Why do the planning tool files (Revit, Sketchup, AutoCAD & CET) not contain finishes?
All our planning software files are saved with white/gray or undecided finishes. This is to allow the designer to apply their own creative palette or pull in the customer brand specific to their project.
Why are prices not shown for Allsteel Partnership products on Idea Starters?
Allsteel has integrated partnership products including Zilenzio, Normann Copenhagen, and Corral. Customers are directed to designpublicgroup.com for all partnership product pricing. These are no longer included in Idea Starters as of November 2021. If you have questions on partnership products please contact your local representative.
Why are some Idea Starters missing a Revit family file?
When launching new Idea Starters, we strive to have a Revit family file associated with every typical. Occasionally a Revit file will be delayed due to symbol creation. If you would like to see a collection of all our Idea Starters that contain a Revit family, please click here.
