Increase your product’s visibility where designs happen
BIM objects in Revit: Introducing the Design App
BIMobject is launching a new way for your products to become part of the architect’s daily workflow, seamlessly connected to Autodesk Revit, the industry’s most widely used BIM authoring tool.
The Design App is a desktop application that integrates directly with Revit, shortcutting the traditional download-and-import process. It allows architects and engineers to search, find, and place your BIM objects straight into their models, all without leaving their design environment.
Your products appear both on bimobject.com and inside the Design App, giving you two powerful touchpoints to reach professionals exactly when they make design choices.
What the Design App is – and what’s new
The Design App connects Revit directly to BIMobject, giving designers fast, friction-free access to manufacturer-specific BIM content. Instead of searching the web, downloading, and importing files manually, users can load Revit families and type catalogs straight into their projects, with all data hosted centrally in BIMobject’s cloud.
In short:
- Connected to Revit: Work in-context without switching tools.
- Faster placement: Insert families and type catalogs directly into models.
- Cloud-hosted content: No manual file browsing or local downloads.
- Organized libraries: Structured, searchable content used daily by designers.
- Collaboration-ready: Shared libraries make it easy for project teams to find and use your products.
- Website + App: One presence, two channels—bimobject.com and the Design App work together to maximize reach and usage.
- Seamless with yourbimobject.com presence: Keep workflows smooth from discovery to placement.
Why it matters to building product manufacturers?
The Design App puts your brand inside Revit, the heart of the architect’s workflow.
By showing up right where design decisions happen, you increase specification opportunities and make it easier for AEC professionals to choose your products.
- Be present at the moment of choice: win more spec-ins by being visible inside Revit, where designs take shape.
- Frictionless experience for AECs: free Windows download, instant setup, no manual file handling, faster adoption.
- Always findable: your content is stored in BIMobject’s organized, searchable cloud library.
- Boost collaboration: Shared libraries help project teams discover and reuse your objects across projects.
- Maintain data once: update your BIM objects in one place, changes sync across bimobject.com and the Design App.
- Maximize visibility: benefit from two powerful entry points into the architect’s workflow: the web library and the Revit-connected app.
Connected to Autodesk Revit — where design decisions happen
Revit is the world’s leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, used by architects and engineers to create coordinated 3D building models, drawings, and schedules. It’s a cornerstone of modern AEC workflows, enabling teams to design from a single, data-rich source of truth.
By integrating directly with Revit, the Design App ensures your BIM content appears at the exact moment of design choice, right inside the tools professionals use every day.
Why this matters for manufacturers:
- Mass adoption: Revit is the standard platform for architects and engineers worldwide.
- Connected workflows: Integration keeps your products relevant throughout the design and specification process.

FAQs
Does this replace our bimobject.com presence?
No. It complements it — your products live on bimobject.com and inside the Design App for maximum reach.
Do designers still download files?
The download is still possible but not mandatory. BIM objects (here as Revit families) can be loaded from our hosted database in to the projects for a more efficient workflow, teams avoiding downloads and local storage.
Which tools are supported?
The Design App supports Revit.
Is it secure?
Yes. The Design App is hosted on modern cloud infrastructure with enterprise-grade security and high availability.
