--Spot Lights - We move onward and upward!--
Revitopia will be moving! You may log in over the upcoming month and notice that you are no longer site forwarded from http://www.revitopia.com/ to http://revitopia.wetpaint.com/. When our new address is just http://www.revitopia.com things will look different but the new site will be faster, smarter and better. The new site will include community forums, news, library, and of course the wiki plus more.

Whats a BIM?
BIM stands for Building Information Modeling. BIM is in essence a virtual building inside a computer. It includes 3D geometry for the building, and more importantly it contains all the properties of objects in the BIM. Stresses of structural components, Materials on elements like furniture, Prices and Cost of items for the building are ideally all housed inside a BIM." to
