BIMx Explorer | GRAPHISOFT New Zealand - BIM Solutions

Using GRAPHISOFT BIM Explorer and ArchiCAD architects and designers can explore their project designs with greater clarity than ever before.

Real-time 3D navigation in an architectural design – enhanced with gravity, layer control, fly-mode, egress recognition and pre-saved walkthroughs for the ultimate design exploration.

Element information – surface finishes, volumes, sizes and quantities – can also be displayed with a click of the mouse. Exact measurements can be taken during the real-time walkthrough to help design decisions and forecast cost related design issues.

BIM Explorer provides shaded, Open-GL or Global Illumination view styles combined with grayscale, hidden-line or edge-outlined presentation modes for the ultimate design understanding and communication.

The Sun altitude and azimuth; the camera height and viewing cone as well as the image brightness and transparency can be altered for professional project presentation and design communication.

• Simple rendering styles such as "Goraud" and "Metal" allow fast and smooth navigation in very large models even with basic video cards.
• The built-in shaded Open-GL rendering engine ensures professional presentation quality with cast shadows and realistic surface textures. Edge outline can also be activated to provide greater contrast between elements.
• The "Global Illumination" mode - produced by the built-in radiosity rendering engine allows even more realistic visualization – incorporating soft shadows and diffuse inter-reflections.

Share your design intent and the architectural project with virtually anyone without installing any application or learning any new software. Since BIM Explorer stores the projects in an unprotected, self-running application file format, viewers don't need to hold a license of GRAPHISOFT ArchiCAD or BIM Explorer to navigate in the models.

All stakeholders - clients, consultants, builders, etc. - can explore and fully understand the entire architectural project design at any stage of the design development process in a user friendly 3D navigation environment.
