Test dotbim with three.js using release version r147.

Here is an Online Preview page where you can drop your BIM file. See the Example section below for additional info.

Move and test colors for each face using in the mesh object.

• mesh_id - number
• coordinates - [x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2...]
• indices - [i1,i2,i3,j1,j2,j3...]
• colors - [ir,ig,ib,ia,jr,jg,jb,ja...] (optional not oficial)

colors could have one default color or one color for each face (indices.length / 3).

• mesh_id - number
• vector - {x,y,z} - if undefined use {0,0,0}
• rotation - {qx,qy,qz,qw} - if undefined use {0,0,0,1}
• color - {r,g,b,a} - if undefined use colors default mesh
• face_colors - [ir,ig,ib,ia,jr,jg,jb,ja...] if undefined use colors default mesh

In this example the color in the element is blending with the color in the mesh, face_colors and color from element are optional and in the mesh colors is optional (colors does not exist in the oficial dotbim schema.)

The index.html has a simple implementation with the following features.

• Load .bim files using Drag-and-Drop
• Press Keyboard 1 - Dark Background
• Press Keyboard 2 - Light Background
• Press Keyboard c - Clear Scene
• Press Keyboard n - Create dotbim_faces sample
• Press Keyboard m - Create dotbim_cubes sample

Download either dotbim.three.js or dotbim.three.min.js file. Use it directly in your browser application:

<script src="./path-to-dotbim-file/dotbim.three.min.js"></script>

Then call the function dotbim_CreateMeshes to convert a dotbim_text_content to THREE.Object3D array as in the following example:

dotbim_CreateMeshes(dotbim_text_content).forEach(bim_mesh => {
    scene.add(bim_mesh);
});

Or use the THREE.FileLoader function as in the following example:

function loadBIM() {
  // previously created: var scene = new THREE.Scene(), mesh = new THREE.Object3D(), edges = new THREE.Group();
  // selected_bim_file in this case would represent an actual URL to the BIM model
  // for local file browsing it would have to be replaced with:
  //    URL.createObjectURL( selected_bim_file )
  // and eventually revoked with:
  //    URL.revokeObjectURL( selected_bim_file )

  new THREE.FileLoader().load( selected_bim_file, async function( text ) {

    let mesh_count = 1;

    // the following is the actual function from the dotbim.three.js file

    dotbim_CreateMeshes( text ).forEach( bim_mesh => {

      // name the mesh if required for any later code

      if (bim_mesh.name) {
        if (bim_mesh.name === '') {
          bim_mesh.name = 'mesh_' + mesh_count;
          mesh_count += 1;
        }
      } else {
        bim_mesh[ 'name' ] = 'mesh_' + mesh_count;
        mesh_count += 1;
      }

      // store the internally created edges if required

      if ( bim_mesh.edges ) edges.add( bim_mesh.edges );

      // add the bim_mesh to the model that will be displayed

      mesh.add( bim_mesh );
    });

    scene.add( mesh );
  });
}

Practical usage example can be seen in the STEP Viewer with the code available in this repository.
