BimGo 1.0.0

First public release of BimGo: first-person walkthroughs of Revit models, with live editing back into Revit.

Install

  1. Download BimGo-Setup-1.0.0.exe below and run it (per user, no admin rights needed).
  2. Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" because the installer isn't code-signed yet: choose More info → Run anyway.
  3. Revit 2025, 2026 or 2027 found on your PC? Keep BimGo for Revit ticked. The first time Revit starts, choose Always Load when it asks about the BimGo add-in.

Then in Revit: BimGo tab → Go, or open any .bimgo file directly. New to BimGo? Start with the user guide.

Highlights

  • Live sessions with Revit: walk the model and demolish, move, copy or place families straight into Revit; changes in Revit refresh with F5.
  • Standalone .bimgo files: share a walkthrough with anyone (no Revit needed), then push its edits back into Revit later.
  • Nine tool guns: scan, measure, portal, comment, teleport, demolish, gizmo, clone, place.
  • Review: comments as issues with markup and BCF, section box, colour profiles, room data checks, grids, clash detection.
  • Lighting and studies: sun and shadows from the model's site, artificial lights with IES profiles, sun hours and daylight studies.
  • Presentation: photo mode with 360° panoramas, bookmark tours, camera paths, MP4 video, kiosk mode for public screens.
  • Controls: fully rebindable keys and gamepad support.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a graphics card with OpenGL 3.3 or later.
  • For the add-in: Revit 2025, 2026 or 2027.

Known issues

  • The installer and add-in aren't code-signed yet, so Windows and Revit will warn the first time (see Install above).
  • Sun and daylight studies are early design indicators, not compliance calculations.
  • Full list: Known limitations.
