2D/3D Hypermodel without BIMx PRO

Laszlo Nagy — Tue, 09 May 2023 14:01:51 GMT

GRAPHISOFT today announced a new update for BIMx.
The most important news is that 2D/3D Hypermodel is available even in BIMx, so you don't have to buy BIMx PRO to have this capability.

What is the best way to "share" a hyper model? Can I simply email it to someone who has the latest bimx app? I used to do that successfully with just the 3d model. But, I tried this with a published hyper model and it doesn't download at the other end. Any suggestions?

Awesome news!

Can't wait to try this stuff out finally across '4' platforms (OSX, iOS, windows and android) being used in our office.

Thanks Marc. Fairly simple.

The caveat to this announcement is that Android devices do not have all the same capabilities and controls as IOS. This disappoints me because I paid for the Android Pro version and would expect it to mimic the IPad/IOS verion.

Please change the Android app quickly.

I can't find any missing features at a first glance between iPad and my Sony tablet running Android 5.1.1.

Did you update the app?

'Smart measure' is missing on Android.

Ah, sorry, the pro app.

So...I know one guru here posted a link on a series of 4 youtube videos that (ahem) explain how to share the hyper-model but 's very cryptic.

Seems that I have not a clue how to "see" my hypermodel in my list.
I'm registered in the BIMx.graphisoft.com site.
I'm a registered Graphisoft client.
I have my own copy of Archicad 20 - legal copy.
Yet....Its very confusing how to load up the model to where and how to send the link to the clients.
My BIMx Model loader kinda just stalls....sits there...don't know if it's actually doing anything. Then a day or two later I get some sort of an email but I'm not sure if it's the latest model or not.
I'm excited about the Google Cardboard and have used it on smaller projects but it's always some sort of voo-doo BIM when comes to understanding "exactly" where these models reside and how I can get a direct link to the clients.

Rob:
Click the Name of the folder.
That opens a list of your uploaded models.
Click the model name and you'll see
a link to download or send a link.

Is that what you meant?

Hi Guys,

the revised BimX Free and BimX Pro solution from GS is definitely the way to go, now we are giving them to all of our clients and contractors and they love them. Also interestingly the contractors are showing interest in our upgrading our BIM Server to BIM Cloud because now they have a taste of what is possible, they want to take it to the next level of being able to use it as a site query tool as well. Great stuff.
One small point that is holding BimX back from being the ultimate tool is the lack of a PC version of the App, it's really important that this gets done as soon as possible. It's really crazy that I can generate a hyperlinked BimX document on my PC, but I have to load it onto an iPad to test it!

Cheers, Dan.
