This tutorial sheds some light on Graphisoft's new BIMx Docs technology that was recently launched. It is a “Hyper-model” technology that brings the benefits of Building Information Models to the dynamic touch screen environment of mobile devices. Its integrated, context-sensitive, 2D and 3D building project navigation with smooth transitions can help even non-professionals find their way in a BIM project. Because BIMx Hyper-models are model-based, context-sensitive hyperlinks with a specific orientation in the 3D space and on 2D drawings, they add an extra dimension to understanding the model while simply navigating in it.
