Global CAD/BIM design software developer Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc., a part of The Nemetschek Group in Germany, and BIMobject AB, announced at the end of August that they signed a cooperation agreement.

“We joined forces with BIMobject to deliver a streamlined way for Vectorworks designers to access up-to-date, manufacturer-approved BIM content,” said Robert Anderson, vice president of integrated practice at Nemetschek Vectorworks. “Our partnership supports our desire to provide increased access to building material and product specifications that live in a building information model – valuable data that decision-makers involved with the design, construction and maintenance of a building need to be successful.”

BIMobject® will now support Vectorworks native file formats

As part of the agreement, BIMobject® will host Vectorworks native file formats in its cloud-based web portal on BIMobject.com. A BIM object is a detailed piece of information that defines a product’s geometry and represents its physical characteristics. More than half a million users around the world are using Vectorworks software, and this user community will be significant contributors to the BIMobject® Cloud platform. BIMobject and Nemetschek Vectorworks will together build up an initial set of manufacturers objects, including pre-existing BIMobject content. All of these BIM objects will also be available and distributed by Nemetschek Vectorworks through a multivendor private cloud, offered with the support of BIMobject® Cloud solutions.

01 - With this agreement BIMobjects now supports all the major BIM platforms in AEC, adding Vectorworks to its BIM platform list. This past summer BIMobjects announced that 85 of the largest 100 architecture firms now are using BIMobject Cloud.

“This partnership is meaningful as we’ve seen a huge demand from Vectorworks users over the last year for content from our BIMobject Cloud portfolio,” said Stefan Larsson, CEO and founder of BIMobject AB. “For our building product manufacturers, this completes our offering across BIM platforms and delivers a significant user base dedicated to the Vectorworks platform that will benefit in additional business and customer satisfaction. Now, we’ll do our best together to get the solutions done as quickly as possible to meet user demand.”

There are also future plans for developing tighter integration and enhanced collaboration between Vectorworks software and BIMobject’s cloud platform.
