Welcome to the seamlessly integrated plugin of BIMcatalogs.net powered by CADENAS
The Plugin is shown in the toolbar of your CAD system.
Here we show you how the overall process works and explain the functions of each plugin in the individual system.
The plugin allows to insert manufacturer certified products in all mentioned systems below.
ALLPLAN only allows to insert objects. Replacing objects can be achieved by using the ALLPLAN function "SmartPart Replace".
In AutoCAD (Architecture and Mechanical) all features will be available in the new added toolbar:
- Insert
- Replace
- Insert repeatedly (take the last used object and place it again)
- Support
- Info
in Autodesk Revit all features will be available in the new added toolbar:
All features are described in detail here.

Common features / functions of the plugin
 |
The plugin is started with "Insert". After starting, you have full access to all content - seamlessly integerated into your system. |
 |
The plugin can also be started with „Replace“ - it will just follow with the replace procedure, asking for a selected product to be replaced (if nothing is selected). |
 |
„Support“ connects you with our customer service to ask for assistance. A new window will open that displays all plugin relevant settings. it also enables you to collect and retrieve additional information to narrow down system settings for your request. |
 |
"Info" shows a summary of our terms of use, as well as third party licenses. |
The plugin starts with the list of all manufacturer / allows to find your object knowing the manufacturer.
 |
The full-text search can be used: |
When having identified / found a product - the exact variant can be configured. In the top area all possible options are available, in the bottom area will appear a 3D preview of the variant in real-time. At the very bottom there is the button to transfer the product variant to your target system.
After exporting to your system, the object is pinned to the mouse cursor for individual placement using the features of your CAD system.
Replacing works similar as inserting. The only difference is that we suggest to have an object in your CAD selected before calling replace - otherwise this will be requested.
The plugin also allows to replace all identical instances of your selected object:
The plugin then asks if it should open the object - if recognized - that was selected in CAD. [Yes] opens the exact recognized variant. [No] opens the plugin and starts either with the manufacturers list or the last used product.
