https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/BIMx/IMPORT-from-old-BIMx-exe-into-Archicad-23/m-p/273324#M501 Yes, you are right! I know that it is just an easier way to show our clients our work but I was hopping I can use something from it. Technically, there should be a way, that file has all the data needed to re-create the actual model.<BR /> Also, I thought that Archicad can import and use all the data that it can export. In the same time. I think would be logic. Even though I understand that it would be a problem to share our project this way, is not like that file contains all the notations, dimensions etc. - there is still enough work to complete the base idea that is shared by that BIMx.<BR /> Our clients want the same project they did few years ago - in different location with very small adaptations. All they have are the file I just mentioned. There is enough, but I thought there should be a way to import that BIMx to make things easier.

I opened it with BIMx desktop viewer and there is the 3D model. I was wondering if there is a possibility to import this data into Archicad and have a project base. I have some PDFs but I want to make my work easier. <BR />I need to redraw an entire project and all I have is a folder with plans (PDFs) and that *.exe file. <BR />Thank you!</DIV> Tue, 09 May 2023 15:16:05 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/BIMx/IMPORT-from-old-BIMx-exe-into-Archicad-23/m-p/273322#M499 Anonymous 2023-05-09T15:16:05Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/BIMx/IMPORT-from-old-BIMx-exe-into-Archicad-23/m-p/273323#M500 I doubt you will be able to get any meaningful archicad data out of it (or any 3D model at all), it was just a way for clients to explore the model without the need to install software around that time.<BR /> <BR /> I doubt you would be able to do much (or anything) with a current BIMx file in Archicad either.<BR /> <BR /> I would hope so anyway, or I would not be freely sharing our projects this way.
