Geberit BIM Plug-in BIM content for simple MEP planning
Architects and sanitary engineers face numerous challenges in digital planning with BIM objects. These include the time-consuming search for the correct data, and dealing with large volumes of outdated or incorrect BIM content.
With the Geberit BIM Plug-in, Geberit is offering an innovative solution for the digital planning of technical building systems (MEP: mechanical, electrical and plumbing).
The Geberit BIM Plug-in application for Autodesk® Revit® seamlessly combines the calculation tool for installation systems and Geberit Pluvia in a single integrated solution. The Geberit BIM Plug-in makes MEP planning easier and more efficient.
Why use the Geberit BIM Plug-in?
Reduced data saves computer capacity and makes planning efficient.
For public tenders, the data can be converted to generic designations with a single click.
The BIM content in the catalogue is always up-to-date and specific to the selected market.
Practical functions to support detailed planning and prefabrication planning.
Easy sanitary room planning with BIM content for Autodesk® Revit®
Planning a sanitary room is as easy as can be with the Geberit BIM Plug-in – from the installation phase to the finished bathroom. In terms of functionality and product range, it is a comprehensive planning and calculation tool.
The integration of ceramic products and bathroom furniture facilitates a holistic approach from architecture to MEP planning and interior design.
Sophisticated functions facilitate efficient, model-based prefabrication with the greatest possible degree of freedom when it comes to the arrangement of the components to be prefabricated.
For public projects where manufacturer-neutral documents are required, the Geberit BIM Plug-in offers the option of hiding the manufacturer-specific information with a single click.
Available modules
The Geberit BIM Plug-in offers four modules to support professionals in digital MEP planning. These functionalities are provided directly via Autodesk Revit.
The Geberit BIM Plug-in is automatically installed in the correct program folder after it has been downloaded. When you restart the Revit application, the Geberit BIM Plug-in is displayed on the “Add-ins” tab and can be opened there.
Catalogue module: Direct access to BIM content of Geberit products
Installation Systems module: Planning of Geberit Duofix, GIS and Kombifix
Pluvia module: Calculation and dimensioning of roof drainage
Wizard module: Helpful functions for planning and prefabrication
Characteristics of BIM content Lightweight data for Autodesk Revit
The application must be straightforward, reliable and as practical as possible. This is why Geberit follows its own high BIM content standard, which leaves all options open. Benefit from the following special features of our BIM content:
High information density with easy-to-use geometry
The geometric complexity of the BIM content (Revit) of Geberit products is significantly reduced to save computer and software resources and facilitate efficient workflows.
Content is always up-to-date
The direct connection to the Geberit product information management system (PIM system) ensures that the content is always up-to-date.
Simple switch to generic designations
For public tenders, Geberit BIM content can be changed to generic designations with a single click in the built-in parameters. Once the tender is over, this setting can be reset so that the time-consuming replacement of objects in the BIM model is no longer necessary. This saves sanitary engineers a lot of time.
Data available for offline planning
Those who cannot or are not allowed to work with digital tools have the option of downloading the BIM content of the individual products in the Geberit online catalogue.
Latest updates for the Geberit BIM Plug-in
The Geberit BIM Plug-in is constantly being expanded and improved. A new release is available twice a year – in April and October. Find out about the optimisations of the latest versions:
