"No, look at the beam," Elias said, tapping the structural member. "The beam is modeled at eleven-six. The design intent has the duct going over the beam, but the PDF cut showed it running under. The steel guys built it right. The HVAC subs are planning it wrong based on the bad print."
For any firm utilizing Archicad, integrating the BIMx viewer into their workflow is a natural step towards better, faster, and more collaborative design.
In the realm of Building Information Modeling (BIM), navigating complex projects and sharing detailed designs with stakeholders can be a daunting task. Graphisoft's BIMx Viewer is a powerful solution that aims to simplify the process of accessing and exploring BIM projects. After taking BIMx Viewer for a spin, I'm excited to share my thoughts on its capabilities and how it can benefit AEC professionals. bimx viewer
The trajectory of BIMx aligns with major trends shaping the future of the AEC industry:
: Available on iOS and Android, optimized for on-site reviews and client presentations. Web Viewer : A browser-based tool hosted on the BIMx Model Transfer site that requires no installation for viewing shared links. Spatial Canvas : Supports immersive exploration on headsets like the Apple Vision Pro Core Features BIMx - App Store - Apple "No, look at the beam," Elias said, tapping
, a tool designed to bridge that gap by turning complex ArchiCAD projects into immersive, easy-to-navigate experiences. What is BIMx? The BIMx model is what Graphisoft "Hyper-model"
The BIMx viewer supports intelligent, interactive tags. Each component within the model can contain metadata—such as material specifications, manufacturer information, or cost data—which can be accessed simply by tapping on an object. 4. 2D Layout Interaction The steel guys built it right
The version enhances collaboration further by allowing: Direct Markups: Annotate plans and 3D views on the spot.

A 2D PDF shows you a line representing a wall. The BIMx Viewer shows you the wall, the texture of the concrete, the conduit running inside it, and the beam resting on top of it. When a contractor sees the model in 3D context, they make fewer mistakes.
