CPI Releases 189 BIM Product Model Drawings
for Autodesk® Revit®
WESTLAKE VILLAGE,
California, US – January 2011 - Chatsworth Products, Inc. (CPI),
a global manufacturer providing voice, data and security products and service
solutions that optimize, store and secure technology equipment now offers
drawings for Building Information Modeling (BIM). CPI’s vast library of design
tools now includes a free, expansive suite of 189 BIM Product Model Drawings
developed professionally to assist customers with projects utilizing Autodesk®
Revit® software. CPI’s continuously growing selection will give customers the
design tools needed to create a dynamic and flawless layout.
BIM is an integrated process for digitally exploring a
project’s key physical and functional characteristics before it is actually
built. By utilizing three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling
software, productivity is increased in building design and construction. BIM
improves understanding, allows for predictable outcomes and facilitates a fast
and economic delivery, all while minimizing environmental impact. This process
provides accurate documentation, earlier decision-making and the ability to
evaluate alternatives for sustainable design or improvements by utilizing
analysis before the initial stages of construction.
CPI offers more BIM drawings than other IT infrastructure
providers in the following major product families: Cable Runway and Tray
Products, Cable Management Products, Rack Systems, Cabinet and Enclosure Systems
and Wall-Mount Systems. Over 80 percent of CPI’s major products are included in
the BIM software, with more being added by the end of January 2011. CPI will
continue to expand its BIM library as new products become available. BIM Product
Model Drawings will be provided on a CD which includes a unique tracking number,
allowing CPI to verify what edition individual customers possess ensuring
requests for updates are quickly delivered via e-mail. To ensure quick and easy
ordering, a spreadsheet for Microsoft Excel will be included with the CD
allowing a list to be generated identifying major products and part numbers that
are selected in the design process.
CPI’s BIM Product Model Drawings are custom made with
information specific to each customer’s needs, ensuring they will receive the
latest edition as soon as they are made available. For a free copy of CPI’s BIM
Product Model Drawings, stop by booth 419 at the BICSI Winter Conference and
