio, and created with the highest standards of protocol for BIM families. The objects in our bimobject.com showroom are light and nimble in data intensity, but fully comprehensive in their graphic content, making them faster to view, manage, and regenerate.”

Within the BIMobject® platform, dormakaba has launched 16 new showcases that contain Revit downloads, product information, links to specifications, and other defining data. dormakaba’s BIM showroom will continue to expand as the company adds more opening solutions. dormakaba objects on bimobjects.com allow for three-dimensional views with an embedded 4D element—non-graphic, intelligent data. This data might include the product’s materials content, place of manufacture, sustainability or LEED information, specifications, and related links.

“dormakaba has created its BIM content to maintain a superior balance of providing essential physical information within the graphic component and providing other details in the on-demand non-graphic realm,” explained Ruppert. “The process has been both art and science—and well worth the effort. It allows for the generation of complete and accurate models quickly because our objects don’t weigh down the system by being too data-heavy.”

Other advantages when employing dormakaba objects found on bimobject.com include:

• Ability to select accurately represented products and systems during the early design phase that carry through to construction drawings.

• Instant access to a product’s dimensions, materials, etc., and web-links to detailed product data.

• Access to information relative to sustainability.

• Ability to generate 2D and 3D views of products.

• Ability to create photoreal images of building design.

• Availability of dormakaba specification writing services to assist architects while generating a model and selecting dormakaba objects.
