1. BIM content
As designers, one of your pet hates is searching for useable BIM content and bringing that into your project. The team at QARC Systems is dedicated to creating elements that work: families that are useable and flexible; BIM content that comes with required information; content that renders as it should. As architects and designers, we understand your needs. That is why we created QARC4Revit, with a delivery system that provides that content within the Revit environment. QARC4Revit provides you with a generic library of 9000+ families and system families. Our ARChetype template responds to this professional content, reflecting reality and has BIM information attached. It is our mission to help you document better, design better and save you time. We are in constant contact with Manufacturers with the intent of creating their BIM products which we will provide free of charge to the BIM community, but which will have added benefit to QARC subscribers as the content will automatically schedule in the pre-formatted tables within the ARChetype.
2. The ARChetype
The ARChetype is a Revit template file, acting as a full toolbox, with all sheets and views prepared. You simply start modelling and documenting is occurring.

The ARChetype has been designed to change its look completely, by the insertion of these Titleblocks. There are both horizontal and vertical Titleblocks so you can switch as needed to suit the sheet content. ARChetype has cover Titleblocks, and even a minimal one for showing a consultant’s drawing.

4. BIMLocker
BIMLocker is your own content library of favourites. It adds a personal folder to our unique QARC Content Browser. Using the BIMLocker Manager, you can upload almost anything that Revit contains, similar to how the Browser already operates. Things like families & system families, through to detail items and drafting views, even schedules.
The BIMLocker Manager allows you to arrange your content in any way you prefer, like File Explorer. We are creating a folder structure similar to our 9000+ QARC Library, so you can follow the same taxonomy.
The higher version of BIMLocker is designed for a BIM Manager in charge of many Revit users in a practice. They can completely control the folder structure, who has rights of access & editing, and more.
