CLEVELAND, OH — Architects, builders, contractors, and designers can now create color-accurate renderings of rooms with Sherwin Williams' addition of Autodesk Revit.

A Building Information Modeling (BIM) software platform, Autodesk Revit provides instant access to Sherwin-Williams paint products and colors, enabling users to design buildings, specify products, and render photo-realistic images.

The library files in the software enable users to integrate colors directly from the catalog into their drawings, eliminating extra tasks in the design process. Files can also be saved locally on a computer or centralized network for access by multiple people.

“As architects and designers seek to streamline the workflow process, the integration of Sherwin-Williams products and colors into the software will make specification faster and easier,” said Joe Kujawski, director, wholesale marketing, Sherwin-Williams.

“In the past, paint and coatings manufacturers didn’t have a great way to become an integral part of the BIM workflow; this new approach achieves just that,” said Benjamin Glunz, president, Anguleris Technologies.
