According to the company, the new version will add new features and enhancements including the drag-and-drop family publisher, allowing users to automatically publish and load Revit families into SmartBIM Library from a user’s file system, Autodesk Revit project files or Autodesk Seek.
Additional functionality will allow users to attach files, including text documents, spreadsheets and images, to SmartBIM Objects using the drag-and-drop feature, and to view them from the attachment pane.
The company claims that version 3.2 will come pre-loaded with over 16,000 high-quality Revit product types, including 200 new generic families.
SBL v3.2 will still include many of the current features including automatic content updates that deliver new Revit families directly to the users’ desktops, automatic software updates to ensure users have the most up-to-date software features and drag-and-drop functionality that allows users to drag objects from SmartBIM Library directly into Revit.
Candice Dobra, director of BIM solutions at Reed Construction Data, said: This release will give Revit users a way to significantly reduce the time spent looking for or creating building information modeling (BIM) objects. The high-quality SmartBIM objects delivered in SmartBIM Library combined with the ability to easily manage existing content, bring a new level of efficiency in the design process.
