Sherwin Williams : is the First Paint Company to Join BIMsmith Platform

Sherwin-Williams, a pioneer in the coatings industry for more than 150 years, leads the industry in another first

CLEVELAND (September 7, 2016) - Building on its legacy of developing innovative products and leveraging the latest technologies to provide exceptional service to professionals, Sherwin-Williams announced its partnership with the Anguleris Technologies Building Information Modeling (BIM) platform, BIMsmith. Since becoming the first paint and coatings manufacturer to make its paints available to architects and designers in the leading design software, Autodesk Revit, Sherwin-Williams continues to lead in the paint industry by becoming the first paint manufacturer to partner with BIMsmith.

Now, in addition to being available in Revit, Sherwin-Williams paints and coatings are available in the BIMsmith design platform that allows architects and designers to build complete wall assemblies with actual products. BIMsmith gives the designer accurate outputs for each custom assembly such as 3 part specifications, cut-sheets and fully annotated Revit Families.

'We are devoted supporters of continuous improvement, not only to develop breakthrough product innovations but also to create and enhance programs that bring even more value to architects, designers and other professionals,' said Nancy Hutchinson, director of wholesale marketing, Sherwin-Williams. 'We know that the world of modeling is continuously evolving. Working with BIMsmith, we are streamlining the design process by making our paint catalog easy to visualize and specify in projects, so architects and designers can develop holistic solutions and plans - leading to great outcomes in less time.'

'BIMsmith cuts down on the time that architects and designers used to spend searching multiple manufacturers sites and other BIM content sites for all the files and information needed to specify a project,' Benjamin Glunz, CEO of Anguleris stated. 'Now they can build complete systems with the exact finishes that will be present in finished projects. The designer can select the exact Sherwin-Williams paint product that completes their design.'

The BIMsmith platform is free for architects, designers and other industry professionals. It is cloud-based, and gives users the ability to design and virtually build wall, ceiling and floor systems on the fly. Once a system is completed, customized files are a click away for download.
