Introduction and overview
Page 3 - 5
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.
