Configura CET Designer® launches RevLink, a free Extension that integrates with Revit®

September 30, 2009

Configura CET Designer® today launched its RevLink Extension at the CET Designer User Conference in Las Vegas. The RevLink Extension is available from CET Designer's Extension Manager and is free to all to users.

Solutions Manager Johan Lindholm demos and explains Configura CET Designer’s new Extension, RevLink, which integrates with Revit. RevLink is free to CET Designer users.

“CET Designer already offers complete functionality throughout the entire design-selling-specifying-ordering-delivery process. With the RevLink connection to Revit® in CET Designer, the functions are expanded to include architectural visualization and proactive planning and budgeting,” Configura Vice President Peter Brandinger said.

The Parametric Graphical Configuration (PGC)-based RevLink Extension will enable Configura’s manufacturing clients to create and post families of CET objects (their products). These families will be available and downloadable to architects, designers, dealers – anyone who helps to create buildings and office space – in order to design a truly realistic environment, populated with furniture and other accessories.

Hear CET user Maureen Soules talk about the RevLink Extension:

CET Designer Version 2.2 with RevLink Extension will:

Help architects visualize furnished space and learn more about manufacturers’ actual products.
Enable users to access such parameters as cost, model and part identification numbers, and product descriptions, thus enabling schedule creation in Revit® and associated total costs.
Let architects manipulate changes to families once in Revit®, such as placement, movement, rotation, duplication and switching between family types.
Integrate back and forth, retaining the intelligence in CET Designer.
Help dealers, designers and architects to communicate more efficiently.
Quickly and accurately fulfill the entire cycle of the sales and order process.

The Best of NeoCon Gold Award-Winning CET Designer® is used to design and specify office furnishings and space. The software produces photo-realistic renderings, accurate bills of materials and complete installation instructions – without relying on AutoCAD, although the software easily integrates with AutoCAD. The latest version, CET Designer® 2.2, which has a new graphics engine, vastly improves the power to handle large drawings and projects.
