Interactive model viewer that lets clients explore BIM models on a phone or tablet.
Why we recommend it
It gives non-technical clients a way to actually explore the building rather than interpret drawings, which removes a lot of misunderstanding late in a project.
Strengths
- Clients can explore models on their own devices
- Combines 2D drawings and 3D navigation
- Free viewer app
Drawbacks
- Publishing requires Archicad
- Not a modelling tool
