Version 1.5.6 is out!
We are continuously dedicated to improving your experience with BIMXplorer, and in our latest update, we have resolved an issue that has been addressed:
Improved VR GUI Visuals: We understand that attention to detail is crucial when working in the virtual realm. Therefore, we have taken steps to ensure that the VR GUI within BIMXplorer is now more visually refined and comprehensive. Specifically, we have fixed the problem of missing fonts and icons that some users encountered when starting BIMXplorer directly from Revit.
This enhancement not only eliminates any previous issues but also enhances the overall aesthetic and usability of the VR interface, making your virtual exploration and project management more efficient and visually pleasing. Our commitment to delivering a seamless and visually appealing experience remains unwavering as we continue to strive for excellence in every aspect of BIMXplorer.

Notes
Running BIMXplorer directly from Revit 2020 may lead to periodic frame rate drops due to Revit background processes. To resolve these performance issues, save the file (.grx) and open it in the standalone version of BIMXplorer.
Please note that VR-mode is currently only supported on NVIDIA graphics cards.
Enabling "Motion Smoothing" in OpenVR (HTC Vive) may lead to "shimmering" effects. Depending on the scene, it may be better to turn this feature OFF!
