Using the organizer, Add Shortcuts or drag the views for BIMx and BIMx Gallery items to the BIMx Publisher Set.

You do not need a Graphisoft ID to save a local copy, but you will get some warnings when publishing- more on that later. You want to make sure you are Saving a local copy with a correct destination.

Make sure the Publisher Set dedicated to saving BIMx is set up properly.

If you have a view already dedicated to BIMx in your view map, but it is not exporting correctly, you may need to update it to include view restrictions such as marquee limitations.

It is important to note that the 3d View that will generate the BIMx file needs to have the correct view settings, cutting planes, marquee, elements, and view location/orientation/position saved in the view map. You can use the Organizer to save the camera path(s) you want to include in the BIMx file for animation or still gallery views.

Save the desired camera’s AND 3d view to the View Map.

This is most frequently caused by the view the BIMx is being saved from not being updated from the current 3d view. One of the big questions I get is ‘why is my BIMx file opening in a random location?’. We now need to use the publisher to save BIMx, which means we need dedicated View Map content for our BIMx files.

We can no longer simply save a BIMx file from a 3d window.

One significant change to AC20 is the output method for saving a BIMx file.
