One model is useful.
A reusable equipment library is where things start to scale.
When we create equipment families, we’re not only modelling the geometry.
The family can also carry technical parameters, identification data and the information required for schedules, documentation and IFC exchange.
And not every existing piece of equipment comes with perfect manufacturer data.
In those cases, configurable generic families can be much more practical: correct overall dimensions, the information we actually know, and a structure that can be reused on the next site.
That changes the workflow. You’re no longer rebuilding the same equipment from zero every time a new site appears.
The model becomes one project.
The library becomes something you can keep using.
