VIM Flex

VIM Flex is a brand new application built with our native high-performance rendering technology to give you the fastest insights about your BIM projects.

Free Trial 🎁

To kick things off, check the table above for a Free VIM Flex Trial License to try out all the workflows!

Explore

The "Explore" workflow is free in VIM Flex. Use it to open and inspect your VIM files.

• All you need is a .vim file.

• No SQL or Power BI required.

• Open huge projects in seconds.

• Replaces the previous VIM Desktop application.

• Flexibly group your elements to get the counts you need.

• Section and isolate your model with intuitive controls.

• Run VIM Ultra to stream your projects in Power BI.

• Enjoy light mode or dark mode.

Mesh Audit

Use the "Mesh Audit" workflow to find the complex elements that are slowing things down in Revit, Navisworks, or IFC.

Diff

Use the "Diff" workflow to compare VIM files. You can quickly identify what was removed, added, and modified.

VIM Enterprise

In VIM Enterprise, we've implemented a new simplified process to convert VIM files into Parquet files. This massively improves the refresh times in Power BI. With VIM to Parquet, SQL Server is no longer required! 🎉.

Documentation Update

For more information on migrating to these new changes, please see Creating a Project using Revit and Updating a VIM Power BI Report.

• Updated VIM Power BI report templates:

  • The VIM Parquet Power BI report data model has been significantly re-worked to improve performance with large models. Please contact us if you need help porting your previous custom reports.

  • The VIM SQL Power BI report templates have been deprecated, however you can still use this release with your existing VIM SQL Power BI reports.

  • Updated VIM custom visual with bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements (v0.103.2.0)

• Fixed a timeout resulting in "FailedDownload" errors in ACC projects.
