Capral BIM Content Library – Revit Families for Windows and Doors

Introducing the Capral BIM Library, the ultimate resource for architects and building design professionals seeking Revit families for cutting-edge aluminium window and door solutions in their projects.

Developed by Australia’s leading BIM content creation specialists, IGS Group (IGS BIM Solutions), the Capral BIM (Revit) library has been created in consultation with leading design practices to exceed current industry benchmarks with sophisticated features that enhance project design workflow efficiency.

This new Revit library includes Capral’s full range of Architectural Glazing Systems (AGS) and Artisan Window & Door Systems, covering an extensive selection of Window and Door configurations in Revit, including: 

• Windows: Awning, Casement, Sliding, Double Hung, Louvred and Folding 
• Doors: Hinged, Pivot, Sliding and Folding 
• Specialised options for recessed, cavity, and corner applications 

With an overarching objective to meets the practical needs of architects and building designers, over 300 Revit families have been created as part of this initial launch, each designed to balance functionality, performance, documentation quality, and ease of use when designing and documenting Windows and Doors in a Revit project environment. 

The Capral Revit library incorporates a wide range of features that makes it a particularly valuable resource that aligns with the needs and common design workflows utilised by Revit users, such as: 

• Built-in SideLights and OverLights, allowing for basic multi-panel configurations without needing to load separate Revit families 

• Curtain Wall-compatible content to support more configurable and advanced façade design options

• Wall-Based Revit families that integrate seamlessly with Type-based Door/Window schedules and can be easily converted to instance-based sizing when preferred 

• Separate 2D and 3D door opening states for optimised documentation and presentation views 

• Window heights adjust from the head down, aligning with typical documentation approaches 

• Integrated maximum panel size and weight warnings, helping designers intuitively stay within practical limits 
• Consistent naming conventions across all Revit families, parameters, and subcategories, ensuring clarity and reducing friction when specifying 

To suit a wide range of Revit content usage and management workflows, Capral’s Revit assets are available to download in multiple ways: 

• As individual Revit families 

• As ‘Collections’ grouped by product range and compatible with Revit versions 2022–2026 

• As a ‘Virtual Showroom’ – a Revit project file preloaded with all Capral’s Revit assets 
• A ‘Download All’ option for maximum convenience 

The Capral BIM library is available for download via the Capral website and BIMcontent.com, where designers can access individual Revit families or complete collections of various Revit asset types and Revit software versions.

Capral Revit families are also accessible in real-time within project models via the free BIMcontent.com Revit Plug-In, providing seamless integration directly within your project environment.
