It’s a great focus for this hands-on experience that allows 2D CAD users to complete an entire building using 3D BIM processes in literally just a few hours. The Massaro House project used for the BIM Experience Kit is unique: a Frank Lloyd Wright design that was built decades after he created his original drawings. The tutorial may be downloaded along with other free “Interactive Training Guides” (ITG’s) from. It is offered as part of a free 30 day ArchiCAD Trial Version, allowing prospective or new users the opportunity to “get their hands on ArchiCAD” and learn the basics of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This summer, Graphisoft released an innovative interactive tutorial for ArchiCAD called the BIM Experience Kit.

The Model Transfer Service is a cloud-based service for users with an active ArchiCAD Software Services Agreement. Viewers can comment, like and share as well as use customized functions for filtering models. With the community site on Facebook, users can upload models with any ArchiCAD licenses even without a Facebook account.

When ready to share, users can send it as an executable file for Mac or Windows desktops or for iOS and Android devices which can be viewed on a free, downloadable viewer. The app uses real-time 3D navigation with familiar navigation techniques to explore design concepts and alternatives.

The app allows you to view and share designs without any registration. With the BIMx mobile application, users can open and interactively explore 3D Building Information Models (BIM) that had previously been created with ArchiCAD.
