When comparing two BIM models side by side, it wasn't always obvious at a glance which model had passed QA/QC and which was still pending review — and navigating each viewer independently made spatial comparison slow and error-prone.
Two changes land together in the BIM viewer's comparison mode to address this.
Verified and unverified models now display in distinct color schemes. A model that has passed verification renders in full color — architecture, MEP systems, and furniture each appear in their standard category colors across all 83 element categories. A model that is unverified or pending renders in a professional grayscale palette. The color shift is automatic and tied to each model's verification status, so you don't need to configure anything. A verification badge in the comparison header also labels each model's status explicitly.
This makes it immediately clear, in a single view, which version of a model is the reviewed deliverable and which is a draft or work in progress. When you're handing a comparison to a project team or reviewing changes across a building portfolio, the visual distinction removes ambiguity before anyone opens a file.
Camera sync keeps both viewers locked to the same vantage point. A new Camera Sync toggle appears in the BIM toolbar when comparison mode is active. Turn it on and navigating in either viewer — panning, orbiting, zooming — moves both viewers together. Turn it off to navigate each model independently. The control is in the toolbar at the top of the comparison view, labeled Sync Camera.
This is most useful when you're checking whether a specific element — a mechanical shaft, a structural wall, a corridor width — is modeled consistently between two versions. Without sync, finding the same spot in both viewers requires manual navigation twice. With sync, you move once and both views follow.
Both features are available in the BIM viewer whenever comparison mode is active. No changes are needed to your project settings or order configuration to see them.
