Open FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers for evaluation and procurement.
Do model files leave the device or Microsoft tenant?+−
Supported viewer workflows parse and render files in the browser. Files remain on the device or in the Microsoft storage location selected by the customer unless a user explicitly saves or shares content elsewhere.
Which openBIM versions are supported?+−
The current published product supports IFC 2x3, IFC 4, IFC 4x3, BCF 2.1 and 3.0, and IDS 1.0 validation.
Can users open more than one model?+−
Yes. Federated review supports multiple discipline models in the same viewer session.
How do we install the Microsoft apps?+−
Use Microsoft AppSource for the applicable SharePoint, Teams, or Excel experience and follow the product-specific administrator guidance in the documentation.
Can the viewer be embedded in another product?+−
Yes. Start with the JavaScript and TypeScript SDK for in-app viewing, use hosted deep links for a viewing handoff, or discuss Enterprise white-label and OEM licensing. Advanced interfaces and data connections are available on request.
