BIMFACE is a BIM lightweighting and viewing engine from Glodon. Developers upload native model and drawing files, BIMFACE converts them in the cloud, and the resulting models can be viewed in a browser or on mobile devices without the original authoring software.
It exposes more than 1,000 APIs, so software teams, contractors and owners can build their own BIM, BIM+GIS and digital twin applications for project management, site monitoring and facility operations instead of writing a 3D engine from scratch.
BIMFACE is a cloud engine for lightweighting and displaying building information models, built by Glodon, the Beijing-based construction software company. It is aimed at developers who want to add BIM viewing and model data to their own platforms. Instead of asking every user to install Revit, Navisworks or another authoring tool, a team uploads the original files to BIMFACE, which converts them into a lightweight format that streams to a web browser, tablet or phone.
BIMFACE sits underneath other products rather than acting as a finished end-user app. Glodon lists use cases across the building lifecycle: developers managing projects from a single model, designers building component libraries, contractors simulating and tracking construction progress, and operations teams maintaining MEP systems. Published customer cases include a BIM project management platform for Wanda Group, a smart site and operations platform for Hunan Construction Engineering, and Arup's Neuron digital building platform.
BIMFACE fits software vendors, in-house digital teams at contractors and developers, and system integrators who need a proven BIM viewer and model database inside their own web or mobile product. Glodon says more than 10,000 BIM application providers use it. The main site and documentation are in Chinese, with an English product page on Glodon's international site.

GliderBIM is a Common Data Environment (CDE) for asset owners and AEC professionals to manage project data, models and documentation. It supports open BIM data exchange via IFC and COBie, connecting project teams from design through construction and operation.
3D Repo is a cloud-based BIM collaboration platform for architects, engineers, contractors and asset owners. Teams access live 3D BIM models through a web browser to coordinate design, track issues, detect clashes and compare model versions. It is part of Asite's digital engineering platform following their 2023 acquisition of 3D Repo.
GeoVision is a cloud BIM viewer built on top of Speckle. Custom Revit and Archicad plugins move models into a shareable web viewer where AEC teams collaborate, comment, and version on a single link - clients, contractors, BIM managers - without anyone needing Revit or Archicad installed. A desktop application extends the same workflow with immersive walkthrough and AI photorealistic rendering. Built by Luminocity AG, a Swiss software-development agency in Schaffhausen.
