ABL BIM Blog

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve released version 1.0 of the ABL 3D Models. Visit the download page to select either the Revit family files or the DWG files.

The starter set contains about 50 models and covers a cross-section of our most popular products. We’ve provided the models as Revit family files and as generic 3D DWG models. Each model contains data about the product, including photometric data, links to spec sheets, and optical and electrical information.

We view this release as a beta version. Please let us know what you think of them, and how we can make our models even more useful to your efforts. We plan to regularly update this set and release additional models. To get the latest news, subscribe to our news feed.

Welcome to Acuity Brands Lighting’s BIM Blog. We’ve established this site to facilitate a conversation with architects, designers, engineers and others who are interesting in shaping how building information modeling affects the construction process.

In the beginning, our main efforts will focus on creating 3D models of Acuity Brands’ products for AEC professionals to use in their projects. We’re working on a starter set of models now and expect to release a beta version shortly.
