poor quality layouts in bimx

[cocoloco]

hii

I’m testing BIMx for presentations for the first time and I think it’s super cool! However, I noticed that the layouts (floor plans, renderings, and elevations) are showing up in poor quality and with off colors in the BIMx model.

I’m on a Mac, so I used the print settings workaround to save the layouts as a PDF, and there the quality and colors were flawless. But when I save it as bimx hyper model, they appear slightly blurred and darker colors. 

Since one of the main goals is to use BIMx for presentations, I’m a bit confused about the poor layout quality.

Is there a way to export or save the layouts in higher quality into the BIMx Hyper-model?

Hi Benjamin

thank you! We will likely step into the archicad studio, the issue is fixed there as well? Very happy  about it

@Benjamin Dani I work with DDScad and overall adding additional PDFs may be option. When it comes to interaction with site, especially on small / medium tasks, possibility to giving access to freshest set of drawing is essential. There is always a laptop / PC onsite. So uncompressed PDF's are essential.

In general you advertised in ~2022 Archicad tight workflow and tight integration with BIMx, content from marketing videos is still impossible to achieve. Releasing MEP hyper model without possibility to cut / disable / hide certain walls makes it unusable in practice. There is also no connection between floorplans and models. I can be OK with it but after all even essential feature like batch transferring of PDFs to site is also not that well done. There is a publisher set feature, designed especially to BIMx integration (there is no other option for batch exporting of PDFs!) and it's killed by degrading of quality.

still unsolved and layouts in pdf's looks like piece of garbage

hello, how you can mark this topic as solved?

I have reviewed the post marked as a solution and decided to unmark it as it did not offer any solution to the starting post of the topic.

regarding to bimx also, is it required to be signed in to view the files in the app?

Thank you.



How this quality can be even satisfying anyone? Smallest font from this title block is finally 2,5mm (scaled down by 0,5 instead by upscaling 1:100 part model).

It's a joke, isn't it?

I should wish for something that should be essential in AEC software? Are you kidding or what 🙂

Today on the BIMx app (android), I've noticed all the layouts are pixelated and illegible. Complete unusable garbage. On macOS and iOS, the same layouts read fine, so it's not a file issue. And the issue exists on both new BIMx files (created today) and old ones (that have been on the phone for 18+ months). I use BIMx regularly on my phone (Pixel 9 pro) and have never seen this issue before.
