Some of these tools have paid for versions allowing further functionality but this list is designed to assist those without paid for tools open various file formats for viewing (and in some cases other functionality such as commenting or clash detection).

Hyper-models created with GRAPHISOFT Archicad can be shared with anyone who has either a mobile or desktop version of BIMx app. The BIMx Desktop Viewer is a native Mac/Win application that allows you to navigate in the virtual architectural project (saved in bimx file format) on desktop computers and notebooks.
