BIM Surfer

Open source WebGL viewer for #openBIM models. Proud to be part of the @osbim collective

@TimDaviesUK @_johnegan @DLabz @bimserver @AutodeskRevit @ifcopenshell @autodesk @AutodeskForge @xeographics Depends on how you use it. But BIM Surfer cannot do CSG (triangle calculation) so that needs to come from IfcOpenShell, BIMserver or some other source. Streaming binaire from @bimserver is indeed an option (that is very fast).

Tiles, octrees, frustums, instancing, flat shading with derivatives ... #webgl

[BIM Surfer @BIMsurfer]

@JacobDAlbora of course later that is possible (we publish the code under open source). But at this moment we are doing internal testing.

Thanks for alle the responses! Just to give some more context: our current biggest dataset has 180 aspect models, with a total of >8Gb of (step) data and over a million objects. When we say 'we need a challenge' we mean we need something more than that.... #thankyou #openBIM #IFC https://t.co/0DA9scEeGv

We need a challenge! We are currently working on scalability and performance of the #WebGL viewer. Can you provide us with #IFC datasets for testing? Of course we will handle them confidential. You will get a nice #opensourceBIM merchandise package as a thank you! #openBIM

@marcdankers formaat van de files maakt niet uit als het héél veel files zijn :-) Grootste set nu is 178 IFC files (van variabel formaat). Mail naar [email protected]

There will be demo's, presentations of new features and hands-on tutorials of the #opensourceBIM toolset at the "accelerating BIM Workshop" in #Chicago: https://t.co/XtoqgRltza See you September 30th! #openBIM #cib

Exciting start of 2018 for IfcOpenShell. Full support for multiple IFC schemas within the same code base. Happy new year! https://t.co/dh126P5ej2

Interactive IfcOpenShell viewer with scripting console https://t.co/sOV179tqtI Amazing contribution by @semantecture https://t.co/Ic5n3XVzEW

Latest #xeogl build in @BIMsurfer - frame-budgeted task queue seems to pay off - no FPS drop while loading ~3500 entities #WebGL

[Thomas Krijnen @aothms]

We're looking for a dev to parallelise geometry processing in IfcOpenShell #hiring #opensource #multithreading https://t.co/FIPJ757YpD

[Open source BIM @osbim]

Performance testing: 49 IFC models, total of 2.9 Million IFC entities, all in a browser in 28 sec. How does that do? https://t.co/img45QsEAU

[BIM Surfer @BIMsurfer]

Making progress with the V2 branche....

[Open source BIM @osbim]

The famous layerset slicing from @ifcopenshell is now also available in @bimserver and bimvie.ws. Thank you @aothms!
