Graphisoft BIMx

What it is

Graphisoft BIMx brings layouts, 3D models, and BIM data together in a .bimx file for architecture and construction projects. It is intended for architects, engineers, construction teams, and clients, and is available on the web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Users can navigate 3D models and follow hyperlinks from Hyper-models to project documentation. BIMx Issues supports markup on 2D and 3D views, with BCF-compliant issues. Presenter and Gallery support in-person presentations and client exploration, and the Web Viewer can be embedded on a website. Model views can include building-element details such as fire ratings and manufacturer-specific properties. Graphisoft says facility managers and owners can connect Facilities Management databases with a BIM model for maintenance. Models can be shared from BIMx Model Transfer using a web link; private Hyper-model sharing is limited to Graphisoft Subscribers, SSA, and Forward users. Opening projects on mobile or desktop requires a registered Graphisoft ID. Without signing in, users can access sample content and one additional custom model.

Who it suits. BIMx suits architects, engineers, construction teams, and clients who need to explore project layouts, models, and BIM data. Facility managers and owners may also use it with connected Facilities Management data for maintenance.

Verdict

BIMx is a free option for exploring and presenting linked project layouts, 3D models, and BIM information. Users should account for the Graphisoft ID requirement in desktop and mobile apps and the limits on private Hyper-model sharing.
