Smoother navigation and enhanced transparency in BIMx Android

2023. May 16. - BIMx Android 2023.4873

This update includes three noticeable changes in addition to the regular bug fixes and stability improvements.

  • The Android app has also received the enhanced transparency described in the iOS announcement below. Shadows are now visible on transparent surfaces like windows and curtain walls, resulting in a more realistic 3D representation – not only in the default Cast shadows render mode.
  • Smoother 3D navigation experience. Explore the virtual model with up to several times higher FPS (Frames Per Second). Increased performance is most noticeable in larger 3D models, mainly consisting of simple geometry elements like walls, slabs, beams, and columns. This improvement was first released on iOS in late November – read more details and see measurements in this article.
  • The required operating system version has been increased from Android 10 to Android 11. BIMx can be installed and updated from Play Store on devices running Android 11 or later.

Enhanced transparency in BIMx iOS

2023. May 15. - BIMx iOS 2023.4854

This update includes two noticeable changes in addition to the regular bug fixes.

  • Visual quality has been further improved with enhanced transparency. Shadows are now visible on transparent surfaces like windows and curtain walls, resulting in a more realistic 3D representation. 
    See the right side of the comparison:
    BIMx transparency comparison.jpg
    Note: this enhancement is available in other shading options like Realistic and Simple shading. Future Web and Desktop updates will also receive it. 
  • The required operating system version has been increased from iOS 13 to iOS 15. BIMx can be installed and updated from App Store on devices running iOS 15 or later.

BIMx 2015 Q1 Update - Simplified licensing with BIMx PRO

iOS App version 3.6.353 BIMx Docs has been renamed to BIMx PRO. This change doesn't affect the existing features in any way and doesn't contain any addition to what BIMx Docs had. With the update BIMx Docs becomes BIMx PRO. Simplified Licensing

GRAPHISOFT simplifies BIMx licensing options for iOS devices. From this point two licensing options are available:

  • purchasing a license for all models on one device (suitable for architects)
  • sharing a license for one model with other parties for an unlimited amount of time (architects can share the model with all AEC stakeholders)

 Just like before, BIMx is the free app offering In-App purchases and BIMx PRO is the paid app containing all extras by default. Read more about the new simplified licensing options in our BIMx Licensing article.

Faster Model Download

This update brings a significant improvement to model download speed. Larger file downloads from the BIMx Model Transfer cloud service remain stable even when the app is in the background.
