Settings affecting BIMx are found in two locations:
- the iPhone/iPad’s own Device Settings, and
- the BIMx Application Settings, accessible while you are running BIMx.
iPhone/iPad Device Settings
Click the Settings icon of your mobile device.
 |  |
From the appearing Settings page, choose BIMx from the list of apps on the left to bring up the following Settings:
Smooth Contours (Antialiasing)
This is OFF by default. Turning it ON may improve the model display by rendering it with smoother lines (fewer pixels). However, turning Antialiasing ON will increase the memory requirement and probably slow down your navigation.
Left-handed
Moves Joystick to the left of your screen. (Handy for left-handed users.)
Reverse Rotate and Pan Direction
This control changes the effect when you rotate/pan using your fingers. By default, this control is OFF; this means that, by default, moving your fingers will have the effect of moving the viewed scene in the same direction as your fingers.
If you turn this control ON, rotate/pan will have the opposite effect: your head (not the viewed scene) will rotate or pan in the same direction that you move your fingers.
BIMx Application Settings
Click the Settings button (cogwheel icon) shown at the top of the screen while BIMx is running:
 |  |
Change any of the following settings, then click Done to return to the model. (On iPad, these Settings are in a pop-up, allowing you to see the effect of the Settings changes immediately.)
Map
Turn this ON to display a simplified “map” of the building segment that you are currently navigating, as a feedback and aid to navigation.
 |
Stereo 3D
Turn this ON to use red-cyan glasses to view the model.
Shading
Choose your preferred style for viewing the building:
- Realistic (Global illumination, no contours)
- Hidden line
- Simple Shading (Shading, textures, contours on, limited transparency)
- Metal (Shading, no textures, contours on, full transparency, “shiny” effect)
- Stored in Model (other Shading setting applied to the original BIMx model in the Desktop Application)
Fly
This is OFF by default. See: Fly.
Navigation Speed
Slow, normal, fast. This adjusts your movement speed while you are navigating by joystick.
