Trying to open BIMx files on the online web viewer

Hi all.  I am trying to open my BIMx models directly in the online web viewer, but they just keep churning and won't open.  Anyone have any insight as to why this is happening?  I've tried several of my models.  Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you very much for your question!

Could you please give us more insight on the issue:

  • in what status do you experience the loading stuck?
  • in which browser did you try to open the model? 
  • is it happening in other browsers too?
  • is it working in incognito mode?
  • have you tried reloading the webpage after deleting the cache? 
    (in Chrome this can be done by following the steps here; cmd+shift+r keyboard shortcut)
  • is it possible to reproduce the issue in the sample model too?

 

If none of the above helps, please write an e-mail to BIMx@Graphisoft.com and send us the problematic BIMx Hyper-model for further investigation.

Kind regards,

@archanom FYI we just updated BIMx Web Viewer to version 4389 on BIMx Model Transfer which might resolve this issue. See more details in BIMx News. Note that we're working on a next-gen browser and desktop application, bringing improved loading performance and other benefits within a few months.
Feel free to reach out to our BIMx experts on the above-mentioned mailbox (our primary support channel) if the loading issue still persists or if you have any other questions.

That's great news.  Thank you Roland.

I've hit a bit of a snag trying to open my BIMx models directly in the online web viewer. No matter which model I try, they just keep churning away without actually opening. It's like they're stuck in a perpetual loading loop. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what might be causing it. Any tip would be much appreciated.

Please check if any other models load, e.g. this one: https://bimx.graphisoft.com/model/e1741614-826b-4412-a1da-a7b76ada0e6a

Also, ensure you have enough (5+ GB) free disk space and use a supported browser


If only your models fail to load, please send a report mail from BIMx Web's loading error dialog. Such an email includes useful technical details. Alternatively, send the model's URL directly to bimx@graphisoft.com, and our Technical Support Team will investigate the issue soon.
