BIMobject AB: BIMobject releases BIMobject® Apps as free source code
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Today, BIMobject AB (BIMobject) announces that the BIMobject(®) Apps will be
offered as free source code. To further strengthen the company's position as the
global leader in digital building products, product information, and BIM object
distribution, the company will now allow for other corporations to build Apps
for the platform BIMobject(®) Cloud using a free BIMobject source code.
Since 2012, BIMobject have built several Apps that integrate the entire
BIMobject(®) Cloud in various types of BIM software such as Trimble SketchUp,
Graphisoft ArchiCAD, and Autodesk Revit/AutoCAD. The Apps have been downloaded
and installed by users more than 150,000 times, creating full integration into
their respective BIM software. The Apps give users increased productivity by
letting them find and compare products more easily before downloading, update
and add information, as well as communicate.
The BIMobject(® )Apps are also a vital part of the platform BIMobject(®)
Hercules. Unlike the BIMobject(®) Cloud, it is aimed at large consultants,
building owners, governments, and contractors. The free source code allows these
bigger organisations further to enhance the capabilities of the Apps by adding,
removing, and modifying the features. The result is a fully customised version
of the Apps, tailored to the specific needs within a particular corporation or
organisation.
"One of our core principles here at BIMobject is scalability. The BIMobject(®)
Apps - among the most advanced BIM integration solutions - now have room for a
whole new level of growth. It will be used either internally or to add even more
value to the existing Apps functionality, pushing the envelope for integrated
digital product information", says Stefan Larsson, CEO and founder of
BIMobject.
BIMobject aims to maintain its position as the most popular BIM content platform
worldwide, serving as a Single Source of Truth for its over 550,000 registered
users and more than 1,000 hosted building product manufacturers. The company
strives to offer the most dynamic digital content services for manufacturers to
form a powerful digital strategy and deliver product information earlier in the
BIM process.
Using the BIMobject(®) Apps to connect BIM software to the BIMobject(®) Cloud
results in an unbroken flow of information and a streamlined workflow, which is
why BIMobject has invested a great deal of resources in the Apps. In recent
years, BIM software providers such as Vectorworks, Allplan, and Archline, have
received the source code as part of individual agreements in order fully to
integrate their technology with the BIMobject(®) Cloud.
Now, the strategic decision has been made to give away the source code and make
it available to more stakeholders in the BIM process, such as big design firms,
contractors, governments, and other large-scale 3(rd) party developers. This
will further strengthen BIMobject's position on the global market and broaden
the user base. Larger businesses will be able to use the Apps and the
BIMobject(®) Cloud for efficient corporate standardisation.
"Some of our competitors charge their app users. We decided to go the other way,
because we believe in making our solutions accessible and available to every
user in the global BIM community", says Stefan Larsson.
The source code will be provided upon application after a review of the
applicant's intended use, as it will not be given to any competitor or allow
usage to create a competing service. BIMobject will continue to innovate and add
features to the current Apps standard, which will coexist with the new approach
and form a complement to the developer cloud API now available for the
BIMobject(®) Cloud.

architects, designers, and engineers, who access the BIMobject(®) Cloud through
CAD/BIM-applications, apps, and web services. The BIM objects are integrated
