BIMx is a Windows tool for exploring 3D models of buildings created in Archicad and DDScad. Users can overlay 2D drawings onto three dimensional objects with animations, bridging the gap between traditional documentation and modern visualization.

Project exploration

After importing the source file the program will automatically render the corresponding building model. You are able to navigate through hyperlinked 2D and 3D views, enhancing engagement and understanding of intricate design details. Moreover, it is possible to access custom markers that provide more context.

There is support for joystick controls to facilitate immersive walkthrough experiences. Users can visualize building components in real time with dynamic cutaway views, which is helpful when exploring spatial relationships between individual objects.

Advanced capabilities

Instruments to utilize shading, shadow casting and sun positioning for rendering realistic environments based on the current date and time are included. This allows you to focus on more important aspects of the projects by automating the visualization process. Additionally, distances and angles between separate design elements can be measured with a high degree of precision to provide essential data for project assessments.
