If you’re new to drafting and design you’re probably familiar with Revit by now, or you at least heard of it. AutoCAD has been around since the 1980’s and since it’s introduction has eventually become ingrained in the DNA of most design firms and offices and has become an integral part of the day-to-day activities of the design process. Is it time to change from AutoCAD to Revit? Check the infographic. It was almost 20 years later that Revit Families was introduced to the public.

Its acceptance in the design and construction industry was a gradual one but over time more and more professionals began making the transition or included Revit in their workflow. So, why switch to BIM? Recently, BIM achieved great benefits in the process of architectural design by saving time and money. In the last 10 years, it showed positive effects on the life-cycle of the building starting from its design phase to its demolishing! Here is a list of 30 useful websites for BIM design software users that might help.
We all need good content to populate our models, and if they are Free then even better! Here we are trying to help the Revit community by adding up a list of the most valuable resources to download Revit Families for free.
Websites to download Revit Families for free:

Mestek has created a library of BIM objects for free download and use by the design community. Objects are available in the Autodesk Revit MEP.RFA format and many objects are also stored as.ZIP files.

8. SpecifiedBy (UK)
This is a great resource for manufacturer specific content from a huge range of product categories. They claim to have “the largest library of BIM content in the UK”, and the site is easy to navigate, search, and filter to find exactly what you’re looking for.
9. ARCAT
For CAD and BIM resources, ARCAT is a one-stop-shop. Their free, no registration system has everything from concrete to pollution control system.
9. BIMetica (Spanish)
Again, another BIM library with a large amount of Revit families. Some categories are empty however which can be annoying!
10. The National BIM Library
The National Bim Library offers a collection of free to download generic BIM components that are compatible with the major BIM products.

A good place to find manufacturer specific content, a bit hard to navigate and find products without knowing the manufacturer first. Worth a look however.
14. Polantis
This site offers a huge range of 3d content, however a lot of the Revit families are not “true” Revit familes, in the sense they have been created in other 3d programs and just imported and saved as a Revit Family file. Good site if your just after content for visualization purposes.
