Ecophon releases comprehensive BIM object product range 

Saint-Gobain Ecophon has released one of the most complete product ranges on bimobject.com for both Revit and ArchiCAD. This means that around 50 ceiling systems are now available on Ecophon BIM Portal, BIMobject.com and in BIMobject Apps for Revit and ArchiCAD.

The objects are fully customizable regarding e.g. size options according to the Ecophon´s ceiling systems. This will help users to efficiently plan and implement ceiling solutions in different projects. 

The Revit versions provide installation details and transition drawings.

The ArchiCAD versions allow the users to manually adjust and configure the entire ceiling structure. The ArchiCAD objects contain a link to the correct M sketch for each ceiling solution, and also offers placement of hangers. This to help the user placing pipes and electrical connections above the ceiling.

Within the BIM objects, the users will have access to all necessary information such as:

  • sound absorption classes
  • CO2 emissions
  • links to documentation 

A bill of material can also be generated in the BIM software, which makes it easier to optimise, to reduce waste and to get the best solution for the project.
