THIS LIBRARY IS DEPRECATED. USE COMPONENTS INSTEAD

web-ifc-viewer

This library is an extension of web-ifc-three, which is the official IFCLoader for THREE.js. This doesn't only parse and generate the Three.js geometry of IFC models in JavaScript, but also provides multiple tools to easily build BIM tools, such as 3d dimensions, clipping planes, 2D plan navigation and generation, etc.

Status

web-ifc-viewer offers multiple tools to create awesome BIM tools in no time. While the tools are quite stable, the state of this repository is tightly coupled with the state of web-ifc-three and web-ifc.

Check out their README files to better understand where the project currently is.

Demo

Documentation

Install

npm install web-ifc-viewer or yarn add web-ifc-viewer

Quick setup

First, create a JavaScript file that imports the library and creates a scene:

import { IfcViewerAPI } from 'web-ifc-viewer';

const container = document.getElementById('viewer-container');
const viewer = new IfcViewerAPI({ container });
viewer.axes.setAxes();
viewer.grid.setGrid();

const input = document.getElementById("file-input");

input.addEventListener("change",

  async (changed) => {
   
    const file = changed.target.files[0];
    const ifcURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
    viewer.IFC.loadIfcUrl(ifcURL);
  },

  false
);

You can bundle this file using any bundler. This is an example configuration file using rollup:

import resolve from '@rollup/plugin-node-resolve';

export default {
  input: 'index.js',
  output: {
    file: "bundle.js",
    format: 'esm'
  },
  plugins: [ resolve() ]
};

Now you display it in an HTML page like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

    <title>IFC.js</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <input type="file" id="file-input" accept=".ifc, .ifcXML, .ifcZIP">
    <div id="viewer-container"></div>
    <script src="./bundle.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>
