  • 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.)

Notes

  1. VR-mode is currently only supported on NVIDIA graphics cards!

  2. 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.
