Solibri Anywhere — The Complete Guide: Viewing BIM Models and Check Results
Solibri Anywhere is the free viewer from Solibri, one of the leading BIM quality assurance systems. It runs on Windows and macOS. Good to know: since April 2026 Solibri classifies it as a legacy product — existing users can keep using it free on versions before 26.4.0, but newer releases have no free entitlement, and new users can no longer obtain it.

Solibri’s IFC viewer, now a legacy product — free only for existing users who stay on versions before 26.4.0.
Get it from the vendorWhat you get
- Model opening — IFC and Solibri files.
- 3D display — navigation, sections and measurement.
- Check results — clashes, rule violations and coordination issues found in the full edition.
- BCF — receiving issues and responding to them.
- Properties — the data of every element in the model.
Who it suits
The receiving side: a contractor, consultant or client who needs to see the findings of a check and respond without buying the full system. What is missing: it does not run checks itself — checks are run only in the commercial edition.
