In April 2026, Geberit released an updated BIM Catalogue plug-in for Autodesk Revit, adding specialized functions for roof drainage design. The tool, which supports Revit versions 2024 through 2026, is available as a free download for architectural and engineering firms.
Why it matters
The update aims to streamline design workflows by reducing the need for teams to switch between separate planning software applications. By embedding parametric product data directly into the design environment, firms can improve precision in system calculations and fastening layouts.
The Geberit Group generated 3.2 billion Swiss francs (approximately 4.02 billion USD) in net sales during 2025. The company currently manages 26 production facilities and employs 11,000 workers across 50 countries.
The players
Geberit Group
A Switzerland-based manufacturer of sanitary parts and systems with 26 production facilities and a global footprint.
Autodesk
A global software corporation that provides the Revit platform used for building information modeling and architecture.
The details
The plug-in uses parametric objects that carry metadata to simulate real-world installation components within a digital model. Following system calculations, the software generates specific fastening points for roof drainage. This allows professionals to maintain project continuity within the Revit platform rather than exporting data to external drainage design tools.
Timeline
2019: Geberit launched the initial BIM Catalogue plug-in.
2024: The company celebrated its 150th anniversary.
April 2025: An update added data for SuperTube and Duofix systems.
2025: The company reported 3.2 billion Swiss francs in net sales.
April 2026: Geberit issued the latest BIM plug-in maintenance release.
Market Landscape
This release follows a broader industry trend of building product manufacturers providing parametric data directly to the Autodesk Revit ecosystem to secure product specifications during the design phase. It builds on Geberit’s ongoing efforts to centralize design assets, previously updated in 2025 with SuperTube and Duofix data.
Design and engineering firms should evaluate whether this integration eliminates the need for third-party drainage software in their current Revit pipelines. Project managers should verify if the updated BIM data meets specific regional drainage codes before integrating it into active site plans.
The takeaway
Integrating manufacturer data directly into architectural software reduces the risk of specification errors during the transition from design to construction. Operators should audit their current BIM plug-in suite to ensure their teams are using the most current product metadata for active projects.
