Getting Started with BimEx: A Beginner's Guide

Welcome to BimEx

Whether you're new to BIM analysis or looking for a more efficient tool, this guide will help you get started with BimEx in no time.

What is BimEx?

BimEx is an AI-powered platform that lets you analyze Building Information Models using natural language queries. Instead of navigating complex software, you simply ask questions about your model.

Getting Started

Step 1: Create Your Account

Visit our website and sign up for an account. You can start with a free trial to explore the platform.

Step 2: Upload Your Model

BimEx supports multiple file formats:

• IFC (2x3, 4, 4.3)
• Revit (.rvt, .rfa)
• Navisworks (.nwd, .nwc)
• And more...

Simply drag and drop your file or use our cloud integrations.

Step 3: Ask Your First Query

Once your model is loaded, try these example queries:

• "How many doors are in this model?"
• "Show me all walls on level 1"
• "What is the total floor area?"

Basic Query Syntax

While you can use natural language, understanding some basics helps:

Element Types:

• Walls, Doors, Windows
• Columns, Beams, Slabs
• Pipes, Ducts, Equipment

Properties:

• Name, Type, Material
• Height, Width, Length
• Level, Zone, System

Operations:

• Count, Sum, Average
• Filter, Group, Sort
• Compare, Highlight

Tips for Better Results

1. Be specific - "Concrete walls on level 2" works better than "walls"
2. Use property names - Reference actual property names from your model
3. Start simple - Build complex queries step by step
