Revit Pure Live #040 - Downloading Great Revit Families 👪 with Glenn Sinclair

Glenn Sinclair is the CTO at IGS BIM Solutions. He helped create the BIM content website bimcontent.com. I have tons of questions for Glenn! Generally, I recommend to all my clients that they avoid free internet families. However, it seems that BIMcontent created very high-quality families that are both lightweight and reliable. Their website includes both showroom files and 3D previews!
