At the same time, BIM models are large, complex, and highly-integrated databases that have been difficult to port to handheld devices with satisfactory results,” says Miklos Szovenyi-Lux, Vice President of Product Management at GRAPHISOFT. “Demand for access to BIM projects off-site, or even off-line on mobile devices has been increasing in recent years. With BIMx, Graphisoft puts BIM into the hands of all stakeholders not actively involved in the actual creation of the BIM model such as contractors, builders, clients, owners, and principals of design practices. Archicad users have been able to publish self-running BIMx models for their clients to run on desktop computers (Win/Mac) – now BIMx models are making their debut on the iPad/iPhone with a purpose-built app directly linked to the BIMx community for “social” model sharing on Facebook. The integrated model sharing community on Facebook will help spread this innovative technology among architects and clients.īIMx ( Building Information Model E xplorer) is an interactive environment with game-like navigation, whereby anyone can explore full BIM models without holding a license of the professional authoring software in which the building model was originally created. GRAPHISOFT BIMx™, the ultimate communication and presentation tool for BIM projects, will soon be available for iOS devices as well. BUDAPEST, Septem– GRAPHISOFT announced today its latest innovation for the iPad/iPhone.
