Filtering
When searching for products, there is an option to use a filter on the left-hand side, so your results only include listings with BIM objects available. This section can also be used to filter by the software platform, and objects that achieve the NBS BIM object standard.
BIM object Standard Stamps mark digital objects that have been created by the BIM team at NBS, identifying a higher level of authoring that is consistent with the product data published on manufacturers’ NBS Source profile. It allows for greater confidence and ease when specifying products in a three-dimensional model and then in a written specification, due to data consistency and therefore its compliance with ‘Golden Thread’.
