Wenger | J.R. Clancy: There’s a reason why the industry loves Building Information Modeling – or “BIM.” This integrated design and construction process brings multiple trades together to ensure every component fits seamlessly before the build even begins. We’re pleased to continue being part of this innovative process and have started rolling out brand new Wenger Revit family models to add to this dynamic resource catalog.

This article actually has far less to do with innovative spaces and is more of a showcase of how Wenger/JRClancy use Revit. Not necessarily bad information, but perhaps it is a bit of a misleading title. The article itself discusses the benefits of using a Building Information Model (BIM) software to streamline the permanent install design process, which is certainly useful information. As Kevin likes to say, "If it works in CAD it will work". While that may be an oversimplification, it has a very true sentiment: drawing it up will massively reduce issues. In Revit, you have the added benefit of having both 2D and 3D visualizations, similar to how we can design custom 2D symbols in Vectorworks for 3D objects. I've seen this used a lot in the general construction industry, particularly in architecture, where you can draw up a floorplan with doors, windows, arches, and more on a 2D paper and then voilà! You have a 3D model. This clearly makes sense in the permanent install world that Wenger/JRClancy works in, but in our scenery world we do so many custom jobs we wouldn't really benefit from some of these features. But who knows! I haven't really used these products to dismiss them so quickly, but considering most scene shops use AutoCAD, Vectorworks, Inventor, or Solidworks tells me something...
