Avec comme consolation, une icône morose, un nom d’enterrement et une misérable année gratuite. Nom seulement l’application remplaçante a un rendu visuel à la baisse (comparée à BIMX PRO), mais en plus la navigation et l’affichage sont saccadés ! Et tout ça présenté comme un « progrès »... Aucun respect pour toutes les personnes qui ont acheté BIMX PRO. Réponse au développeur : Thank you for your “no answer”: No answer about the fact that the app you bought once and for all, is now pay per year. No, having to use a cloud to access our models, our work, is not an improvement. What about when no connection!? And the partial and jerky display that this causes is really deplorable. And for the “free” (because you wanted to make us pay for it !?) measurement tool, I’m sure it was the most important feature to upgrade... Regards, François ### 5/5 — Pease keep supporting this version *2020-07-29, version 2020.2.2758* The graphics in bimx pro are vastly superior to the new bimx or bimx lab. Please keep this around because the either versions are unusable. ### 3/5 — Crashes on Google Cardboard launch *2020-02-25, version 2020.1.2573* The most recent iteration of the app (both pro and standard) crashes on Google Cardboard launch. ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-11-11, version 2019.2.2441* This app is useless ### 5/5 — Excelente aplicación. *2019-02-16, version 2019.1.2100* Una aplicación muy útil. ### 2/5 — Intersting but very unstable! *2019-01-26, version 2019.1.2053* The tool has potential to be very useful. However, I uploaded a very simple model and with only a few views. The app keeps crashing while navigating through the model, even on an iPad Pro with 256mb of RAM and running on Gigabit WiFi! I hope Graphisoft makes this more stable very soon. I could not use this in front of a client, as it works now. ### 2/5 — Very few tools in the pro version *2019-01-10, version 2018.2.1935* Bought the full pro app hoping that the measuring tool was better than it actually is a few features like snap on/ off would be handy. Expensive for what you get over the free viewer so not worth the cost in my opinion Regards Tom ### 5/5 — Excellent tool and presentation format! *2018-10-28, version 2018.2.1844* BIMx Pro is allowing me to present projects that I’ve designed to my clients in a way that is very powerful and impressive. Each client can see their project in a way that is easy for them to understand, and they see me as an architect who employs cutting edge technology for their benefit. For an upcoming discussion, I’ve put together a slide show using BIMx Pro to show them 3D views, plans, and sections - the preparation of which was much easier than I’d imagined. ### 5/5 — Helpful for Understanding *2018-10-13, version 2018.2.1844* Designing a home with Visbeen Architects of Grand Rapids Michigan. Wayne’s creativity is brought to 3 dimensions by Matt, his BIMx team member, allowing for different viewing angles and distances, both inside and outside. My wife and I understand our design and related choices much more deeply. This will allow us to communicate more precisely with our builder and the subs. Also, fun to dream. BIMx is a powerful tool to deliver a better home. ## Frequently asked questions about BIMx (legacy) ### What is BIMx (legacy)?
