How to take model to bimx in Archicad 21

Re: bimx

Roopa:

It has to be Published. Look for the command Publish BIMx Hyper-model... to walk you through the steps.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

It is not working - if so what is the problem?
Or you just can't find the 'Publish to BIMx Hyper-model' command in the File menu? - if so do you have the standard work environment set.

Or from the 3D window you can FILE menu > SAVE AS and change to BIMx file type.

Check also the Add-on Manager (Options menu) to make sure the BIMx add-on is installed correctly.
If not I think you have to re-install Archicad as it is part of the installation.

I tired Publish to BIMx Hyper-model command also there when it is publishing its not publishing BIMx.
And even I tried File> Save as command also it is not opening in BIMx. Nothing is showing.
Direct BIMx is also not opening.
I re-installed it still the same problem.

Try saving to desktop, maybe the path you are saving to is giving issues (network location, long path name, etc).

How to change the vectorial hatching or add new own hatchings to materials.

So can we assume you have BIMx working now?

To change the vectorial hatching you have to edit the surfaces in Archicad.
However BIMx does not show vectorial hatching - only the OpenGL materials.

So if you are now enquiring about something else it is best to start a new post in the appropriate section of the forum.

In androids we cant see the movie created and saved by BIMx. They installed BIMx viewer in their mobile.
If possible, how to see?

From Archicad 20 and 21 onwards BIMx is not there?
While installing Archicad it will also install in last till Archicad 19 versions.
But from 20 it is not?
How to get BIMx from 20 onwards?

It should install automatically with 20 and 21 as well.
If not you can download the desktop viewer from the Graphisoft website.

But this BIMx viewer is only to view the model,. We cant create animation and global illumination in this.

That is all BIMx is - a viewer of the model.

What do you mean by animation?
Just a set camera path (fly through)? - camera paths can be saved in the publisher set.

Or are you looking for opening doors, moving cars, walking people, etc.? - limited animation for some objects may be available in a fly-through which should translate to BIMx with the fly-through but if you are just viewing the model in BIMx there will be no animation.

Global Illumination can be set in the options when you publish to BIMx.

If we install BIMx viewer in android mobile phones, it cant play the video what we have created and saved from ac 18 or ac 19?
The client has to open and pan around and see or is there any option for that?
In earlier BIMx viewer the video will be played automatically when they open the BIM file in their android.

Re: bimx

Erwin Edel — Tue, 12 Sep 2017 09:46:25 GMT

If you are publishing the BIMx, make sure you clone the camera path and include that clone in your publishing set. You can now set option for this to export as gallery items or single movie.

If you are saving from 3D window, set this option there.

You can also limit navigation to only gallery/movie here.
