Instructions

Proxy server settings


The settings are displayed automatically if the Internet connection is unsuccessful.

In the Network Proxy Settings window, select Proxy Type:

  • Use system proxy settings. BIMTech Tools loads the system configuration.

  • Detect automatically. BIMTech Tools attempts to automatically detect proxy settings. Either system or configuration script.

  • No proxy - if you have direct internet access.

  • Custom settings for manual configuration. Set the proxy address for the HTTP(s) / SOCKS connection. Enter the URL or IP address of the proxy server in the Proxy server field and enter the port number of the proxy server in the Port field.


BIMTech Tools installation on macOS


Since we do not distribute BIMTech Tools via the Apple Store, it is for now necessary to enable the option to open the installer from an "unidentified developer".
