## What is BIMx?

Graphisoft’s BIMx is an interactive app for exploring BIM projects and linked documentation sets created in Archicad, MEP Designer, 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.

Features:
• Hyperlinked 2D & 3D views with interactive markers
• Trace 2D drawings on 3D with animation
• Access project and building component-related BIM information
• Superfast 2D documentation viewer
• Game-like 3D navigation

### 1/5 — Difficult signing

*2026-02-19, version 2025.6899*

There is not support at all … I have 3 new construction projects, I can only have access to 1 of them

### 5/5 — Issue Resolved

*2025-09-09, version 2025.6744*

Edit -  There was a server/dns issue preventing model download. That issue has been resolved.

### 1/5 — poor server management.

*2025-09-01*

Server is broken. Downloading models is not longer possible because of a “communication error”
Emails to the team seem to be going into the ether so downvoting here along with others in the hopes Graphisoft will address the issue.

**Developer response:** Dear Architecturegeek, the issue has been fixed. Thank you for reporting it!

### 1/5 — Problem to login.

*2025-08-11, version 2025.6744*

Problem to login not helping

### 5/5 — Worth Updating

*2025-05-22, version 2025.6651*

Latest version has a ton of great improvements. Huge improvement! I don’t say this often, as most updates to software are change for the sake of change these days, but this one is good.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2025-02-22, version 2024.6078*

Won’t let me add binxmodels on my phone - log in does not work in my iPhone

### 5/5 — Good for clients

*2024-10-15*

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.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your detailed review!
BIMx has a 2D and 3D markup tool based on BCF, with integration into Archicad:

### 5/5 — 💡✨ ArchiCAD App for iPad Pro M2: Optimization Request 🏗️🔥

*2023-10-27, version 2023.5234*

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.

### 3/5 — SMH

*2023-02-17, version 2022.4548*

In all honesty, It is very efficient for the job site. I bring it with me every day it’s nice to quickly pull up a set of  documentations. However, the downfall is that no annotations can be made on it. This is something that is needed and then exported to ArchiCAD so I can make revisions they need to implement this to take this to the Perfect companion up for ArchiCAD. One should be able to export the annotation to ArchiCAD, and have the review tool imported.

### 1/5 — Impossible and unintuitive

*2023-02-01, version 2022.4548*

Why do developers offer an app that is impossible to figure out how to use?
