Improved IFC importer
New license server
Named viewpoints
3D-markup creation in Desktop Mode
Collaborative planning in VR (BETA)
VR-mode is currently only supported on NVIDIA graphics cards!
Running BIMXplorer directly from Revit 2021-2024 may lead to periodic frame rate drops (due to Revit background processes). Saving the file (.bmx) and open in standalone version of BIMXplorer will solve such issues.
2023-08-01
Improved filtering (include/exclude)
IFC export (selected/visible/everything)
Revit 2023 and 2024 support
FBX import
Updated SketchUp importer
(Yes, you can now import FBX- or SketchUp-files and then export to IFC)
Improved rendering performance
Improved IFC importer
Quantities calculated from geometry during IFC-import
Improved support for touch-screens (navigation, interaction, etc.)

2022-03-21
Support for VIVE Focus 3
NOTE: The VIVE Business Streaming Software is needed in order to use the HMD together with a PC.
2022-02-22
BCF support
Native support for joystick navigation on HP Reverb G1/G2
Revit 2022 support
New efficient file format (.bmx). Faster to load and typically only 10-20% of old file format size.
Improved rendering performance
Improved IFC importer
Support for touch-screens (navigation, interaction, etc.)
2021-01-04
Multi-User support (beta)
Set section plane from IFC storeys/levels
"Quick jump" to specific storey/level
Revit 2021 support
Improved IFC importer and faster loading of .grx-files
2020-08-26
Updated IFC importer
New dimensioning tool with center (c/c) snapping for pipes and rebars
Watch the new dimensioning tool
(It is still possible to load .grx-files saved from a previous version of BIMXplorer. However, in order for the new snapping functionality to work corrctly, do a clean import of IFC-files!)
VR-mode is currently only supported on NVIDIA graphics cards!
"Motion Smoothing" in OpenVR (HTC Vive) may lead to "shimmering" effects. Depending on scene, it may be better to turn this feature OFF!
Running BIMXplorer directly from Revit 2020 may lead to periodic frame rate drops (due to Revit background processes). Saving the file (.grx) and open in standalone version of BIMXplorer will solve such issues.
2020-04-16
Fixed missing fonts/icons in the VR GUI when BIMXplorer is started from Revit
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!
