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 smartphones
• Real-time 3D cutaway
• 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 new streaming 3D engine
• Save Favorites
