Choosing a Downloadable Archive for Windows Platforms

All ODA BimRv SDK executables are built with dependency on the C/C++ runtime library (CRT), which implements basic functionality, such as input/output operations, memory management, string manipulation, and so on. Dynamic linking is the only one way to link the CRT library. And there is only one type of CRT librariy - "Dynamic Link Multi Threaded". It can be represented with a Release or Debug configuration.

To get a successfully build custom application based on ODA BimRv SDK, the CRT library used by the application must match the CRT library used by the ODA BimRv SDK. In other words, custom applications should use the same compiler switch that was used to build ODA BimRv SDK.

Downloadable archives with Dynamic Link Multi Threaded CRT contains the dll suffix in its name. For example, the BimRv_vc16_amd64dll_21.7.zip archive contains the ODA BimRv SDK archive with the Dynamic Link Multi Threaded CRT, built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019.

To get the Kernel files you should also download a Kernel package and extract it to the BimRv root folder. The version of the BimRv package and Kernel package should be the same.
