Realtime Custom Cabinetry System (RCCS) is a revolutionary cabinetry modeling system for Revit, developed by Advanced BIM Systems.
RCCS provides a superior alternative method for designing storage systems in real time, by minimizing the removal of the user from the main design interface. Traditionally a designer had to rely upon searching through endless online sources, or purchasing, or creating complex libraries of individual cabinetry components.
With a traditional Revit cabinetry library, users must search for, load and place individual cabinetry components awkwardly together, without any parametric relationship between other adjacent cabinetry components.
RCCS changes all that by integrating seamlessly into Revit's own native curtain wall tool set. Each RCCS component is hosted within a Revit curtain wall cell (panel), and therefore has a direct parametric relationship to each adjacent RCCS component via the adjustable Revit curtain grid system.
Each RCCS component within an RCCS curtain wall can easily morph into any number of cabinetries, framing or appliance options without the designer having to leave the main interface to search for the right part for their particular storage design.
All RCCS cabinetry components can be easily accessed at any time, directly from the RCCS toolbar, without the need to search for anything!
