BIMx: Revolutionizing Building Design and Collaboration
BIMx by GRAPHISOFT SE provides an intuitive platform for architects and builders to visually explore building models and enhance project collaboration, making it a must-have tool in the AEC industry.
Graphisoft’s BIMx is an interactive app designed for exploring BIM projects and linked documentation sets created in Archicad and DDScad. It allows users to visualize and collaborate on architectural design projects using their mobile devices.
BIMx offers professional building visualization with a game-like navigation system that allows users to explore and visualize architectural projects. Its standout feature is the 'BIMx hyper-model', which enables non-design professionals to fully understand architectural design intent, view project deliverables, and access element level BIM data. The app seamlessly links the 3D model with the relevant 2D documentation layouts, providing users with a comprehensive view of the project.
BIMx facilitates streamlined collaboration between the construction site and the architect's office. Its real-time model cut-throughs, in-context measuring, and project markups in the model context make it an invaluable on-site BIM companion. Users can drive the design narrative on the building site, allowing for fast and specific client feedback.
