## Description

BIMx by Graphisoft is an interactive app for exploring BIM projects and linked documentation created in Archicad, MEP Designer, and DDScad. It provides game-like 3D navigation and a BIMx hyper-model that links the 3D model with the related 2D documentation, enabling non-design stakeholders to understand design intent and access element-level BIM data.

On site, BIMx connects the field with the office for streamlined collaboration, with real-time model cut-throughs, in-context measuring, live markups, and the ability to present and share project data quickly. BIMx Pro adds advanced features such as BCF-based issue revisioning, hidden elements and layer control, and customizable cut planes. It includes a built-in demo model, optional Graphisoft licensing, and Hyper-models with BIMcloud for team messaging and Pro features. It also supports Google Cardboard VR on iPhone and supports 3D streaming for large models.

## Review summary

BIMx is praised as a powerful client-facing viewer with strong 3D visuals and VR, and serves well as an ArchiCAD companion for quick on-site access to models and documents. However, users report recurring performance problems (slow, glitches, crashes) and update-related bugs (color changes, compatibility issues). Some also find the app hard to learn. Overall, it remains indispensable for client presentations and viewing ArchiCAD exports, but reliability and onboarding could be improved.

### Pros

- Excellent tool for presenting designs to clients and communicating ideas.
- Strong, high-quality 3D visuals with VR features for showcasing models.
- Seamless ArchiCAD companion with easy access to BIMx models.
- Very useful on-site for quickly pulling up documents and references.

### Cons

- Performance issues: slow, glitchy behavior and occasional crashes.
- Post-update issues: color shifts and compatibility/model conversion problems.
- Steep learning curve / not intuitive for beginners.
