BIM Rawlplug 2025 development of the library: news and cooperations
Recently, our BIM Rawlplug technical library has been significantly expanded, which opens up new possibilities for users and facilitates the implementation of our solutions in various engineering projects. Below are the most important changes and the benefits of their introduction.
BIM models dedicated to the Tekla Structures
All mechanical and chemical anchors have been given BIM Rawlplug library compatible with Tekla Structures. This extension marks a significant increase in the available files, making it easier for designers to use our products in the environment of this particular software.
Tekla Structures is one of the leading tools on the design market, used primarily in the modeling of building, engineering and industrial structures. The software is renowned for its advanced approach to detail management, making it an ideal environment for working with high-precision products such as mechanical and chemical anchors. With Tekla Structures - compatible BIM models, is a significant increase in the number of available files and flexibility in their use. Designers now have the ability to:
- Download ready-made components without having to create them from scratch, which saves time and minimizes the risk of errors. The full range of files is available in Rawlplug's BIM online library and in the dedicated Tekla Structures – Tekla Warehouse.
- Use our library in various projects, regardless of their scale and complexity.
- Presenting detailed visualizations to investors or contractors, which facilitates decision-making and reduces the time of project approval.
The introduction of our products to the Tekla environment is another step towards increasing the availability of tools supporting design in accordance with the BIM philosophy. This solution gives our customers an edge in the rapidly growing construction and engineering sector.

Tutorials – Rawlplug's BIM in a nutshell
Along a number of videos presenting the capabilities of Rawlplug's BIM website have been created. An attractive and simple form of presenting the service can undoubtedly be helpful during meetings and conversations with designers. In the Tutorials and on the Rawplug YT channel, you can find the following materials:
Expanding the drawing database with new product families
Until now, our BIM library has mainly focused on mechanical and chemical anchors. Currently, we have expanded it with other products, for which we have made 2D models available in the CAD environment. Currently, 2D CAD resources include:
- Lightweight fixings
- Sandwitch panels self-drilling screws
- Frame fixings
- Façade insulation fixings
- Flat roof insulation fixings
These changes increase the number of 2D CAD drawings available to meet the needs of customers who prefer a classic 2D design environment.
New collaborations with software vendors: Athena CAD-PLAN and bocad SCHULLER&Company
We have started cooperation with CAD tool manufacturers such as Athena CAD-PLAN and bocad SCHULLER&Company response to numerous inquiries from our customers and users of these programs about the availability of our product models. Through this collaboration, we make our solutions much easier to access by integrating them directly with these popular design tools.
Athena CAD-PLAN, dedicated to the design of facades and aluminium and steel structures, m.in, allows designers to quickly introduce our products into façade models and lightweight structures at an early stage of the project.
Bocad SCHULLER & Company, specializing in details of steel and reinforced concrete structures, enables precise reproduction of our fasteners in industrial or engineering projects, supporting strength analyses and generation of workshop documentation.
The use of Rawlplug products through internal libraries in Athena CAD-PLAN and bocad SCHULLER&Company can be viewed in dedicated videos in the Tutorials.
By integrating our products into these programs, designers don't need to download external files or manually add them, making the design process faster and more accurate. Users can plan and execute projects more efficiently, with the confidence that the components used comply with technical specifications.

New sizes of R-HLX and R-HPTIII products in the BIM Library
Rawlplug's BIM library has been enriched with models for the new R-HLX and R-HPTIII product sizes, which is a significant extension of our digital offer. The addition of these variants allows designers to tailor solutions even more precisely to the technical requirements of their projects.
What does this mean in practice?
- End-to-end product approach – in parallel with the launch of a new product size on the market, all forms of technical support are launched, including models and drawings
- Greater design flexibility – the new sizes allow the products to be used in a wider range of designs and perfectly match the solution to structural requirements and material specifications.
- Time saving - the extended library allows you to introduce the right product to your project faster and easier.
The new R-HLX and R-HPTIII sizes are a step towards making our solutions even more accessible to a wide range of users and provide real support for complex and diverse projects.
Updates for the benefit of users
Rawlplug's BIM library is a tool that meets Rawlplug's product offer on an ongoing basis. Subsequent updates allow you to adjust the model library to the existing market and design needs.
After the BIM update, Rawlplug:
- Offers a greater variety of products and product sizes.
- It ensures the integration of our solutions with various design tools.
- It responds to customer needs in both 2D and 3D environments.
- It provides users with maximum convenience and time savings.
Our extensive and updated BIM library is a step towards modern, integrated design solutions that meet the requirements of today's engineers and designers. We invite you to use the new resources!
