Those that have signed into the library will notice that they have a personalised homepage. There are three main areas:
- The objects you have 'starred' - these are potentially the objects you use most often or the objects you have flagged to download at a later date;
- The objects you have previously downloaded that have since been updated; and
- A list of all the objects you have ever downloaded.

| A personalised homepage |
The starred objects are presented in a data grid so the objects can be easily downloaded, sorted or filtered. The screenshot below shows that the objects have been sorted so that they are grouped by the same category.
The screenshot below shows the Downloaded tab. In this screenshot the user has filtered the list of objects to show those relevant to the search term 'sanit...'.

| Your download history |
The starred and downloaded objects are a filter option for when you search. In the screenshots below the user quickly filters 681 objects relevant to
insulation down to just the 5 relevant items that have been
starred.

The NBS National BIM Library is not just a website for a desktop computer. The user experience is also optimised for mobile or tablet. It's now easy to 'star' an item when you are on your mobile (maybe on a train or at home on an evening).
 |
| Fully responsive |
Items that you have
starred are accessible from whichever device you are using. For example, you could
star an item on your mobile and then access this from the webbrowser on your desktop the next day. Another workflow example could be if you are using the
NBS Plug-in for Autodesk Revit. The screenshots below show the National BIM Library website being accessed from inside the design tool. Your favourite objects can be found quickly and then added to your model through simply dragging and dropping.
