Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Good for clients
We use the app extensively in our office to share designs with clients. We accept the slightly lower visual quality of the 3d model as the app is very nimble and models tend to be small in size- thus easy for clients to download and work with.
A couple of points on the new version. It’s extremely frustrating that clients- which used to be able to install and start viewing- now have to have a Graphisoft ID and login credentials. To make this easy for them I’m giving them our office ID but I have no idea why graphisoft added this layer of complexity (actually I do have an idea- but I hope they realize it hurts them more than it helps them). My only other gripe- which has been mentioned by others ad-infinitum, is that there is no mark up tool for either the model or the imported pdfs. What an INSANELY powerful tool the app would be if they could institute this measure that so many people are asking for. I have to think they’re working on it.

💡✨ ArchiCAD App for iPad Pro M2: Optimization Request 🏗️🔥
ArchiCAD Developers,
I kindly request that you consider the possibility of creating an ArchiCAD application optimized for the iPad Pro M2, with its powerful processors. I believe that such a step would significantly enhance ArchiCAD's functionality and make the work of architects and designers more convenient.
Using an iPad Pro M2, users would have access to faster and more efficient work with your software. This would be particularly important for on-site work, where mobile devices are increasingly in demand.
Many professionals in the fields of architecture and design would be willing to use ArchiCAD on the iPad if a suitable version were available. This could also attract new clients and expand your user base.
I hope that you will explore this opportunity and recognize the potential it offers. Your attention to this matter would be highly valuable to professionals working in this industry.
Sincerely,
Noakhcho.
BIMx problem fixed quickly
I’m happy to report that after I reported a bug with BIMx related to either the new iOS 15 or iPhone 13, the bug was fixed within a week. And the bug was part of a teething problem of the sort you might expect from a major OS release. Thank you, Graphisoft! Good support.
This program is INDISPENSABLE in communicating my designs to clients and if you use Archicad you should be using it too.

Hi, thanks for your review. I'm happy to let you know we've already corrected this issue in version 3705, please update the application. Feel free to contact us at bimx@graphisoft.com if any assistance is needed. Best regards, Roland
