Among the advantages of using UpdateBIM, it is important to highlight that it includes objects managed in Revit, such as materials specifically prepared for use in floors, walls, and ceilings.

This functionality was created to serve companies specializing in finishing materials, whether they are ceramics, marbles, woods, etc.

The goal of this feature is to provide materials that offer a very realistic solution in material presentations, especially those with repeating textures. Recently, the feature known as “de-toning” has been widely used. This means that a texture, such as a ceramic tile of 30×30 cm format, uses many pieces placed randomly to achieve a realistic effect that closely resembles reality.

Here is an example image from the manufacturer AZTECA Cerámica with material in 30×90 format.

Another objective, aside from achieving a realistic visual effect, is the use of bump mapping textures, such as the one corresponding to the previous material.

The combination of both textures creates a realistic effect in the construction solutions where this material is used.

The process to register materials in UpdateBIM is straightforward but highly specialized. If you wish to delve deeper into this technology, please contact us, and we will provide the appropriate support.
