BIM Explorer pricing
The IFC viewer is free and always will be. BIM Explorer Pro is an optional one-off upgrade for quantity surveyors, estimators and BIM coordinators - takeoff, a BOQ linked to the model, and IDS and clash checks.
Open IFC 2x3, IFC4 and IFC 4.3 models, read every property, colour by property, floor plans on screen, the quantity check, sections, measuring and BCF issues. No time limit, no account.
Bought once through the Microsoft Store. No subscription. Try it free for 7 days first.
