BIM services for viewers, digital twins, and indoor models

BimEx is a BIM services company that scopes, builds, and hands off browser-based model workflows for AEC and facilities teams. We deliver Autodesk Platform Services (APS) viewers—including digital twin dashboards, rule-driven configurators, and IoT device layers—custom openBIM IFC viewers with optional IoT, HVAC intelligence experiences, BIM digital twins that connect geometry to spaces and assets, and scan-to-BIM indoor modeling for ops-ready interiors. We are not a generic AI chatbot SaaS. Hire us when you need production viewers or twins that stakeholders open every week, with documentation so your team can maintain the stack after launch.

Yes. APS (formerly Forge) viewer implementation is a core BimEx practice. We build production browser viewers on Autodesk Platform Services so stakeholders can inspect Revit, Navisworks, DWG, and related models without desktop BIM seats. Engagements typically cover Model Derivative pipelines, branded viewer UX, authentication, optional digital twin / configurator / IoT modules, and handoff into your Autodesk account and hosting. Models usually stay in your own APS buckets under your control.

Choose a custom IFC (openBIM) viewer when IFC is already your delivery standard, when stakeholders use mixed authoring tools, or when you want branded viewing without depending on an Autodesk-only cloud pipeline. Choose APS when your workflow centers on native Revit, Navisworks, or DWG and you need Autodesk’s Model Derivative translation in the browser. Both paths can support IoT overlays; the decision follows formats, licensing, and hosting preferences. See our APS vs IFC comparison guide for a side-by-side table, then start from the matching service page.

Indoor modeling and scan-to-BIM at BimEx produce accurate interior geometry from point clouds, drawings, or existing models so facilities, digital twin, and retrofit teams have a reliable spatial baseline. We prioritize spaces, walls, doors, and key MEP equipment at the detail level operators need for navigation, asset placement, and sensor mapping—not decorative LOD for marketing renders. Deliverables are typically Revit and IFC exports structured for APS viewers, custom IFC viewers, twins, or IoT layers, with scope notes so future updates stay coherent.

No. The free BimEx IFC viewer at /ifc-viewer is a quick browser tool for opening IFC2x3 and IFC4 files; it does not open native Revit (.rvt) files. A custom IFC viewer engagement adds your branding, permissions, property panels, discipline filters, sharing workflows, optional IoT layers, hosting in your environment, and handoff documentation for recurring multi-stakeholder review. Use the free tool to check a file today; engage us when the viewer must behave like your product or project portal.

For APS projects we work with formats Autodesk’s Model Derivative service translates, including Revit (.rvt), Navisworks, DWG, and IFC. Custom openBIM viewers are built around IFC2x3 and IFC4. The free IFC viewer on this site opens IFC files only—export native Revit models to IFC first. Indoor modeling handoffs are typically Revit plus IFC so the same geometry feeds either viewer path. We confirm your exact files, linked models, and export settings during discovery because those choices affect translation quality and load performance.

Model data stays in the accounts and infrastructure agreed for your project—typically your own APS buckets or cloud environment—not a shared BimEx tenancy by default. We scope access, retention, and handoff during discovery and can work under your NDA and security requirements before reviewing files. At delivery you receive the viewer source, configuration, and documentation agreed in scope so your team owns ongoing access control. We do not invent star ratings, review counts, or local office addresses in marketing or schema.

Owners, contractors, VDC leads, facilities operators, and product teams hire BimEx when they need production APS or IFC viewers, digital twins, IoT-on-BIM overlays, HVAC intelligence, or scan-to-BIM baselines—not a demo that dies after a pilot. Send a brief through the contact form with model formats, platforms, users, and timeline. We reply within one business day, then run a short discovery to agree scope, milestones, and handoff before development starts. Email official.bimex@gmail.com or use the contact page to begin.
