Solibri is founded on the concept of Open BIM. Solibri Office can import building models from all major BIM software products by using the standardized IFC interface. Solibri finds the problems and helps to solve them so they don't become issues later on. We don't only point out the problems that could appear at the construction phase. We also point out the other areas that can become a problem once the building is at use. Solibri’s quality checking is based on both pre-defined and customizable rules, out of which you select which ones to use. We offer the best pre-defined rules on the market for checking not only model quality, but much more – imagine the ability to consider everything regarding, for example, the comfort of use in your newly constructed building, including details like thoroughly planned accessibility or perfectly sized and angled parking spaces.

We provide you with the information and inspiration you need to design buildings faster, smarter and greener. A world of architects and engineers rely on bimobject.com to find the right products for their designs. The transition to Building Information Modelling began to spread via “early adopters” more than ten years ago. Fast-forward to today and there are millions of active BIM users across the globe. Architects and construction engineers use BIM to create 3D models of a complete and furnished building – using software such as Revit (Autodesk) and MicroStation (Benley), as well as Graphisoft Archicad, Allplan, and Vectorworks (Nemetschek Group).

BIM and digital twins, as well as the trends towards larger projects, more sophisticated geometric shapes, greater detail development and more and more dependencies, are substantially increasing the amount of computing power required. For this reason, Allplan Engineering Civil 2021 was developed with a focus on optimum performance. Thanks to new parametric reinforcement objects and the combination of many individual work steps, Allplan 2021-1 considerably speeds up the reinforcement design of walls, beams and columns. Users can specify reinforcement rules with regards to minimum and maximum spacing, minimum diameter or permissible reinforcement ratio, and define offsets, connection reinforcement and different bracing areas. Finally, views and sections can be conveniently generated and placed. In addition, the planning of punching shear reinforcement is facilitated. Working with these parametric reinforcement objects is particularly timesaving.
