Important notes
- To increase BIMcloud's security, the BIMx Web application will only work if the browser connects to BIMcloud via https. BIMcloud SaaS always uses the more secure https connection. In the case of an http connection of BIMcloud on-premises, BIMx Web will not be available embedded into BIMcloud. The only exception to this is if the browser is run on the server computer and localhost is included in the URL. (http://localhost:<port>)
- If the https communication channel cannot be solved, then the best solution is to use the BIMx Desktop or the BIMx Mobile application.
- Please note: updating the BIMcloud Manager is not enough to guarantee the smooth operation of BIMx in the updated BIMcloud. The BIMcloud Server component must also be updated to get the full benefits and to access BIMx.
