Middle Atlantic debuts 3-D rack modeling


Aug 7, 2009

August 7, 2009--Middle Atlantic Products is providing BIM (Building Information Modeling) feature-rich 3D models of its racks, cabinets, and enclosures in AutoDesk's Revit platform. Revit drawings help to identify problems resulting from objects occupying the same physical space, which in turn saves significant time and money during construction.

The Revit family files (.rfa) offered by Middle Atlantic Products have been optimized for use in Revit, and feature small file sizes and the ability to select the appropriate level of detail. Besides Revit files, Middle Atlantic Products offers a suite of system design resources and tools, including RackTools, a free layout and specification package that also exports to AutoCAD; Comprehensive CAD technical specification drawings; 3D AutoCAD files; CAD Block Library; and Visio Blocks.
