Bimorph is a specialized firm that has developed a robust suite of tools and nodes for Dynamo BIM, aimed at enhancing productivity and efficiency in Revit. Their product, BimorphNodes, has seen several iterations, with version 4.0 being specifically rebuilt for Revit 2022. This version introduced significant updates, including reclassified nodes moved to new node classes and major behavioral changes in how nodes operate, such as modifications to input and output types and the removal of certain functionalities. These updates necessitate manual adjustments in users' graphs when upgrading, highlighting Bimorph's commitment to staying at the forefront of BIM technology by adapting and refining their offerings to meet the evolving needs of Revit users.
Bimorph's Node v2.2 update brought about a significant leap in linked-element clash detection within Revit environments. This version overcame limitations imposed by the Revit API on linked elements, offering holistic support for clash detection among linked elements, even those that have been transformed or translated. By leveraging new LinkElement class properties, BimorphNodes can now support elements from an unlimited number of Link Instances and enable linked element versus linked element clash detection. This advancement not only solves a longstanding issue within the Revit API but also introduces a smart logic-tree to minimize performance overheads, ensuring that BimorphNodes remains an ultra-efficient solution for large-scale projects and complex clash detection tasks.
Through these innovations, Bimorph has positioned its software solutions as not only a complementary tool for Revit but as a superior alternative to Revit's built-in Interference Check tool. The enhancements in clash detection capabilities, support for unlimited Link Instances, and the ability to perform clash tests between elements from the same Link Instance, coupled with performance improvements, underscore Bimorph's dedication to improving BIM workflows and project outcomes. This focus on efficiency, accuracy, and the removal of previous limitations demonstrates Bimorph's role in pushing the boundaries of what's possible in BIM environments, making them a valuable resource for professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors.
