EQUITONE facade materials as groundbreaking BIM objects

The EQUITONE series of BIM objects available from today on are: natura, tectiva, pictura and textura. The objects offer a full facade design solution including complete facade support frames. As in the real product, frame alternatives are all integrated to give architects ful flexibility to design with one system of choice.

Cement, cellulose and mineral materials, reinforced by a visible matrix. Nothing else. EQUITONE fibre cement is a natural composite material that proudly shows its authentic personality. EQUITONE fibre cement exists in very large sheets(up to 3.10m x 1.25m) that are very thin yet have outstanding physical properties. Visible and invisible fixing methods include riveting, screwing and bonding on metal or wood supporting frames.

It is just great to offer architects such efficient time saving design tools as with the EQUITONE BIM objects. The objects reflect the visual attributes of the real product and include the technical features needed. The complete systems for ArchiCAD and Revit will save many hours and due to the design, the objects are applicable in all phases of the design process, said Ben O’Donnell, CTO at BIMobject.
