What do you like best about GrabCAD Library?

Many models are present in multiple file formats to avoid having to convert and possibly loose data, polygons or textures in the process. The community makes this site a great option to get a starter model on which you can build upon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GrabCAD Library?

I did not find file formats speicific to BIM software which was being used. Some models also had trouble loading all the textures in Twinmotion which made my work a bit frustating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GrabCAD Library solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing models to the community to build upon so that developers and designers don't have to start from scratch. I like that they have groups and tutorials. It feels like a niche forum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
