Ronald Chisholm, Spacesaver
Cindy Bremer, Director of Marketing, Kolbe & Kolbe: Costs are directly related to the complexity of the product that is going to be modeled. A casement window is less expensive to create than a bow window that contains a fixed unit and double-hungs at each side.
Windows are very difficult to model correctly and are highly parametric. Kolbe windows can be adjusted for size, location in the wall, number of divider bars and much more. The unit cost on windows is therefore much higher than the creation of a file cabinet.
I recommend you do what we did and contact Reed for a proposal they have experience and expertise in the creation of excellent SmartBIM Objects.
