JavaScript viewer to visualize 3D models on Cognite Data Fusion
Visualize Cognite's 3D models in a web browser with WebGL.
Note: The component will by default send anonymous usage statistics. This is used to improve the 3D viewer. You can opt out from this in the Cognite3DViewer constructor.
You need to install the Cognite SDK which needs to be authenticated before loading the 3D viewer.
Install the package with yarn:
yarn add @cognite/3d-viewer
or npm:
npm install @cognite/3d-viewer
To be able to use this 3D viewer you need to have access to Cognite Data Fusion. You can upload 3D models using Cognite 3D ingestor, or by looking at Cognite's API documentation. You can then use this viewer to visualize the 3D model in any web-based application on desktop or mobile devices.
import { Cognite3DViewer, THREE, TWEEN } from '@cognite/3d-viewer';
// If you are loading a local file, then just pass it in the localPath when you addModel:
const viewer = new Cognite3DViewer();
// If you are loading more than just local file, you would need to specify a sdk:
const viewer = new Cognite3DViewer({ sdk: new CogniteClient({ ... }) })
// Create three.js objects
const vector = new THREE.Vector3();
// Use TWEEN to animate e.g. the camera, see npmjs.com/package/@tweenjs/tween.js
To be able to use this package you need the following polyfills:
Adding model from CDF
// The viewer will render to a canvas inside a wrapper container.
// You can specify the wrapper by setting options.domElement and passing the options argument
// to the Cognite3DViewer constructor. If not set, it will create a div element for you.
const viewer = new Cognite3DViewer({ sdk: new CogniteClient({ ... }) });
// You can then add the div to your existing DOM:
document.body.appendChild(viewer.domElement);
// At this point you will only see a black canvas.
// So let's add a 3D model:
const options = {
modelId, // 3D model id
revisionId, // The model's revision id
};
viewer.addModel(options).then(function(model) {
// Move camera to look at the model
viewer.fitCameraToModel(model, 0);
});
Adding local model
// The viewer will render to a canvas inside a wrapper container.
// You can specify the wrapper by setting options.domElement and passing the options argument
// to the Cognite3DViewer constructor. If not set, it will create a div element for you.
const viewer = new Cognite3DViewer();
// You can then add the div to your existing DOM:
document.body.appendChild(viewer.domElement);
// At this point you will only see a black canvas.
// So let's add a 3D model:
const options = {
localPath: '...',
};
viewer.addModel(options).then(function(model) {
// Move camera to look at the model
viewer.fitCameraToModel(model, 0);
});
Note: You may need additional styling to the wrapper div container to make it fit your use-case. By default, the wrapper will have this style:
{ width: 100vw; height: 100vh; }The internal canvas will be styled to fill this wrapper.
function onProgress(progress) {
console.log(progress);
}
function onComplete() {
console.log('Model loaded');
}
const options = {
modelId,
revisionId,
onProgress, // optional
onComplete, // optional
};
viewer.addModel(options)...
viewer.on('click', function(event) {
const { offsetX, offsetY } = event;
const intersection = viewer.getIntersectionFromPixel(offsetX, offsetY);
if (intersection !== null) {
const { nodeId, point, model } = intersection;
console.log('User clicked at world coordinate', point);
// highlight the object
model.selectNode(nodeId);
// make the camera zoom to the object
const boundingBox = model.getBoundingBox(nodeId);
viewer.fitCameraToBoundingBox(boundingBox, 2000); // 2 sec
} else {
// Clicked outside the 3D model
model.deselectAllNodes();
}
});
Assume you have the revision object from Cognite Data Fusion which you can get from this endpoint.
Here is a code snippet to use the saved camera position:
const { target, position } = revision.camera;
if (Array.isArray(target) && Array.isArray(position)) {
// Create three.js objects
const positionVector = new THREE.Vector3(...position);
const targetVector = new THREE.Vector3(...target);
// Apply transformation matrix
positionVector.applyMatrix4(model.matrix);
targetVector.applyMatrix4(model.matrix);
// Set on viewer
viewer.setCameraPosition(positionVector);
viewer.setCameraTarget(targetVector);
} else {
viewer.fitCameraToModel(model, 0);
}
Cognite3DViewer is the root class of a Cognite 3D viewer. It controls all aspects of the 3D viewer.

This corresponds to the domElement property below.options.noBackground boolean? -- Transparent background or not (optional, default false)options.logMetrics boolean -- Send anonymous usage statistics.

Dispose of WebGL resources. Can be used to free up memory when the viewer is no longer in use.
// Viewer is no longer in use, free up memory
viewer.dispose();
The DOM element the viewer will insert its rendering canvas into. The DOM element can be specified in the options when the viewer is created. If not specified, the DOM element will be created automatically. The DOM element cannot be changed after the viewer has been created.
Check if the viewer supports the current browser
if (!Cognite3DViewer.isBrowserSupported()) {
// create an error message to the user?
}
Add event listener to the viewer call off to remove an event listener
type string -- Event type ('click' or 'cameraChange')func function (event:PointerEvent) -- The callback functionconst onClick = event => { ... };
viewer.on('click', onClick);
viewer.on('cameraChange', (position, target) => {

});
Remove event listener from the viewer call on to add an event listener

new THREE.Vector3(10, 10, 10)
);
const options = {
modelId: 'COGNITE_3D_MODEL_ID',
revisionId: 'COGNITE_3D_REVISION_ID',
geometryFilter: { boundingBox },
};
viewer.addModel(options).then(model => {
// Transform the bounding box to model space
boundingBox.applyMatrix4(model.matrix);
// Focus camera on bounding box
viewer.fitCameraToBoundingBox(boundingBox);
});

Sets per-pixel slicing planes. Pixels behind any of the planes will be sliced away.

viewer.setSlicingPlanes([plane]);
// Hide pixels with values less than 0 in the x direction or greater than 0 in the y direction
const xPlane = new THREE.Plane(new THREE.Vector3(1, 0, 0), 0);
const yPlane = new THREE.Plane(new THREE.Vector3(0, -1, 0), 0);
viewer.setSlicingPlanes([xPlane, yPlane]);
