Coordination between spec and model for Revit, Archicad & Vectorworks.
You can use NBS plug-ins to co-ordinate specification information with your model data. NBS have plug-ins available for Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft Archicad, Vectorworks, and options for keynoting in Bentley, AutoCAD and Vectorworks too.
Get started
NBS can provide access for users who mainly co-ordinate and synchronize model information with NBS Chorus clause references, but don’t require permissions to edit or write specification content.
Find out more
If you use a different platform or other CAD tools, you can still cross-reference your specification information with keynotes. Find out more about using keynoting in this article.
Keynoting explainedNBS plug-ins address the issues associated with traditional methods of co-ordinating drawing information with specifications, ensuring the currency of the data being used and that frequent changes in drawn information or the specification don’t result in model references becoming out of date.
Plug-ins are available for Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft Archicad, Vectorworks and Bentley.
