Install
$ npm install @cognite/3d-viewer
Cognite's Data Platform
To be able to use this 3D viewer you need to have access to Cognite's Data Platform (CDP). You can upload 3D models to our platform by looking at Cognite's API documentation. You can then use this viewer to visualize the 3D model in any web-based application.
Usage
With import
import { Cognite3DViewer } from '@cognite/3d-viewer';
const viewer = new Cognite3DViewer();
With script tag
<script src="{path to this folder}/lib/cognite.bundle.js"></script> // Now you have 'cognite' as a global object
<script>
var viewer = new cognite.Cognite3DViewer();
</script>
Sample code
const viewer = new Cognite3DViewer();
document.body.appendChild(viewer.canvas);
const options = {
projectName,
modelId,
revisionId,
};
viewer.addModel(options).then(function(model) {
viewer.fitCameraToModel(model, 0);
});
Note: you may need additional styling to the canvas to make it fit your use-case
canvas {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
Add progress listeners
function onProgress(progress) {
console.log(progress);
}
function onComplete() {
console.log('Model loaded');
}
const options = {
projectName,
modelId,
revisionId,
onProgress,
onComplete,
};
viewer.addModel(options)...
Make the viewer clickable
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);
model.selectNode(nodeId);
const boundingBox = model.getBoundingBox(nodeId, null, model.matrix);
viewer.fitCameraToBoundingBox(boundingBox, 2000);
} else {
}
});
Load saved camera position from the API
Assume you have the revision object from Cognite's Data Platform 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)) {
const positionVector = new THREE.Vector3(...position);
const targetVector = new THREE.Vector3(...target);
positionVector.applyMatrix4(model.matrix);
targetVector.applyMatrix4(model.matrix);
viewer.setCameraPosition(positionVector);
viewer.setCameraTarget(targetVector);
} else {
viewer.fitCameraToModel(model, 0);
}
