BIMx Web Viewer vs p3d.in

BIMx Web Viewer lets people explore a BIMx Hyper-model in a browser without installing a program or downloading an app. A Hyper-model combines linked 2D project documents, embedded BIM data, and 3D models. Hyper-models can be created in Archicad or DDScad and published locally, to BIMx Model Transfer, to BIMcloud, or elsewhere. The Measure tool supports length, angle, and area measurements in 2D, with measurement guides in 3D. Users can play presentations based on Gallery views or Favorites, with automatic transitions between views. Favorites are saved in the browser and are not included when a Hyper-model is shared. BIMx Pro features include hiding 3D elements, controlling layer visibility, and changing the cut plane; Model Transfer access requires an eligible company membership and Graphisoft ID sign-in. Browser support varies by operating system: Windows lists Chrome, Edge, and Firefox; macOS lists Safari, Chrome, and Firefox; Android lists Chrome. The system requirements list iOS and iPadOS as unsupported. The viewer is free, and Graphisoft provides online help and a support contact.

p3d.in is an online 3D model-sharing platform and community for animation and visualization projects. Models open in modern browsers without plugins and can be shared by link or embedded on websites with configurable viewer settings. Upload support includes OBJ with MTL files and textures, while the listed formats also include glTF, GLB, FBX, and STL. Hotspots can mark details, move the camera, show descriptions, control animations, and contain nested hotspots. Variants can hide or show model parts for different configurations, including product configurators described as requiring no coding. Compatible models can be viewed in augmented reality through a suitable Android or iOS camera without another app. Models may be public, unlisted, or private; unlisted links can be viewed by anyone with the URL, while private models are owner-only. Plus and higher accounts can use the JavaScript Embed API to control animations, textures, variants, camera movement, and hotspots in web apps. Basic is free with 100MB storage and model size. Plus costs $6 a month, and Premium costs $50 a month.
