General FAQs

Does VIM offer plans for students?

VIM Cloud FAQs

What is VIM Cloud?

When you upload VIM files to the Cloud dashboard, they become sharable across your team and available for download to your desktop or other VIM apps.

Is there a file size limit?

Well, we haven't found one yet. The largest project we've processed and loaded is 42gb (450 linked files), and we're still going strong. If you have a project larger than that, give it a shot, and let us know how it works.

How do I upload a VIM file to my Cloud account?

First, you'll need to be logged into your VIM Cloud account. Once logged in you'll be able to create folders and upload files from the user interface.

How do I share a project that's been uploaded to VIM Cloud?

Easy! When you upload your VIM project, you'll find a share link on the VIM for WebGL application and Business Intelligence reports windows. You can find the link in the upper right of the user interface.

How do I download a report from my VIM Cloud account?

Make sure you're logged into to your VIM Cloud Conversion account, locate the file you want to download, select the file, and click the download button.

VIM Enterprise FAQs

How can I get started with VIM Enterprise?

Please contact us to begin your VIM Enterprise trial.

Why isn't the VIM format compressed?

In HTTP server/clientscenarios the web-client (e.g. a browser) will automatically decompress contentthat is compressed (e.g. using gzip) and served with the appropriate contentencoding header. This decompression is optimized and happens in native code,and as a result is faster and simpler than requiring the client code todecompress content.

What is VIM Enterprise?

VIM Enterprise is a Windows desktop application that automates the export process from Revit, ACC, or IFC and transfers the data into an SQL database and into an Azure Blob Storage account so that your BIM data can be queried and visualized in PowerBI.
