Simplebim 12 Launches with Base Model and Cloud Dataflows

Simplebim says version 12 launched on October 19, 2026, with tools for standardizing BIM model data and applying prepared processing workflows across models and teams. The company's announcement was updated on October 20.

What is included

The release introduces Base Model, which the company describes as a predefined workflow for organizing property structures and values. Simplebim says the feature can be applied to models before they are merged.

Simplebim Cloud allows users to publish desktop dataflows into pipelines that process new or updated models. According to the announcement, current storage connections include SharePoint, OneDrive, and Dropbox.

Other announced additions include a rebuilt 3D window and Simplebim AI Expert, an in-application tool providing guidance on the software and its workflows.

Access and industry relevance

The company states that cloud usage is token-based and available to users with a valid Simplebim Desktop license. These are vendor-stated access conditions, rather than an ArchElite product recommendation.

The release is relevant to BIM coordination because it addresses the organization and processing of information across model exchanges. That connection to architectural production is an editorial observation; ArchElite has not independently evaluated the release.
