BimX and GOTO MEETING

I still can't get BimX and GotoMeeting to work with AC17... It will show the initial view, but no navigation live....


Anyone?

I had this problem a couple of years ago and was told it is something to do with how BIMx (VBE back then) takes over the screen and blocks out all other running programs.

I haven't had any success with any screen sharing programs yet to share BIMx.

Graphisoft please fix this! It will constitute about half of what I do with BimX...

Not sure that they can fix it easily, Duane. BIMx pretty much takes over the entire OpenGL environment and doesn't behave like a normal, windowed app.

Make a wish. I'd vote essential with you.

Duane,

we will check what we can do. Most probably, as Karl said it won't be easy to make OpenGL work through such screen sharing, but we will check what options we have.

Hi Duane
It's actually very easy to use ArchiCad in full screen mode for online meetings or presentations (or in the boardroom even).
1. Activate ArchiCad's full screen mode
2. Use 3D Explore to navigate the model just like in BIMx
3. From the top Menu bar you can use all ArchiCad's functions as you normally would from your user interface

It really works well and is very easy.
