bimCAT Library Browser
bimCAT Libraries store complete Revit Families and Family Types in .rfa and .rvt files, with all the CQD data attached, so they can be used in subsequent projects.
The bimCAT Library browser lets you open libraries, browse and import families and types, add or delete library elements, and create new libraries.
Any family type stored in a bimCAT library:
- Can be used normally by other Revit projets, just as if you had loaded them from a .rfa or .rvt file.
- Carries all the CQD information (material category, performance constraints, layers, quantities, selected EPDs) so you don't need to specify them again next time. Location, date, and material reuse information relevant to the previous project is removed.
Sharing features (across a company, office, or worldwide) are coming shortly.
When bimCAT is installed, it creates a default library with a few examples. Feel free to use or discard these. bimCAT needs at least one library to exist, so it will re-create this default library if there are no libraries present.
