Architecture and design are fields constantly evolving to meet the dynamic needs of modern infrastructure and aesthetics. At Southwest Solutions Group (SSG), we pride ourselves on not just keeping pace with these advancements but driving them forward through innovative solutions and comprehensive services. Our A&D (Architecture & Design) services are tailored to assist professionals at every stage, from project inception to completion.
In this blog, we delve into two of our standout offerings: Fetch, our free Revit content library, and our Continuing Education Courses.
Fetch: Your Gateway to Hundreds of Free Revit Models
One of the unique services we offer at SSG is Fetch, a free Revit plugin designed to simplify and enhance the design process. Fetch is not just a tool but a gateway to a growing database of BIM models that can be seamlessly integrated into your Revit projects.
Access to Cutting-Edge Content
Fetch connects you to an expansive and meticulously maintained database, ensuring you have access to the most current product and pricing information available. Our robust library features thousands of high-quality Revit models and families, encompassing a wide range of products from trusted storage manufacturers, including everything from hospital bed lifts to smart parcel delivery systems. All our content is a digital twin of real-world products, which means your projects incorporate items that can be sourced and installed seamlessly.
Streamlining Your Workflow
With Fetch, the heavy lifting is already done. The plugin allows you to quickly search and insert our content into your Revit projects, with each family synced to our internal database for accuracy and relevance. Our groupings of families into room segments make it simple to estimate budget pricing and accurate spatial conditions early in the design phase. This innovative approach ensures that you can focus on design rather than being bogged down by administrative details.
Enhanced Usability
We have implemented a sophisticated system of shared parameters with tooltips to make using our content user-friendly. By eliminating type catalogs and utilizing user inputs with data validation, we enable you to design without endless spreadsheet searches. Moreover, our specialized schedules and tags help harvest relevant data, turning off the drip (Data Rich, Information Poor) and providing you with precisely what you need when you need it.
