DigiPara Elevatorarchitect for Autodesk Revit now available in Autodesk Exchange Apps Store

We have launched our DigiPara Elevatorarchitect plug-in on the Autodesk Exchange Apps store for Autodesk Revit software.

Download now: http://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/Elevatorarchitect

The Autodesk Exchange Apps store is a portal to the Autodesk Revit software ecosystem, providing access to add-ins that allow designers to find and immediately download solutions to some of their more pressing design challenges, specifically for designing 3D elevator BIM models. The Autodesk Exchange Apps store was recently expanded to include apps for products including Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Revit. Customers are now able to access The Autodesk Exchange Apps store both directly on the Web and from within Autodesk products.

Our DigiPara Elevatorarchitect app greatly improves the designer process by creating complex elevator groups within seconds. From within the Autodesk Revit environment, DigiPara Elevatorarchitect guides Autodesk Revit user in finding the correct size elevators and professionally guiding them to the point of reaching an optimal 3D Autodesk Revit model. Free optimized families, which include all types of elevators (hydraulic, roped-hydraulic and traction, with and without machine room) allow Autodesk Revit users to create complex elevator groups within seconds. By exploring the key physical and functional BIM characteristics, all elevator data are instantly illustrated in the Autodesk Revit schedule.

“We welcome DigiPara as an early participant in the Autodesk Exchange Apps store – the DigiPara Elevatorarchitect app is a great example of the range of valuable add-ins easily available to customers from within the design and engineering products they use every day,” said Jim Quanci, director of the Autodesk Developer Network.“ DigiPara Elevatorarchitect for Autodesk Revit is a full function add-in to Autodesk Revit software, which makes it now very easy for Autodesk Revit users to find and design the right elevator model for their project.”
