About the App
BIMx – BIM eXplorer makes it easy to step inside your building projects and actually understand them—without digging through stacks of printed plans. Built by Graphisoft SE, this Productivity app lets you move between rich 3D models and their linked 2D drawings in a way that feels natural and fast. Prefer a larger screen? You can also open it on BlueStacks and navigate with a mouse just like you’d expect.
