FAQ's

BimXplorer is a virtual reality (VR) program designed for exploring and interacting with 3D Building Information Models (BIM). It allows users to visualize and experience complex building data in an immersive virtual environment.

Yes, in addition to IFC (2x3 and 4), BIMXplorer can import FBX, SketchUp (.skp), and 3ds-files.

Using BimXplorer in VR enhances understanding and communication of building projects. It enables stakeholders to identify potential design flaws, evaluate spatial layouts, and make informed decisions in a realistic 3D environment.

BimXplorer supports a wide range of BIM data, including architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical information. You can explore elements such as walls, floors, HVAC systems, and more, all within the VR environment.

BimXplorer is compatible with popular VR hardware, including devices like Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. Make sure your hardware meets the recommended specifications for a smooth experience.

Yes, BimXplorer facilitates collaborative exploration. Multiple users can join the same virtual space simultaneously, enabling real-time discussions and decision-making, regardless of geographical location.

Yes, BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) is supported so you can take snapshots of design issues directly in VR and then export those for use in other BIM-systems (e.g. Solibri, BIMCollab Zoom).

Yes, by using the Filtering Manager it is possible to control visibility, color, and transparency based on object properties, like making all beams that are longer than 8 meters red, or hide everything except objects on the seventh floor.

Yes, you can export 3D-data to an IFC-file (IFC4). Possible export options are: EVERYTHING, SELECTED, or VISIBLE.
