Issue description
You open a BIMx model and can only see a blurry photo of your Layout sheet instead of a good looking perspective.
Solution
The preview image for BIMx projects is controlled through the Project Preview settings in the original Archicad file. The preview image is set from within the project and becomes embedded in the BIMx Hyper-model when published
TIP: BIMx Hyper-model Project Preview Image Is Cropped.

- Open your project file using Archicad.
