Simplebim 11.0 (14.5.2025)

Dataflows for easier automated BIM data wrangling. The tools and Excel templates from older Simplebim versions can be used as steps in the new dataflows.
New simplified start-up window
New Trimmer Mode. Previously Simplebim had a dedicated trimmer workspace for deciding which objects and properties are included. Now there is a universal Trimmer Mode and include/exclude decisions can be made in any workspace.
New Home workspace (previously Trimmer workspace). In the Home workspace it is now possible to show only included objects in the 3D window (Trimmer Mode = Off) and in this case the 3D buckets used for trimming don’t waste screen real-estate.
New tools for
- Adding properties
- Copying property values
- Adding and modifying groups
- Including/excluding objects and properties
- Setting and resetting the appearance of objects
- Moving objects to container
- Proximity
