Contest winners were excited not only about the contest results, but about the continuing opportunities afforded by Revit Market.

"I was thrilled to be recognized in the Revit Market contest,” said Strachan Forgan, aka FogCityBrit. “The marketplace is a fantastic mechanism to unlock the value of the content we create, while providing other users significant time savings. “

"Revit Market is a great step to make BIM popular,” says Andre Seifert. “By offering virtual building elements for sale, both sides are winning—the seller strives to improve his offerings, and the consumer is able to chose from a wide range of high quality products."

“As a student born and bred on Revit, it was always a challenge for me to find quality Revit families,” says Tom de Plater of RFA Central. “Because I had to make my own, now I have a small library of families that I can offer to other people. Revit Market is a win-win for me. Start the Revitlution!”
