About the app

Everything you need to know about BIMx.

Description

Graphisoft’s BIMx is an interactive app for exploring BIM projects and linked documentation sets created in Archicad and DDScad. Please download to visualize or collaborate on architectural design projects on your mobile device(s). BIMx offers professional building visualization with game-like navigation to explore and visualize architectural projects. BIMx features the ‘BIMx hyper-model’ – allowing non-design professionals to explore and fully understand architectural design intent, view project deliverables, and access element-level BIM data. BIMx links the 3D model with the relevant 2D documentation layouts, providing a seamless way to view the 3D cutaway model in the context of a 2D layout — and vice versa. BIMx connects the construction site with the architect’s office for streamlined collaboration. Real-time model cut-throughs, in-context measuring, and project markups in the model context make BIMx your best on-site BIM companion. Drive the design narrative on the building site for fast, specific client feedback. Features: • Hyperlinked 2D & 3D views with interactive markers • Trace 2D drawings on 3D with animation • Access project and building component-related BIM information • Superfast 2D documentation viewer • Game-like 3D navigation • Gravity & Egress recognition • Option to access a Hyper-model element from outside of the app • Google Cardboard VR support on iPhones • Real-time 3D cutaway • Cut Plane Color Picker • Shading options • Shadow casting • Sun positioning by date and time • Measure in 3D and on 2D layouts • Explore 3D models of any size thanks to the streaming 3D engine • Save Favorites • Create compelling presentations • Print support, PDF export • Keyboard, mouse, and gamepad support BIMx Pro features, available with Graphisoft account-based licensing: • Issue creation – BCF-based documentation revisioning • Hide 3D elements and control Layer visibility in the virtual model • Customizable Cut Plane Explore the BIMx Pro features with the built-in demo model. Joining BIMcloud in Hyper-models published from Teamwork projects unlocks Pro features.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about BIMx

What is BIMx?

BIMx is an interactive app from Graphisoft for exploring BIM projects and linked documentation sets created in Archicad and DDScad. It enables visualization and collaboration on architectural design projects on mobile devices.

Does BIMx support different 3D model views?

Yes, BIMx supports different 3D model views. Users can switch between "Architectural 3D", "Structural 3D", and "MEP 3D" views to analyze various aspects of a project.

Can users control layer visibility in BIMx?

Yes, BIMx allows users to control layer visibility. BIMx Pro features include the ability to hide 3D elements and control Layer visibility in the virtual model.

Does BIMx link 3D models with 2D documentation?

Yes, BIMx links the 3D model with relevant 2D documentation layouts. This provides a seamless way to view the 3D cutaway model in the context of a 2D layout and vice versa.

Can I measure distances within a BIMx project?

Yes, BIMx allows users to measure in 3D models and on 2D layouts. This feature enables accurate distance assessments within the architectural project visualization.

How does BIMx assist with on-site collaboration?

BIMx connects the construction site with the architect’s office for streamlined collaboration. It offers real-time model cut-throughs, in-context measuring, and project markups, making it an on-site BIM companion.

Does BIMx support sun positioning and shadow casting?

Yes, BIMx supports sun positioning by date and time, along with shadow casting and shading options. These features help visualize environmental lighting conditions for architectural projects.

Are there Pro features available in BIMx?

Yes, BIMx offers Pro features with Graphisoft account-based licensing. These include issue creation for documentation revisioning, hiding 3D elements, and controlling layer visibility in the virtual model.

Can users create and manage issues in BIMx?

Yes, BIMx Pro features include issue creation, supporting BCF-based documentation revisioning. Users can attach information to issues, as demonstrated by the "Edit Issue" panel.

Does BIMx allow saving favorite views or sections?

Yes, BIMx allows users to save Favorites. This feature lets users quickly revisit specific views or sections within their 3D models, as shown with a "D Section vertical cut" favorite.

What kind of navigation does BIMx offer for 3D models?

BIMx offers game-like 3D navigation for exploring architectural projects. It also features Gravity & Egress recognition, providing an intuitive and immersive experience for users.

Can BIMx access element-level BIM data?

Yes, BIMx allows users to access element-level BIM data. The app's "BIMx hyper-model" enables non-design professionals to explore architectural design intent and access specific building component information.

Is there a demo model available for BIMx Pro features?

Yes, users can explore BIMx Pro features with the built-in demo model. This allows for hands-on experience before committing to a Graphisoft account-based licensing.

How does BIMx handle large 3D models?

BIMx explores 3D models of any size thanks to its streaming 3D engine. This technology ensures smooth performance and visualization even with extensive architectural projects.
