About the Listings, which are paid and which are free
Our icons tell our users find which advertisers have cad and specification data online for their project. Here are the requirements for the icons:
- The website has editable CAD details for their products online - on their website. We require that the details be available in a DWG format with a DXF format as an alternate. In addition, providing the detail as a viewable PDF file can also be helpful to the specifier or other user not working with CAD.
- The website has editable 3-part CSI-formatted specifications for their products online. We recommend that the files be available in a Word document. You might consider having WordPerfect and RTF for ease of use, but not required.
- The website has both CAD details and specifications.
- The website has a LEED™ statement about how their products fit into a LEED™ certified project.
To get the 4specs' icons, the CAD details and specs cannot be in a password-protected area. Our users tell us they do not like giving out personal information and will frequently go to another manufacturer's website to get the information rather than fill in a form and give their contact information.
