Can't save as BIMx file type?

Anonymous

Hi

I am trying to save a file as BIMx to send to a client but when I go to 'save as' there is no option for BIMx as a file type.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

So you are not having trouble saving the BIMx file, it is the BIMx program just showing the loading progress?
Does it stop or are there any error messages?
Can you open BIMx without opening a file?
Can you open other BIMx files?
Can you crate a simple BIMx (say just 4 walls) and open that?

I am thinking that there is something in your model that BIMx doesn't like.

No error messages.
No
No.
No.

I have not created any objects. Just placed directly from the libraries.
And its not showing any error message when I go for 3D also.

When I save as BIMx file type, It will just show the progress that before going for BIMx, But later the BIMx will not open. Earlier I could do this. but from Day before yesterday its showing like this.

Thank you

If BIMx is no longer opening any old files that it could before then I would be guessing something has happened to the program or your system.

Have you done any system updates recently (manual or automatic)?
Maybe try uninstalling those (restore your system) back to when BIMx was working.
Otherwise try reinstalling BIMx Desktop viewer.
Or reinstall Archicad if the actual saving of the BIMx model is not completing.

Do you have a select agreement where you can get support from the distributor?
