Most BIM plugins available today are developed by software technology companies, which can present technical challenges when applied to real-world projects. The Baoye BIM Toolset addresses these issues effectively. Developed by Shanghai Baoye BIM, a leading BIM technology team in China, this plugin integrates insights gained from over 100 practical projects. It not only fulfills functional requirements for actual projects but also significantly accelerates modeling speed.
The Shanghai Baoye BIM Application Tool Set is a secondary development plugin written in C# based on the Revit platform. It primarily offers rapid batch modeling of common structural components and supports interaction with Revit type data, enhancing Revit’s basic modeling capabilities and enabling large-scale batch modeling.
This toolset plays a vital role in optimizing construction organization design, improving communication efficiency among clients, designers, and construction teams, and facilitating integration between construction and maintenance phases.
