This openness is only made greater by the plethora of tablets and smart phones.Ī time limitation for download is an artificial barrier.īy limiting the download link time of a BIMx Docs file, it means model authors can easily share the file for one week. Everyone can access it and everyone can receive it whenever they want. The beauty of (for instance) a PDF is that it is open and infinite. We pay again and again for printed documents because each print takes discrete resources. That’s not a huge deal, right? But this arbitrary time limitation will also hold back the adoption of BIMx Docs as the great tool that it should be. And for late comers to the team, they can just pay the $9.99 themselves. $39.99 for everyone to get their sets is a steal, compared to the old ways. This new BIMx pricing is really no different. You send the files to the printer and then they all get delivered (one way or another) to the recipients in a given amount of time. Every time you have to print sets it costs money. This aligns well with tradition and isn’t that unreasonable. Think of it like putting out a bid set-everyone has seven days to receive the documents. I am very disappointed with the seven day window limitation for the download links of the new BIMx Docs pricing option, but I guess I can see the reasoning. Oh and then there’s a few hundred word rant… (I’ve got an e-mail out to Graphisoft to verify I’m understanding things correctly I’m not optimistic that I am wrong). Jared’s note: before you read the official press release from Graphisoft, here’s a simple graphic I created that explains everything about the new pricing scheme.
