Making Bids Come to Life with Virtual Building Explorer


Greater use of 3D by Architects has undoubtedly helped in the communication of designs, but these generally rely on static views or at best defined “walk-throughs”. GRAPHISOFT® has just introduced the innovative and unique Virtual Building™ Explorer (VBE) and so the process of communicating a design has taken a giant leap forward.

A VBE file, produced with a couple of clicks from an ArchiCAD® building information model, can be given to a client, contractor or builder to enable them to freely explore in 3D the context and design of a building project, internally or externally. The file is self contained and needs no additional software. The navigation controls are simple and intuitive and follows the principles behind computer games.
