Once exported by our architects, the BIMx file can be viewed on any PC, MAC, tablet, and/or mobile device with the FREE downloadable viewer. The project model is developed in Archicad, a 3D Architectural BIM software for design and modeling developed by Graphisoft, and exported as a BIMx model. They are able to “walk-thru” the spaces and see design features, colors, textures, finishes, and get a feel for the spatial relationships throughout the entire project, prior to the start of construction. Technology has been changing and evolving, providing a better way to present projects to our clients that has a more visual approach.īuilding Information Model Explorer or BIMx for short, is an interactive 3D visualization tool that allows us to present the building model to our clients so they can experience the model in a “real world” scenario. Most clients have an inexperienced eye for understanding plans, sections, and elevations shown on design or construction documents. “I can’t see my building”, “I can’t imagine what it looks like” or “I don’t understand a floor plan or elevation” are statements heard from clients when looking at 2D drawings. Having the client involved throughout the design and construction process is essential. Embarking on a project of that size without seeing a “final” product until after completion can be frustrating and unnerving. Imagine that same approach on a larger scale project, such as the renovation of a corporate office building or construction of a new school. Whether it’s a DIY or a hired professional project, “seeing” your vision isn’t fulfilled until the project is complete. Remodeling a room in your home can sometimes be a daunting task consisting of countless hours of gathering “inspirational images” for design ideas, selecting colors and furniture, and numerous trips to home improvement stores.
