Requirements

BIMviews uses the latest technologies, that are not always available on any system.

Minimum requirements

You need a browser with Web Socket support. Also if you are connecting through a proxy server (chances are high if you work at a large corporation), that proxy server needs to support Web Sockets.

3D

For viewing in 3D you need:

  • A videocard + drivers supporting OpenGL
  • A browser with WebGL support that is also enabled (a recent version of Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera or Safari)

Internet Explorer might work, but we do not support it, and we never will.

Safari on windows is not supported (by Apple anymore). Safari on OSX requires you to explicitly enable WebGL http://onvert.com/guides/enable-webgl-safari/.
