The Architect’s Newspaper’s 2024 Best of Products Awards in the Technology: Design & Build Software category has recognized BIMx with Apple Vision Pro for its ability to deliver a rich BIM experience to all stakeholders involved in building design, delivery, and operations. Developed by Graphisoft, BIMx serves as the bridge that connects the design studio with the construction site, enabling seamless collaboration and communication throughout a project’s lifecycle.
BIMx with Apple Vision Pro allows architects to involve clients and stakeholders as design concepts develop and are showcased. The impressive visual elements promote comprehension and clarity when challenges arise during projects or when clients are unsure about options. Accessing striking visuals from anywhere allows teams to bring the plans to the job site for easy reference during construction. This strengthens the connection between the design studio, the client’s office, and the construction site.
“In today’s dynamic construction and design landscape, architects and designers who embrace digital transformation can streamline workflows and reduce environmental impacts,” said Márton Kiss, vice president of Product Success at Graphisoft. “BIMx with Apple Vision Pro dynamically presents 3D models,including all necessary metadata, and revolutionizes how projects are visualized and managed.”
“BIMx is really nice. It’s a very seamless user interface where you have your BIM model, and then you also have the drawing set overlaid onto it so you can navigate your entire drawing set through the model and pull up details,” said Andre Herrero, jury member, and founding principal of Charlap Hyman & Herrero. “Integrating that into an experiential thing like Vision Pro is really nice for clients and contractors on site. I totally support this.”
The model streaming technology found in BIMx with Apple Vision Pro effortlessly handles projects of any size. It provides synergy between BIM (Building Information Modeling) databases with facilities management, ensuring a seamless flow of information. Enhanced security measures for model transfer safeguard valuable data, while advanced visualization techniques, including precise sun positioning features, elevate project realism to new heights. Furthermore, the ability to accurately depict airspace according to specific times of day significantly enhances the realism and accuracy of project presentations, making them more efficient and engaging for all stakeholders involved.
