Graphisoft’s BIMx Desktop Viewer is an interactive app for exploring BIM projects and linked documentation sets created in Archicad and DDScad and enables viewers to explore architectural design projects on your desktop computer.

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.

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
