Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Bimx to solve a problem very original as I applied this product to build neuronal networks base in a infraestructure project with the help of a board of engineering. The amazing part of this software as it can integrate a myriad of functions and layers with divergent arguments which gives a welcome overview of related entities.

Pros

Mix functions together
calculate the impact of variables
advanced log book

Cons

integration with 3rd part application
web development
improved backup options

Likelihood to Recommend

If someone has independent projects I believe that Bimx has potential to integrate all divergent functions and gives the view of the projected arrangement. I believe that by doing so, the clients can have a better experience of the final products as the estimated risks are deeply diminished after this kind of elegant analysis.

Easy solution for ARCHICAD users with very nice interactive viewing

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a consultancy company, we advise and educate clients about BIM applications (technology & management process). BIMx is a specific solution to ease a specific problem. When companies are using ARCHICAD, it is an easy-to-use and powerful visualization tool to allow designers to share their design as an interactive model. The ideal use seems to be publishing it for use on an iPad, as that where the main benefit lies.

Pros

(Almost) one-click export from ARCHICAD model to interactive app
Flexible navigation - walk, fly, orbit... with good touch gestures on mobile app
Rich view - especially with the interactive linking of 3D model and 2D drawings
Decent graphical quality - especially with the GI pre-calculated

Cons

It is an out-of-the-box solution for end-users. There is almost no customization possible (e.g. API for developers)
Pricing is a bit confusing with two options for in-app purchase (PRO and Share a Model) and the separate Desktop Viewer
Android version takes a long time to get updated to iOS version
Only for ARCHICAD users. No other software is supported.

Likelihood to Recommend

As an ARCHICAD user, this is almost a no-brainer. BIMx is included (although there are some paying options) and works well out-of-the-box. There is little to setup from the ARCHICAD side. You prepare a set of layouts/views and can publish the model on Ine go. The free version focuses on the 3D-model viewer. You publish an interactive model and can walk through it. With the PRO version, you also can publish the "Hyper-Model" - an integration of 2D and 3D views.

If you are looking at tuning your own interactivity, e.g. in precisely defining what can happen and what information to show, you cannot customize BIMx that way. You have to look at alternatives, such as game engines or other 3D visualization software.
