Epson Teams with Autodesk to Offer Projector 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) Files within Revit

LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson, the number-one selling projector brand worldwide, today announced it has teamed with Autodesk to make it easier for consultants and design engineers to specify Epson projector solutions in new construction and remodeling projects within the Autodesk Revit software. Design professionals using the software can now easily access Epson projectors within Autodesk Seek, a web service that enables designers to quickly discover, preview and download BIM files, models, drawings, and product specifications for their active design sessions.
