Anonymous — Tue, 09 May 2023 12:10:31 GMT

hello,
is there a way to publish a model of the exterior only and does not allow you to go inside? I want to share a model with a client put it is not finished out on the interior.
Thanks

If internal walls were on their own layer you could turn that layer off, as well as any internal fixtures and furnishings. When you Save As from the 3D window only visible items are exported. Your client could still go inside, but there would be nothing for them to see.

You could try filling the inside with a big slab temporarily, the BIMx app might then stop entry into the building. It could also stop them looking through the windows if you haven't used obscure glass.
