Accepting an invitation and creating a Dalux account
To use Dalux you will need a Dalux account.
A Dalux account can only be created if you have been invited to a Dalux project, or if signing up for one of our two free products, BIM Viewer or Field Basic.
When invited to a Dalux project, you will receive an email with an activation link. Click the green 'Accept invitation' button to continue.
It will look like this:
Clicking the button will open a web page, where your Dalux profile can be finalized.
A profile needs at least a password and your first and last name.
You can also enter a company, and a phone number, and select your preferred language. This can help other members of the Dalux project if they need to contact you.
You will be using the email and password to log in to Dalux.
After filling in your information click 'Create user'. Your profile is now created, and you can log in to Dalux with your email and password.
Logging in to Dalux
Dalux can be accessed on both desktop and mobile devices.
Logging in to Dalux Mobile
To get started with Dalux Mobile, first download the app.
Make sure you download the Dalux app.
You can find the download page for the app by clicking either of the links below:
With the app downloaded and opened, type in your email address and password. If you have access to multiple Dalux projects or Dalux FM instances, a list will be displayed.

A Dalux employee will NEVER ask you for your password!
Leaving a project
By leaving a project you will lose all access to the data that has been uploaded/created in your Dalux project. You will need to be invited to the project again to get access.
Make sure that you have exported all desired information before leaving the project. If you simply want to stop receiving email notifications about the project, you can do so without leaving the project by following this guide: Email notification settings.
If you want to leave a project, you can do so by going to
