Overview

Description

Graphisoft BIMx is a 3D modeling software that enables users to bridge the gap between the design studio and the construction site through the award-winning BIMx, the most popular presentation and coordination application for everyone involved in the project. BIMx has a "BIM Super Model", a game-like navigation tool that helps everyone explore architectural models and understand project results. With Graphisoft, you can easily access and share all relevant model data. With its smart digital model, the platform eliminates the need for manual paper processing at the construction site or during an appointment booking. Users can also access real-time model breakthroughs, contextual measurements, and project markup in the context of the model. Users can run BIMx on every mobile device (Android / IOS) without special hardware and make design decisions and update building models on the go without having to return to the office. The brand's simple and fun navigation makes BIMx the best live design and presentation tool that can immediately advance the designer's narrative on the construction site to obtain quick and specific customer feedback.
