Well since my Dutch is no existent - comment will have to be limited but looks like you have a good basis for local content. This is something that many resellers should be doing. Presumably the content you illustrate is for your customers only? There have been many discussions, too many , about Revit Content, quality control, who should provide it, should Autodesk do more, in various posts on these forums. Congratulations just a shame its only for your local customers.
Your link to Cadac, by the way, is miss typed "cadac.coom"

Looks great. I am inclined to actually learn my mother language so I could browse with some real incite to the website. :)

Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate (fixed the typo ;)

Available to everyone who pays ;-)).
Creating a family in Revit is a task where you have to take a moment and do it. Not nuclear science but neither Humpty Dumpty.
Creating a working library of content is as many of you know a process of years.
Maybe Revit OOTB works for some firms in the USA, but definitely not here. Its not that we build our buildings from top to bottom, but its the small and not so small differences that are just necessary to have a working solution.
And maybe how knows, if this kicks off we go Global.

My dutch is about as advanced as an 8 year old. I found the navigation clear. The explainations were concise. If I understand correctly you have 4 locations that make revit materials, detail componants and families.

actually one place: www.Demodus.com (http://www.demodus.com/)

we divided the families in:
- Model components -> all 3D and 3D related (profiles,...) families / annotations / keynotes / ...
- Detail components -> all 2D elements needed to compose a detail
- Rendering components -> at this moment its a AccuRender *.mlib with some basic materials used in the families
- Help -> help files, update utility

Subdivisions are based on the Sfb-system widely accepted in Europe.

Organice is a document management system for Sharepoint.
We use it to manage the content. Currently the integration in Revit is under development.
