Anonymous

Hi everyone;

I have a problem about Archicad 18 Bimx. My problem is; Bimx dial command is not active in 3D drawing screen. I can't transfer modellings to BIMx. I'm adding a photo-down menu on the state. Thank you in advance for your help.

A few ideas:
- verify that the BIMx Add-On has been installed correctly: C:\Program Files\GRAPHISOFT\ArchiCAD 18\Add-Ons\BIMx\BIMx.apx
- verify that in Add-On Manager (Option menu) it is not disabled
- if both of these appear to be good re-run the ArchiCAD installer, which will run in repair mode

Let me know the results,

Marton Kiss, Thank you for the answer first. You're right. I did what you say and status of the "Add-Ons menus is;



How can I fix it?

First I would check your Work Environment - make sure you have the default 'Standard" WE applied.

Also when you select it in the Add-on Manager list what does it say in the 'Add-on Info' section?


Then if that doesn't work try re-running the Archicad installer which as Martin said will run in repair mode.
This should fix the BIMx add-on as it is part of Archicad now.

If that doesn't work then I would un-install and re-install completely.

If that doesn't work then post back here or ideally contact you Archicad support person.

Please start the BIMx.exe from the same folder. When it starts up does it show the type of license you have (e.g: commercial, educational)?
I have a feeling that somehow it cannot locate your ArchiCAD license, that also drives BIMx. Do you have a local or a network license key for ArchiCAD?

Hi bestordu,

Could you please check if there's a BIMx_Export_Log.txt file in your Documents folder (C:\Users\username\Documents)?
If yes, please send it to me in pm.

Thanks,
Csaba
