ELKHART, IN — NIBCO INC., a US manufacturer of valves, fittings, and flow-control products, recently updated its BIM models to improve functionality across the Autodesk® Revit® platform.
To better integrate with Autodesk® Revit™, NIBCO converted its valve CAD models to a leaner file that is compatible with Fabrication CADmep™ toolset. It also repositioned its connector points to improve fabrication spooling accuracy.
