- BIMx Pro features
- Archicad extensions, like Python API, PARAM-O, Maxon Redshift Renderer, Library Parts Maker and additional Surface Catalog
- Training and more.

Architosh Commentary and Analysis
This license option will likely be popular with both solo practitioners and small offices with fewer than five people and who not need to work remotely in a collaborative way. Users can setup BIMcloud Basic on any basic Windows or macOS computer on their network LAN. Today’s powerful Mac mini computers with their high performance per cost ratio are ideal for any office. To add in cloud features however where users can work in teams remotely BIMcloud with cloud-based features will need a subscription plan.
