How to save Bimx settings

Anonymous
Not applicable
When I open the Bimx model on my computer I have to change many of the settings. Is there a way to save the settings? Also, when someone in the office opens the Bimx model they need to have the settings I've saved.

Files can no longer be saved in the BIMx desktop program.
Which I think is a real shame.
As you say, you can't tweak the settings and then re-save it.

This is really horrible. Clients that want to explore their prospective house won't want to tweak all the settings to get the optimal viewing experience. This must be fixed! Should this be in the wish list section?

Sure, make a wish.
There may already be one there - I had a quick search but didn't find anything.

Fortunately there aren't to many settings to tweak and the defaults are usually OK unless you want to play.

Global illumination has to be set in Archicad as this can no longer be done in BIMx if it was not done in Archicad, and if it is set it becomes the default render mode automatically.
