The Viewer widget API allows developers to add predefined widgets
to their viewer app.
Viewer widget API requires jQuery 1.x to run.
Viewer widget API can either be automatically initialized by using the DOM data API or manually initialized in JavaScript.
Create a viewer access token by using the POST /viewer/access resources in the bimsync API.
Add the viewer framework to you application:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://api.bimsync.com/1.0/js/viewer.js"></script>
Create a viewer instance, and add the data attribute data-ui.
<div data-viewer="webgl" data-url="https://api.bimsync.com/1.0/viewer/access?token=897..."
data-ui
data-enable-joystick="true"
data-enable-context-menu="true"
data-viewer2d-id="viewer-2d"
data-enable-viewer2d-integration="true"
data-show-viewer2d-storey-select="true">
</div>

Create a viewer access token by using the POST /viewer/access resources in the bimsync REST API.
Create a DIV container element which will contain the viewer element. If you are not using the joystick navigation, you can skip the container.
<div id="viewer-container">
<div id="viewer"></div>
</div>
If you are using the viewer-2d integration with the storey select enabled, be sure to put the viewer-2d element in a container as well.
<div id="viewer-2d-container">
<div id="viewer-2d"></div>
</div>
<!-- If you are using the viewer-2d integration with the storey-select enabled, be sure to put the viewer-2d element in a container as well. -->
<div id="viewer-2d-container">
<div id="viewer-2d"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://api.bimsync.com/1.0/js/viewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// When loading the Viewer API, include a parameter ['viewer-ui']
bimsync.load(['viewer-ui']);
// Set a callback to run when the Viewer API is loaded
bimsync.setOnLoadCallback(viewerLoaded);
// Callback that loads a viewer access token URL and initializes the UI widget
function viewerLoaded() {
//Load the geometry
$('#viewer').viewer('loadUrl', 'https://api.bimsync.com/1.0/viewer/access?token=897...');

var options = {
enableKeyboard: Boolean, // Default false
enableJoystick: Boolean, // Default true
joystickHidden: Boolean, // Default true
joystickColor: String, // Default 'blue', accepts any valid CSS color
joystickPosition: String, // Default 'bottom-center'.
joystickRotationClamp: Number, // Default 2, rotation speed is divided by this number
joystickBorderOffset: String, // Default '20px', accepts any valid CSS style
joystickSize: Integer, // Default 100, size in px
spacesVisible: Boolean, // Default false, note that you have to use the setSpaces method for this to work
viewer2dId: String, // Default null
enableViewer2dIntegration: Boolean, // Default false
showViewer2dStoreySelect: Boolean // Default false
enableContextMenu: Boolean, // Default false
translations: Object // Default { showAll: "Show all", hide: "Hide", hideOthers: "Hide others", makeTranslucent: "Make translucent", isolate: "Isolate", lookAt: "Look at", removeClippingPlanes: "Remove Clipping Planes", addClippingPlane: "Add clipping plane", sectionTopAndBottom: "Section top and bottom", noModelsLoaded: "No models loaded.", loading: "Loading...", defaultBuildingName: "(unknown building)", defaultModelName: "(unknown model)" }
};
This enables keyboard shortcuts and navigation in the viewer.
Shortcuts:
g : show
shift + g, o : show all
h : hide
del : remove selected clipping plane, or hide selected
shift + h : hide others
t : make translucent
shift + t, i : make others translucent
l : look at
Navigation:
w, up : move foreward
s, down : move backward
a, left : move left
d, right : move right
x, shift + up : move up
c, shift + down : move down
q, ins : rotate left
e, home : rotate right
r, pageup : rotate up
f, pagedown : rotate down
Enables joystick navigation. The joystick can be used to navigate in the viewer on touch screens, or with the mouse.
Wheter the joystick should be default hidden or not.
The color of the joystick widget. Any valid CSS color should work.
The default position of the joystick. Possible values: 'middle-left', 'bottom-left', 'bottom-center', 'bottom-right', 'middle-right'
The rotation speed is originally set using the $('.viewer').viewer('rotationspeed', 50.0);
method. To use a different rotation speed when navigating with the joystick, this number can be set to something other than 1. The base rotation speed when navigating with the joystick will be the viewers rotation speed divided by this number.
Used to adjust the position the joystick, i.e. move it a bit farther from the border.
The px size of the joystick widget. Defaults to 100
Wheter or not spaces should be shown. To get this to work you have to use the setSpaces method first to let the widget know the ids of the spaces. If spacesVisible is set to false
, spaces will be hidden, and remain hidden when the user triggers a show all event.
For an example of how to find the spaces in the first place, see the setSpaces method below.
If you want to enable viewer-2d integration, you have to specify the id of the viewer-2d element.
Enables the 2d - 3d integration when it is set to true.
Note: you also have to specify the id of the 2d-viewer element.
If this is set to true, a storey dropup will be added to the 2d-container.
Note: you also have to specify the id of the 2d-viewer element.
When enabled, a dropdown menu should appear when right-clicking in the viewer. From the context menu you should be able to show, hide, make translucent and add/remove clipping planes.
Translate the context menu.
// Example norwegian translation:
$('#viewer').viewerUI({
// ...
enableContextMenu: true,
translations: {
showAll: "Vis alle",
hide: "Skjul",
hideOthers: "Skjul andre",
makeTranslucent: "Sett gjennomsiktig",
isolate: "Isoler",
lookAt: "Se på",
removeClippingPlanes: "Fjern klippeplan",
addClippingPlane: "Legg til klippeplan",
sectionTopAndBottom: "Klipp top og bunn"
}
});
All methods are invoked by calling the method viewerUI on the result of a jQuery/$ function call. The first argument to the viewerUI method must be the method name.
Shows the joystick. Joystick must be enabled for this to work.
Parameters: None
Hides the joystick
Parameters: None
Sets the position of the joystick.
Parameters:
Updates the options, and redraws the joystick.
Parameters:
By default the viewer will display spaces. If you want to hide the spaces, and make sure they remain hidden when you trigger a show all event, you can use this method to let the viewer know the objectIds of the spaces. You also have to make sure the showSpaces option is set to false.
To find the spaces you may use POST /revision/products resources in the bimsync REST API with the type options set to "IfcSpace":
POST https://api.bimsync.com/1.0/revision/products?model_id=ebad2a8ffc1d44ab86341a6d3d98e87e
{
"type": [ "IfcSpace" ]
}
This will return an Array of IfcSpace objects, extract all the objectId
values and put them in an array. Use the array as input in this method.
Parameters:
Sets the spacesVisible option. If true spaces will be shown, if false spaces will be hidden even when a show all event is triggered.
Parameters:
If 2d integration is activated, this will lock the cursor of the 2d-viewer in the center of the 2d-viewer.
Parameters:
If 2d integration is activated and the storey select is shown, this will make sure that the selected 2d storey do not change when navigating in 3d.
Parameters:
