Hi Serg,

My educated guess is that your architect used Graphic Override to achieve those colourful beams, but during the exporting process (s)he didn't include them to the BIMx model.

The preview thumbnail and the actual picture differs because the thumbnail is generated during the export ("how Archicad sees it") but what you actually see within BIMx is real-time rendered by BIMx itself ("how BIMx sees it").

If you would like to see the colourful beams, unfortunately you have to contact to the person who exported them, and ask for another version which includes the Graphic Override.
