See Location Settings in Archicad User Guide. The basic shading is replaced on all 3D models except ones using Global Illumination – in this case, turning off Ambient Occlusion will display the model with GI. The skybox also changes in BIMx with project orientation, but only for models exported from Archicad 26. It helps to display the model more realistically according to Location Settings defined when exporting from Archicad 21-26. The previous Headlight basic rendering has been replaced: south-facing sides are lit with a light warm color, and north-facing sides are slightly darkened. The source of light was not aligned to the Sun in the skybox.

The skybox didn’t follow the project orientation either.

The old Headlight (view the scene as if there were a lamp on your head) basic rendering or Global Illumination (GI) didn’t consider the Location Settings defined in Archicad.

New basic rendering that reflects project orientationīIMx Web Viewer and Desktop Viewer couldn’t visually differentiate the virtual building’s south and north-facing sides. This article describes the recent updates that introduce the benefits of BIMx’s new, more modern 3D model format and our on-the-fly rendering already used in the mobile apps.ġ.

This year, we made BIMx Web Viewer available on BIMcloud too. That version could open not only the 3D model but the 2D documentation as well, use hyperlinks between 2D and 3D, and display BIM data associated with elements. Last year, we introduced the renewed BIMx Desktop Viewer that was based on the BIMx Web Viewer. The updated BIMx Web Viewer version 2022.4026 is already available on BIMx Model Transfer and opens Hyper-models in a new browser tab instead of the smaller embedded frame.īIMx Web Viewer is available on BIMcloud as well. The new product version is part of the Archicad package and it can also be downloaded from here. BIMx Desktop Viewer version 2022.4025 was released with Archicad 26 on J.
