Geberit BIM Catalogue plug-in Frequently asked questions

The Geberit BIM Catalogue plug-in extends Geberit's existing BIM solution by facilitating the direct import of country-specific and language-specific Autodesk® Revit® families directly into the current Autodesk® Revit® project.

The direct connection to the Geberit database ensures that only up-to-date and localised BIM Autodesk® Revit® families are available, which represents a huge advantage over the conventional method of manual downloads from portals or websites.

The Geberit BIM Catalogue plug-in is installed by downloading and executing the .exe file.

The plug-in can be uninstalled at any time using the Windows uninstall routine.

You will find more information in the video.

The Geberit BIM Catalogue plug-in is compatible with the latest version and the two preceding versions of Autodesk® Revit® and can be installed on Windows 7 or 10.

The selection of the regional settings ensures that users can use only the Geberit product range available in their own regions or in their own countries. We strongly advise that users do not change the regional settings within the same project.

The Load button establishes the database connection in the background and needs to be activated once the project is opened.

The plug-in provides the user with access to the Geberit product range, based on the regional settings defined previously. The data structure displayed in the plug-in corresponds to that of the Geberit online catalogue. Click to open each level of the data structure and navigate to the desired product.

In a similar way to the Geberit online product catalogue, the products are categorised according to the following product systems:

Geberit BIM content is available in two different levels of detail: LOD 300 and LOD 400, which enable users to plan with Geberit BIM content while simultaneously fulfilling the requirements of public tenders for manufacturer-neutral BIM content.

Properties such as manufacturer name and article number can be hidden while others, such as product name and description, are replaced by generic descriptions.

More information on how to toggle between LOD 300 and LOD 400 can be seen in the video below.
