Increased capacity means architects can host all their project files in one secure BIMcloud location, while BIMx can be accessed from the BIMcloud desktop app for faster, more convenient collaboration and visualization.
Graphisoft, the leading Building Information Modeling software solution developer for architecture, today announced significant enhancements to BIMx and BIMcloud that boost security, storage space, and visualization and collaboration capabilities. In addition, the new 3D BIMx engine is now available for Android users as well.
Award-winning BIMx, the most popular presentation and coordination app for all project stakeholders, bridges the gap between the design studio, the client’s office, and the construction site. BIMx features the BIMx ‘Hyper-model’ – a game-like navigation tool that helps anyone easily explore the building model and understand project deliverables. Real-time model cut-throughs, in-context measuring, and project markups in the model context make BIMx the architect’s best anywhere BIM companion.
Thanks to BIMcloud’s, architects can rely on secure, real-time collaboration between project team members regardless of the size or complexity of the project, the location of the offices, or the speed of the internet connection. Award-winning

BIMx + BIMcloud@ — Best together
Integrated with Archicad 25, Graphisoft’s BIMx and BIMcloud@ are better than ever — together. BIMcloud has been rebooted with a new, 100K file capacity per instance, and opened up so that users can host all their project files in one convenient location. In addition, the BIMx desktop viewer opens all 2D and 3D files, with access from the BIMcloud desktop app — what’s more, the new 3D BIMx engine is now available for Android users as well.
Users will be able to keep their security-sensitive BIMx Hyper-models on their own BIMcloud while enjoying the same sharing benefits the BIMx Transfer site provides. No data caps means users can control their own storage space and upload any number of models.
Faster backups lessen the impact on daily project management, reducing the storage space required during the BIMcloud backup process.
BIMx models on BIMcloud@
BIMcloud will have a BIMx web viewer built right in, enabling users to visualize the design on the fly, using BIMx Hyper-models without installing any app on mobile devices — a simple web browser will do. This leads to a better understanding by all stakeholders of the building design through visual exploration.

BIMcloud@ SaaS license transfer
Smaller practices and sole practitioners will appreciate the new “BIMcloud SaaS license transfer” — perfect for pooling resources while delivering projects in Joint Ventures, without any hidden costs.
By utilizing the flexibility of a Graphisoft ID, they can identify themselves across the BIMcloud SaaS network, and bring their own BIMcloud license to participate in projects. This will greatly enhance the competitiveness of architects and engineers who can easily form flexible design teams and work on much larger projects together.
