Dextra Group plc. is pleased to announce the availability of their range of luminaire 3D Revit models for download. The files are specially created for use within Building Information Modelling (BIM), a shared resource which displays the overall characteristics of the design of a building.
BIM format assists designers and architects in the design of buildings along with their core components displayed in 3-dimensional formats. Revit 3D modelling softwareBIM assists with the streamlining of workflow processes and eliminates the risk of the clashing of components of other services (structural, electrical etc.) within proposed building plans.
Revit is 3D building information modelling software used by a host of professionals including architects, structural engineers and contractors. The use of the Revit 3D-modelling software program is an effective way for Dextra Group to ensure their positioning of lighting doesn’t clash with the design plans of other services, an invaluable tool within the architectural and design industries.
An array of Revit files displaying the luminaires from Dextra Group will assist designers and architects when designing buildings.
Having Dextra Group’s Revit files readily available assists the BIM process and enables the user access to the relevant information to help decide on the suitability of various luminaires within design projects.
Dextra Group staff are delighted to be abreast of the latest technological developments within design. A Dextra Group spokesperson said: “The design process for buildings as a whole is changing fast. The project managers of future buildings will already be looking to implement the BIM process into new projects.”
Revit enables architects to see a full model in both vertical and horizontal forms, something that has not been possible through use of Computer Aided Design (CAD). The benefits of Revit have prompted the architectural industry to aim to adopt the popular 3D modelling software throughout the entire industry.
Dextra Group have recognised this shift towards the use of BIM and Revit files within design industries and that these files will form a significant part of future design processes. Dextra Group want to ensure that through readily available files, the process is simplified.
Calculations can also be performed within most lighting design software packages through the full range of IESNA and Eulumdat file formats also being available.
Dextra Group products are also available within both Relux and Dialux software packages allowing calculations to be performed alongside the BIM environment.
