Graphisoft BIMx vs Open IFC Viewer

Graphisoft BIMx brings layouts, 3D models, and BIM data together in a .bimx file for architects, engineers, construction teams, and clients. It supports game-like navigation through 3D models and links from Hyper-models to project documentation. BIMx Issues lets users mark up 2D and 3D views, with BCF-compliant issues. Presenter and Gallery support presentations and client exploration, while the Web Viewer can be embedded on a website. Users can inspect building-element details such as fire ratings and manufacturer-specific properties. Graphisoft says facility managers and owners can connect Facilities Management databases with models for maintenance. Models can be shared by web link through BIMx Model Transfer; private Hyper-model sharing is for Graphisoft Subscribers, SSA, and Forward users. BIMx is free on the web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Opening projects in the mobile and desktop apps requires a registered Graphisoft ID; without signing in, users can access sample content and one additional custom model. After sign-in, authentication can last up to one year with occasional online access, or up to seven days offline.
