What bimplan is
View, check and coordinate models with ease.
bimplan focuses on the essentials: viewing, understanding and analysing models. Using Open BIM, it brings models from different disciplines together into a single view.
bimplan is developed in line with the buildingSMART standard and integrated with winplan. Our IFC viewer guide (in German) explains how IFC viewers work in general.
Who is bimplan for?
- Project teams that need to view models without administering them
- Design teams that need a shared 3D view in meetings
- Site and project managers reviewing models
- Teams that want to use BIM without additional infrastructure
