BIM libraries
At JUB, we placed our materials, facade systems and colour chart into an application for use in the following BIM and CAD programs: ArchiCAD, Revit, Allplan, AutoCAD and ZwCAD. The application allows you to choose the appropriate material (interior paints, adhesives, render finishes, etc.) and facade system, it contains the most common details and allows you to check the thermal conductivity and humidity condensation of the selected sandwich constructions.
AutoCAD is the only program that is not supported by BIM technology, so it needs a special colour chart import. The other programs are all BIM programs and have a colour chart as part of the application. You can find the colour chart for AutoCAD at the link below, and in addition to the colour chart for AutoCAD, there is also a colour chart for Adobe Photoshop in the e-colour shade library. BIM libraries are available for AutoCAD versions from 2014 onwards.
