NUDURA ICF's - Library Parts

Steve Jepson — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 19:06:04 GMT

The https://www.nudura.com/resources/design-library/bim-library/ has is .rfa only. I could convert them except it seems that they are older than a 2015 Revit version.

Does anyone have a solution for getting these parts into .gsm parts ?

Operating system used: Windows 10 PRO

To answer my own question -- Download the Revit 2025 Demo. Download the NUDRA Revit Template BIM Library | Nudura Design Library

Open the Template and do "Cancel Upgrade". Do not upgrade NUDURA Revit Template.

ArchiCAD (even 28) will not open version 25 .rfa files. The Template file is a version 2021 .rfa it will work better with ArchiCAD collaborations.

That template has the NUDRUA .rfa objects. From there you can export them as IFC objects ( there are settings for level of detail land such). The IFC files you export from Revit open with ArchiCAD very nicely.

I am not bothering to try and explain the steps with Revit - I barely know how to open it. I leave that so someone else.

If I can do it - anyone can. It's a similar process for all the manufactures with so-called "BIM" Libraries which they seem to think is synonymous with Revit. Hope it helps someone.

I have written a full ICF estimating system using accessories.

For nudura, logix, and Fox block

Including accessories such as zip ties and vert and hor clips as well as membrane, supports pretty much everything I need.

I am an owner in Utah ICF (currently we are just logix, but we are working on expanding our arsenal) and the head estimator.

I even wrote things for beaver plastics fortruss so I can calculate and display all the foam and concrete and rebar.

Do you have any drawings with dimensions enough to accurately model Hydrofoam ?

I can/t find any detailed drawings. I would use it for the tubing layouts as well as my material lists.

NUDURA sent me a .dwg that works very well for modeling the Hydrofoam. Not sure if I can share it but you could get one from them too I am sure.
