Introduction and overview

X-BIM CAD Browser

X-BIM CAD Browser…

…has been developed in order to make designing safer and

easier for you. 3D modeling was used in many engineering

departments even before BIM.

No expert design is possible without product data from

manufacturers. X-BIM CAD Browser allows you to use

specific TROX components and TROX air handling units

with your Revit or AutoCAD application.

You can use the X-BIM CAD Browser also very easily to

create formats such as DWG, DXF, and IFC. This makes

three-dimensional planning with TROX products possible

with almost all model-based planning tools.

Installation and Update

General information & what to consider before and after

installation or update

The free installation file of the X-BIM CAD Browser can be

found in the BIM section of the TROX homepage and on the

liNear website (www.linear.eu) in the Data Sets TROX

section.

The X-BIM CAD Browser must be closed before installing an

update.

After installing or updating the X-BIM CAD Browser, please

also restart the Revit or AutoCAD application once to ensure

that the applications are properly linked.
