Free Sweets Add-in – Download Free Manufacturer Content and Annotate it with ProductTag

From the Autodesk App Store..

Sweets is a building product resource for design professionals. Sweets app for Autodesk® Revit® allows the entire design team (architects, engineers, contractors and designers) to easily SEARCH, SELECT and ANNOTATE (TAG) manufacturer building product data directly into their projects.

The Sweets™ app for Revit streamlines product selection, improves project documentation and allows in-project search, selection and annotation (tagging) for products. No more typing in manufacturer product info, no more errors, and no more leaving the project to find detailed product information.

Download the Sweets app now to access comprehensive building product information, CAD details, BIM objects, specs, catalogs, galleries, green product information, CEUs and more.
Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).






About This Version
Version 1.0.4, 3/2/2016: Initial Release.

The free Sweets add-in is brought to you by Global Product Data, LLC. There's more information available on the Autodesk App Store.
