poor quality layouts in bimx

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.
