PITTSBURGH – PPG announced the availability of comprehensive building information modeling (BIM) materials for its architectural and metal coatings through a new partnership with BIMSMITH®, a leading cloud platform for architects and designers.
The partnership enables designers to use PPG’s architectural and metal coatings alongside exterior components in AUTODESK® REVIT® and other leading architectural design applications, adding efficiency and intelligence to a building’s design and maintenance.
