Comment by Jon Mirtschin on July 21, 2011 at 3:53am: Geometry Gym connector plugins are the ones to exchange model data with other software.

Presently there are 3 BIM options (all neutral file formats), IFC (Industry Foundation Class capable of extensive building objects including MEP), CIS/2 (CimSteel Integrated Standard for Structural Steel) and SNDF (Steel Detailing Neutral Format). I am considering a direct link to software such as Revit. The others are all for Structural Analysis Software (as I trained/worked as a structural engineer).
