A. O. Smith Water Products Co. offers 3-D models for specifying engineers via Revit.
Water Products Co. is the first in the water heater
industry to offer specifying engineers and architects complete access to 3-D
BIM of its commercial water heater and boiler products with Autodesk Revit software. By visiting the company’s website, specifying engineers can download
the 3-D Revit models to be inserted into their building model or drawings.
Each Revit
product family file allows the selection of the individual model and its associated
database of critical installation information. Now, specifying engineers can
easily integrate an A. O. Smith product into their building designs. Future
plans include making the A. O. Smith files available from the Autodesk “Seek
Site” where product models can be directly accessed from within the Revit
program.
Revit
models are currently available for the Cyclone Xi (BTH), VF Boiler (VW / VB),
Master-Fit (BTR), and the Gold Series (DRE) product families. Engineers simply
open the file on the website, and then choose the model they want to specify.
