This content library focuses on Quality over quantity, featuring a range of Revit content such as plumbing fixtures, specialty equipment and lighting fixtures to name a few.
Containing IFC and COBie parameters, with a wide range of content from UK Manufacturers – this is a great site to find content.
Similar to the NBS, BIMstore creates all FREE Revit Families according to the ‘BIM Store Bible’ which is a best practice family creation guide. This standardizes things like IFC and COBie parameters, meaning they contain a lot of data which is useful for interoperability.Īnother great site from the UK. You can find a whole range of different families, both manufacturer specific and generic. The UK has been leading the way in BIM adoption and standards, and therefore all families available have been created to the NBS BIM Object Standard. In my opinion, this is one of the best sites to find FREE Revit Families. A helpful feature is you can search by Country, so you can find families that are relevant to your location/market. Well worth signing up for!Īnother BIM Library with a huge range, you can find manufacturer specific content, as well as User created generic content. On top of that is MyBIMsmith which features free, private cloud storage for any of these families so you can save your favorite families or configurations and come back to download them later. They also have a cool tool called BIMsmith Forge, which helps you create flooring, wall, ceiling, and roof assemblies layer-by-layer that can then be downloaded as a system (real cool!). There is a good mix of products, but generally centered around Architectural families (lots of furniture, lighting, appliances etc.) which makes sense as the site and content is created by former architects. Please check them out for yourself and let me know which ones you found the best.īIMsmith is a great online resource with lots of Free Revit families to download. Although they are numbered from 1 to 22, this is not a ‘rank’ list. In this blog post, I have compiled a list of popular BIM and Revit online libraries offering FREE content for you to download. It can be hard to tell how a Family has been made, and how it will behave when brought into your model. A lot of Free Revit Families are Hit and miss, some are good, some are bad, and some are just plain crap! So beware of the families you download, you may end up spending significant time getting them up to your own standards. A lot of the content available is manufacturer specific, meaning you can integrate ‘real-life’ products into your projects at an earlier stage, saving you modelling time and therefore $money$.īut there is a catch – Not all content is created equal. They can help you save time and dramatically increase your model options by downloading ready made content. This is where online libraries can be so valuable.
Most of us work to tight deadlines and don’t have the required free hours in the day to build up our own Revit library. But creating families from scratch requires: a) Family creation knowledge
We all need good content to populate our models, and if they are Free then even better! Sure the out-the-box Revit families do a great job, and of course we can always make our own. Looking to download FREE Revit Families? Start here:
