BIMx - Walk mode / joystick missing?

sknsnw9 — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 13:47:44 GMT

Am I missing something. Seems like one of the recent update; the joystick, gravity, and walk mode is missing on both, my iPhone BIMx app and Desktop. I'm not able to walk inside the model, same thing with my client that I sent the file over to. I even tried to use the shortcut (J) for joystick and (G) for gravity according this page: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/BIMx/Navigation-in-BIMx/ta-p/303642 and it still didn't work.

Hi there,

It seems like your 3D model view is using parallel projection, which makes the navigation control impossible.
You can switch between parallel and perspective projection at the bottom right Display Menu.

In whichever projection mode you export your 3D model from Archicad, by default it will open in BIMx in the same.

Ah, that was it. Thanks for pointing that out. Thought that I had my BimX model views saved as perspective views in Archicad. Guess it wasn't in this case.
