goBIM - View BIM Models on your iPhone
I think BIM models are cool. I think the iPhone is cool. So naturally, I thought the ability to view BIM on your iPhone would be cool beyond words. Little did I know that building a simple, functional, good looking piece of software for viewing BIM models on the iPhone would take nearly a year and turn my brain into mush. But here it is, now in alpha testing.
Using goBIM:
We’ve tried to make goBIM as simple to use as possible. Everything you need to get your geometry onto your iPhone should be available in just a few clicks. Currently, the goBIM exporter is only available for Revit. Exporters are under way for Rhino and Digital Project, so please keep checking back.
goBIM for Revit:
◦goBim for Revit will appear as a button in Revit 2010’s “Add-Ins” menu. When you click on the “Export to goBIM” button a dialogue will appear asking for a file address. This is the location where your goBIM file will be saved.
◦When you click export, the selected Revit geometry will be exported. It’s up to you to put it in a location on your server where the goBIM iPhone application will have access to it.*
