QRCode to BIMx

<I'm bad at English so I'm using translation.>

 

Retrieve the unique ID of the element from Archicad and convert it to a QR code.

When you scan the QR code you created, it will be highlighted in BIMx.

This mechanism connects reality to BIMx.

 

For example, it can be used for on-site materials management, FacilityManagement, problem sharing, and so on.

This costs no money because it uses only Archicad, BIMx, Google spreadsheets, printers and iPhones.

 

explanation:

[QR to BIMx]

Links can be generated to Archicad members using custom URL schema.

In this case, the QR code was generated from a URL using Google Spreadsheet, but it can also be generated using Python or other tools.

[Appendix1 : Show QRCode in BIMx]

The QR code API can be used to display QR codes on BIMx from all elements.

This allows people who cannot use Archicad to generate and pass QR codes (either in person or via email, etc.).

[Appendix2 : Multiple Elements]

Multiple elements can also be highlighted in a single QR code.

Simply connect the unique IDs with commas.

Note, however, that there is a limit to the length of character string that can be represented by a QR Code.
