BIMx - BIM eXplorer
- even on the job site.
If you are an architect using ARCHICAD, BIMx is the perfect tool to present and/or share your designs with clients and contractors. In addition to making the entire workflow virtually hassle-free, BIMx will save you considerable money and the misery that comes with printing plans. You can unlock the additional BIMx PRO functionality for all of your current and future projects in one step – all for the price of printing one complete documentation set. If you are not an architect but are involved in a construction project, just ask your architect to share the project’s BIMx Hyper-model to your mobile device.
Features include:
- BIMx Hyper-model
- Superfast 2D documentation viewer
- Fly & Walk mode
- Gravity & Egress recognition
- Hyperlinked 2D & 3D
- Access to any building component-related BIM information
- Real-time 3D cutaway
- Trace 2D drawings on 3D
- Photo-realistic mode
- Stereo 3D mode
- Google Cloud Print support*
- Finger controls (zoom, pan, rotate)
- Option to access a Hyper-model element from outside of the app*
- Location feedback during navigation
- Google Cardboard VR support on phones
* Note: To access this additional productivity feature of the BIMx app, you must purchase the 'BIMx PRO' function pack which is available as an in-app billing option inside the app. With BIMx PRO, you will gain access to these features of all your projects.
You can explore the advanced features of BIMx PRO for free either on the built-in demo model or on the model featured under the following link: https://bimx.graphisoft.com/model/details/h/25

I love this app it's really good , but you really need to work on the navigation its very bad , try to look at some games like "crusiders of light " or those fortnite games look-like in andriod . They did an amzing job using the wheel and the screen for moving . Also u need to add a way to flip the controls some people like to swipe left to look right and some other people like to swipe right to go right ...kind like first person shooter games . Otherwise, i can't wait what you gone do next with this app , it has so much potential. You just need to work on the navigation more Keep up the good work
Loaded the initial version of the file in nov, all worked fine. Then received the updated version of the file, and nothing, can use the + sign to load the new model. Uninstalled the Bimx app multiple times, double checked that the app has permissions to file system, restarted the phone as well. Came to look at the reviews and see that everybody is unhappy... and dont tell me to write an email, i dont work for your testing team...
Very handy on the construction site, eases communication with craftsmen.
App not working on pixel 5. I open the app and press the + button to load a file, it says importing file and then nothing happens. It used to work perfectly on my OnePlus 6T. But for some reason it does not work on pixel 5 Edit: I contacted support and they responded right away and fixed my issue. Excellent support. Changing my rating to 5 starts now
Solid app. Love it! The interface is simple enough and it works well on most devices whatever the specs. Oh, also the way it transitions between 2D and 3D is just splendid. Definitely recommend!
The app was workong ok until the last update. Since updating I cannot use the 3D viewer mode anymore (Pixel 2XL, Android 10), rendering the app useless for me. Edit: four months and several updates later, even after reinstalling the app, it is still broken.
For whatever reason this app works great on my Samsung tablet but will not work at all on my Pixel3. I have been troubleshooting for days and have come to the conclusion that it can't be me. Has to be compatibility with this particular version of Android. Anyone else with a Pixel experienced this?
A very intuitive and practical tool for all stakeholders involved in the construction sector. Easy to use for just anyone and conveys the basic information about the building easily. Thank you very much!!
perfect job to graphsoft. its just that I have not been able to utilize BIMx on my computer. I love your work, your improvement and your efforts to make work easier for all architect. thank you.
An excellent, free app, but it is ignoring my rotation settings and is watching gyroscope always. Despite that no issues. Reported this problem and got quick response + confirmation it will be addressed in the future.
When I can get the updates on the model to load, the app is awesome. Having issues getting past 16% on downloading a new model and then it just stops. I'm using a Samsung S6-Lite tablet. Is this tablet not compatible?
This app. is above amazing it has all the features a professional design and build app. has and even more. It truly is a cut above any other app. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to better their career or just impress friends ,famly. A big thanks to the developers at BIMx for such a wonderful app.
September 14 This app has never worked on my Samsung Galaxy 10 despite attempting to import my model at least 20 times using the + function, studying the FAQs, and exchanging a number of emails with supposed help support. Just to prove I'm not a complete idiot and don't know my way around technology, I was able to successfully install the desktop viewer on my laptop on the first try and have been able to view the model there, however, my laptop does not fit in my pocket, or purse, so it's highly inconvenient to not have ready access on my phone.
Constantly has issues in navigation. It magically flips between being able to easily looks around versus pivoting on a point in the middle... So hard and unpredictable
A great way to showcase design and to communicate design intent on the go. Invaluable in communication with builders, clients and specialists. If you use Archicad, then there is no reason to not use BIMx as well. If you don't use Archicad... Well, then you should start.
THIS IS SO AWESOME!! I love this app. The navigation is bit hard but overall the app is great. You can download many models that is needed. Thank you very much.
Pretty cool app, they do on CAD than this shows up, takes a long time. Amazing for young architects like me who are easy to use technology and don't need to print out or show on this tablet.
This is a great app to view your Archicad files..It gives a 360 view of the building and also we can walk through it. It also shows all the information regarding the elements in the whole project.
This app was written by people which hate others. Even simple navigation with zoom in/zoom out it's extremely unpleasant process. I don't understand how apps with UX like this can exist in 2021.
Bought this subscription because I thought it opened up features to create your own 3d models. Not simply view your pre made and others design. Google play will not refund even though I deleted and contacted them minutes after purchasing. Feel like $50 was stolen from me.
what an awesome apps it is! love it much! do you have an BIMx - BIM creator in apk version? That functions with my htc one mobile phone? so that i could experience as well my design in this kind of apps. please response. thanks. 4 stars for now i give. 1 star is reserve for developing an apk on this.
I can't add any BIMx hyper model file on a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It works perfectly fine on other devices such as Samsung Note 10 or Samsung Galaxy S9+.
wow, as an engineer I was looking for an architect app for a church foyer remodel and we do not have wifi at our house yet, so I have to use my phone and this app looks like its it, wow! :), and thanx, want to purchase it but cant find purchase info :)
Why this app specifically needs access to external storages especially photos and other stuff? Don't you think it's breaching of individual's privacy? Only when allowed we can use this app. Very much disappointed.
A very useful app for viewing the model as well as drawings at the same time on devices rather than carrying and checking bunch of sheets.
well done. help is compact and useful. base functionality is enough for a basic viewer.
A handy tool but could be so much better. An anotate feature would be useful in 2d drawing mode. The measure feature would be useful it it would 'snap' to features/lines in 2d mode. Would also be good to be able to share drawings with dimensions from the measurement tool on. Its a shame the bimx explorer user cant decide on the section views they can see rather than the architect.
