That doesn't make them a BIM application.

What's your point? All 3D programs have a data structure of some kind under the hood. As a matter of fact, the last big webcast from Autodesk just showed it being used for real-time effects for the game industry, and not even as a modeler.

Right, that's why Softimage has been used to do so many BIM projects. Other than that, I don't see the added value for Revit user yet. If they manage to keep the files size down and the performance up, then it could be interesting for a Revit user to use it for certain things, like a large complex curtain system that would be too performance intensive for Revit. We've all seen what happens when you build up one an existing platform (ACA). I'm more curious to see how the added BIM will affect the overall performance in Rhino. But I'm not sure if RhinoBIM will be interesting for this group, since they're using Revit already. While Revit 2 makes Rhino for most things obsolete, the speed of knocking out multiple designs in the preliminary phase is what makes it worth using for some. This is more an inheritance from the Pre RAC 2010 where Rhino was one of the few software that can import a clean geometry into Revit. Then you have those firms that use Rhino as a conceptual tool in combination with a bim solution like Revit.

They could benefit from a BIM plug-in since they are not planning to switch to a full BIM solution like Revit anyhow. However, I think this BIM solution is only for those firms who do everything in Rhino. Anyone with some business sense will jump on this. Many eye catching buildings are done in Rhino, while it's not really made for architecture. It was a matter of time before Rhino (not sure if it's Mcneal or someone else) would come up with a BIM solution.
