Hi, the VIM Tool executable is a paid enterprise product. If your organization is an enterprise customer of VIM, please contact us through VIM Cloud. You can sign into VIM Cloud at https://www.vimaec.com
Is there any other way to convert to VIMX?
Is there any other way to convert to VIMX?
The VIMX file format is currently under active development and testing. Our current plan is to implement the VIM to VIMX file conversion process in the VIM Tool command line executable. Once the implementation is complete, we intend on documenting the VIMX file format and publishing the source code for reading and writing VIMX files in the vim-format open source repository.
Out of curiosity, what your use case for the VIM Tool and the VIMX file format?
Our company is going to choose a high performance scheme to view the bim model. Recently, we are doing testing and research. We are interested in this.
Thanks! I'd be happy to hear about the specifics of your use case and what kind of model scale you're looking at.
Can you try the Vimx converter? Or will rvt plug-in be opened to convert Vimx later? I want to try our model
We're currently performing some internal tests of the VIMX file format, which expands on our original VIM file format. Our current goal is to validate the performance improvements of VIMX in the context of our PowerBI custom visual. We are not yet ready to release VIMX out into the wild before we complete these tests.
In the meantime, have you tried using the VIM file format? It may already satisfy your performance needs! You can sign up to https://www.vimaec.com, and download our installer which installs a Revit plugin to export VIM files. You can view these files in the VIM Desktop App for Windows (which also comes with the installer), and you can upload these files to VIM Cloud to view them in our WebGL viewer (the core code of which is being maintained in this repository), or create PowerBI reports for further analysis.
If you want to get your hands dirty with the VIM webgl viewer, you can try out the live JSFiddles we posted here: https://github.com/vimaec/vim-webgl-viewer?tab=readme-ov-file#live-demo
Goal
Implement a VIMX file which can be consumed by the VIM webgl viewer to render the geometry in a manner which improves the time to first presentation.
