Charlotte Pipe products available as smart Revit drawings
ChaRloTTe, n.C. — Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company’s extensive line of pipe and fittings are now available as autodesk® Revit® drawings. The parametric files can be downloaded at
www.charlottepipe.com and contain lots of useful data. In addition to the drawings, users have access to speci- fications links, technical and installation manuals and a direct link to our website. Users can download individual products or they can choose to download groups of prod- ucts, depending on their needs. Until now engineers, contractors, architects and other
Revit users relied on general files when designing their 3- d plumbing systems. By using Charlotte Pipe’s Revit offering, they can now use plumbing products with exact dimensions, making the virtual system much closer to a real-life installation. Charlotte Pipe and Foundry is the only manufacturer
that offers a system of aBS, PvC, CPvC, cast iron, FlowGuard Gold®, Chemdrain® ReUze® and RePvC® pipe and fittings for residential and commercial plumbing systems and industrial applications. The nation's leading maker of cast iron and plastic pipe and fittings, Charlotte Pipe and Foundry offers the industry’s broadest product offering of standard and specialty dWv products.

FlowGuard Gold® and Corzan® piping systems easier to specify with BIM objects
Cleveland— FBC™ Building Solutions of The lubrizol Corporation announced that it is now offering architects and engineers access to Building Information Modeling (BIM) objects for its FlowGuard Gold® and Corzan® pipe and fittings. In doing so, it becomes the first compa- ny to have manufacturer-specific potable water piping available in the autodesk® Revit® software package. Since most architects who use BIM in their design processes utilize Revit software to create a 3d digital rep- resentation of the products, FBC Building Solutions has adapted the BIM objects for its FlowGuard Gold and Corzan pipe and fittings to be downloaded through the autodesk® Seek search engine (a web-based search engine for BIM objects that is compatible with autodesk Revit software). Products can be found by searching for a product name, description or company name at
seek.autodesk.com.
