BIMx

BIMx is the free BIM viewer for Archicad

Share your model with owners, contractors, and site teams on any device. Nordic BIM Group sets up the Archicad publishing workflow and trains your team and theirs.

Available in Finland Norway Sweden

Your Archicad model only delivers when everyone can see it.

Most of the value in a BIM model lives outside the design team. Contractors price it. Site teams build to it. Owners decide on it. If those people cannot open the model, the model is a stack of PDFs and a screen share. BIMx puts the full model in their hand, with the 2D plans and the 3D linked together.

Plans go out as PDFs. Contractors flip to the page they need, miss the rest and call to ask. The model already has the answer, but no one outside the design team can get to it.

Publish once. Open anywhere.

bimx-publish-from-archicad

1.
Publish from Archicad in a few clicks

From inside Archicad, save the project as a BIMx hypermodel. The hypermodel bundles your 2D layouts, the 3D model, and the BIM data with hyperlinks across all of them. One file.

2.
Share by link, embed, or private invite

Upload to the Graphisoft Model Transfer site for a public link. Embed the BIMx Web Viewer on your own project page. Or share privately to selected recipients on an Archicad subscription.

3.
Open, navigate, measure, mark up

Recipients open the hypermodel on iPad, phone, Mac, Windows, or in the browser. Walk the building game-style. Tap from 2D to 3D and back. Measure, hide layers, slice the model, and capture issues.

What BIMx adds to the Archicad workflow

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-building
Hypermodel: 2D and 3D in one file

The BIMx hypermodel carries your layouts, your 3D model and the BIM data, with hyperlinks across all three. Drawings and the model stay in sync.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-retail-web-viewer
Works on any device

iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, web browser and Apple Vision Pro. The same hypermodel opens on all of them. The web version needs no installation.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-CNC-output
Measure, hide, slice, mark up

Recipients walk the building, hide layers, slice through the model, take measurements and capture issues right against the geometry.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-BCF
BIMx Issues, BCF compliant

Annotations and issues stay with the 2D and 3D views. They are BCF compliant, so they travel back to Archicad and into the rest of the BIM workflow.

Built for sharing the design with everyone in the value chain

Architects publish the BIM model. Everyone else opens it where they actually work. On a site cabin laptop. On the developer's iPad. On a phone in a Teams meeting. BIMx is built around that asymmetry. The architect carries the publishing rights and the BIM authoring depth. The contractor, the owner and the site team get a viewer that needs no training, no extra license and no specialist hardware.

  • Architects publishing the model. Send your hypermodel out with a link, or embed it on your own website.
  • House builders and contractors on site. Open the design on a tablet next to the work. Measure where you need to.
  • Owners and operators reviewing the design. See the drawings and the 3D together, on any device.
  • Engineers and coordinators marking issues. Capture BCF-compliant notes that travel back to Archicad.

Bimx-lives-inside-archicad

BIMx lives inside Archicad

BIMx is part of the Archicad workflow. The hypermodel is published from inside the model in a few clicks. Share it as a public link through the Graphisoft Model Transfer site, embed it on your own website with the BIMx Web Viewer, or invite selected recipients privately on an Archicad subscription.

The free apps cover the base. BIMx Pro features come with Archicad subscriptions on Subscriber, SSA, Forward and Archicad Collaborate plans, and unlock when you sign in with a Graphisoft account. The full Archicad, BIMcloud and BIMx workflow is what Nordic BIM Group sets up, trains and supports across Finland, Norway and Sweden.

What you get from Nordic BIM Group

BIMx is a free app. The working practice behind it is not. Nordic BIM Group sets up the Archicad publishing workflow, trains your team and your stakeholders and stays with you when the project changes.

Nordic-BIM-Group-Icons-Implimentation-Snow

Workflow setup with your team

We configure Archicad publishing into BIMx against your templates, your BIMcloud project structure and the stakeholders you actually share with. Setting it up once, against the way your team works, is the difference between a working practice and an unused app.

nb_education_outline_white

In-language training, in person or remote

We train the publishing team on hypermodels, hyperlinks, Presenter and Issues. We onboard the receiving stakeholders on how to use a BIMx file at their desk or on site. Finnish, Norwegian, or Swedish, with trainers who know Archicad.

nordicbim_support_white

Local team, your language

When something needs a real conversation, a local Nordic BIM Group team picks up the phone. Same timezone as the project. Same language as the project. Specialists with decades inside Archicad and the BIMx workflow that runs on top of it.
