Prepare Model for the Display in the BIM Viewer (V.2022.02 Demo)

Note: Before visualizing a model in the Archibus BIM Viewer or in any of the Technologies  / Innovative Solutions / Forge Integration example views, you must enable hardware acceleration for your web browser; this improves the speed at which models load. In some organizations, your IT department might mange this setting for you; thus, if you cannot enable it yourself, please contact your IT department.

For Archibus V.2022.02, the BIM Viewer is for demonstration purposes and connects only to the Archibus Autodesk account. Customer-facing onboarding will be available in V.2022.03.

If you are doing demonstrations and using one of our servers, you can use the SmartClient Extension for Revit to publish a new model; the model will be published to our Autodesk account, and the model will be visible for all demonstration environments.
