BIMx Fly gone

[adk_michael]

The new BIMx seems to have eliminated the "Fly" option!  Who else finds it impossible to navigate through the models now?  Suggestions as to how to navigate, I have trouble with the key board approach and the joystick.

I have to say I agree

I must say I agree that changing it from one to two hands was a bad decision. It was so easy to navigate a model in the app when I could move around as walking through with just one finger. I appreciate other apps and standards may use two, and therefore giving that option - but one handed/finger navigation was incredibly easy and efficient and removing this as an option was a bad idea. Is there any way this could be brought back as an option for navigation?

Dear All, thanks for all the feedback.

I'm pleased to share that one-handed walk mode is back. It's available on mobile as an option in addition to the default two-handed controls. The new toggle adds rotation to movement with the joystick.

You can find more details in the Navigation in BIMx article. Check other components of the recent update in BIMx News.

Please try it out and let us know what you think!

Very good job @Roland Szabo 👏👏.

only Microsoft store doesn’t show an update for BIMX desktop app, so with every update for BIMX I need to uninstall & reinstall it to get the recent version, is it my own problem?

[Roland Szabo]

I have never heard about such an app-updating issue. All the mobile and desktop apps are automatically updated from the stores (until this default function is enabled). Please check this Microsoft Store setting. If it doesn't help, mail us at bimx@graphisoft.com and we'll look into it.

That is great! I'm glad to see that Graphisoft listened to user feedback.

HI @Roland Szabo 

I checked that Microsoft store settings for app updates and it's set to On.

Never mind, I'll check that again at the next BIMX update, thanks for your support.
