Last year we
re-launched our NBS National BIM Library website. We rebuilt the site from scratch and from the start our aim was to ensure that it was a digital platform that could be used on any device. This of course is good news for our
free-to-download Revit plug-in which allows users to search and browse NBS BIM content before dragging-and-dropping objects into their designs.
Rather than lots of words in this blog-post, I thought I'd just drop in ten screenshots that show how well the plug-in connects the design model with lots and lots of fantastic information from NBS.

Our plug-ins can be downloaded from our NBS National BIM Library website |

The new responsive design allows the same website to look fantastic when viewed in a thin side-panel |

As a design progresses, National BIM Library generic objects may be swapped for manufacturer objects |

Objects to the NBS Object Standard have IFC and COBie properties - these are exposed in the data grid in the plug-in |

NBS subscribers can benefit from the NBS technical guidance from their subscription that matches the selected object |

Associated NBS project specifications may be viewed - select the object and see the corresponding spec |

NBS project specification clauses may be associated from Revit system objects, families and materials |

A browse and search facility allows the user to select the corresponding clause in the specification |

When specification clause links become broken, they can be fixed using the plug-in |
The NBS plug-in is a free download for Autodesk Revit. It can be found at the website below:
