Building Information Modelling (BIM) Plugins
Hyne Timber is proud to be the first glue laminated timber (GLT) manufacturer in Australia to provide Building Information Modelling (BIM) plugins for Australian graded GLT in Autodesk Revit® and ArchiCAD.
Overview
Revit® software users can now access the Hyne Timber 'GLT Families' for designs incorporating Australian graded, independently certified GLT products for their timber projects while ensuring product specifications are accurate and reliable.
The GLT BIM library consists of Beam 21 and LGL, available in beam and column families. It contains all product details from dimensions, mass and volume, down to the colour and texture of GLT which can be brought into 3D model. GLT BIM content also provides reassurance to the end user that materials are compliant, certified, and sustainably sourced from within Australia.
