BIMx now requires login?

[Rex Maximilian]

Am I to understand that BIMx now requires a login to open and view models? So when we send our clients a link to the BIMx app, and then a link to our model, they have to create a Graphisoft account?

Given how development resources are spent on improving the visualisation and not not just information capabilities of BIMx it is quite strange not to make it easily shareable/accessible . The comparison in this case should be made to the standalone functionality of enscape - not  project management services.

Imagine if Adobe had pulled the same stunt with the PDF format... just because Autodesk do something, it doesn't mean Graphisoft has to do the same. Innovation & leadership isn’t achieved through cloning your competitor, it comes from listening to your customers and exceeding their needs.

The decision is short sighted and will be counter productive to something that until the recent change was giving Graphisoft & AC users a distinct publicity and market advantage.

Excellent comparison between PDF viewer and BIMx viewer.
