@cognite/3d-viewer
Advanced tools
Visualize Cognite's 3D models in a web browser with WebGL.
You need to install the Cognite SDK which needs to be authenticated before loading the 3D viewer.
$ npm install @cognite/3d-viewer
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.
import { Cognite3DViewer } from '@cognite/3d-viewer';
// Remember to authenticate with the Cognite SDK.
const viewer = new Cognite3DViewer();
To be able to use this package you need the following polyfills:
// Remember to authenticate with the Cognite SDK.
const viewer = new Cognite3DViewer();
// The viewer will render to a canvas.
// Add this canvas to your DOM
document.body.appendChild(viewer.getCanvas());
// At this point you will only see a black canvas.
// So let's add a 3D model:
const options = {
projectName, // Project name (tenant) in Cognite's Data Platform
modelId, // 3D model id (has to be under the same project)
revisionId, // The model's revision id
};
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 canvas to make it fit your use-case. By default the canvas will have this style:
{ width: 100%; height: 100%; }
function onProgress(progress) {
console.log(progress);
}
function onComplete() {
console.log('Model loaded');
}
const options = {
projectName,
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, null, model.matrix);
viewer.fitCameraToBoundingBox(boundingBox, 2000); // 2 sec
} else {
// Clicked outside the 3D model
}
});
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)) {
// 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.
options Object (optional, default {})
options.noBackground boolean -- Transparent background or not (optional, default false)options.highlightColor boolean -- Highlight color of the selected objects (optional, default THREE.Color(0,0,1))options.viewCube string? -- If defined then show a view cube and snap location of the view cube to this value. One of: 'topleft', 'topright', 'bottomleft', 'bottomright'.const viewer = new Cognite3DViewer({
noBackground: true,
});
Returns the canvas the viewer is rendered on
document.body.appendChild(viewer.getCanvas());
Check if the viewer supports the current browser
if (!viewer.isSupported()) {
// 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) => {
console.log('Camera changed: ', position, target);
});
Remove event listener from the viewer call on to add an event listener
type string -- Event type ('click' or 'cameraChange')func function -- The callback function used in onviewer.off('click', onClick);
Add a new 3D model to the viewer. call fitCameraToModel to see the model after the model has loaded
options Object
options.projectName string -- The Cognite project the 3D model belongs tooptions.modelId number -- The model's idoptions.revisionId number -- The model's revision idoptions.boundingBox THREE.Box3? -- Only load geometries inside this bounding boxoptions.onProgress function (progress: Object)? -- Callback for progress eventsoptions.onComplete function? -- Callback when the model is fully loadedconst options = {
projectName: 'COGNITE_TENANT_NAME',
modelId: 'COGNITE_3D_MODEL_ID',
revisionId: 'COGNITE_3D_REVISION_ID',
};
viewer.addModel(options).then(model => {
viewer.fitCameraToModel(model, 0);
});
Returns Promise<Cognite3DModel>
Add a THREE.Object3D to the viewer
object THREE.Object3D -- A three.js objectconst sphere = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.SphereBufferGeometry(), new MeshBasicMaterial());
viewer.addObject3D(sphere);
Remove a THREE.Object3D from the viewer
object THREE.Object3D -- A three.js objectconst sphere = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.SphereBufferGeometry(), new MeshBasicMaterial());
viewer.addObject3D(sphere);
viewer.removeObject3D(sphere);
Set slice point. Geometries will be hidden relative to this point based on slice planes specified by setSlicePlanes.
slicePoint THREE.Vector3 -- Slice pointconst slicePoint = new THREE.Vector3(1, 0, 0);
viewer.setSlicePoint(slicePoint);
Set slice planes. Each component controls slicing for its direction. A value of +1 hides geometries in the positive direction relative to slicePoint. A value of -1 hides geometries in the negative direction relative to slicePoint. A value of 0 disables slicing for that plane.
slicePlanes THREE.Vector3 -- Slice plane information// Hide geometries with larger z-component than slicePoint. No slicing in x and y.
const slicePlanes = new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 1);
viewer.setSlicePlanes(slicePlanes);
// Hide geometries with smaller x-component than slicePoint.
const slicePlanes = new THREE.Vector3(-1, 0, 0);
viewer.setSlicePlanes(slicePlanes);
// Hide geometries with larger x,y and z-component than slicePoint.
const slicePlanes = new THREE.Vector3(1, 1, 1);
viewer.setSlicePlanes(slicePlanes);
// Disable slicing.
const slicePlanes = new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0);
viewer.setSlicePlanes(slicePlanes);
Returns camera's position
const position = viewer.getCameraPosition();
Returns THREE.Vector3 Position in world space
Returns camera's target
const target = viewer.getCameraTarget();
Returns THREE.Vector3 Target in world space
Set camera's position
position THREE.Vector3 -- Position in world space// store position, target
const position = viewer.getCameraPosition();
const target = viewer.getCameraTarget();
// restore position, target
viewer.setCameraPosition(position);
viewer.setCameraTarget(target);
Set camera's target
target THREE.Vector3 -- Target in world space// store position, target
const position = viewer.getCameraPosition();
const target = viewer.getCameraTarget();
// restore position, target
viewer.setCameraPosition(position);
viewer.setCameraTarget(target);
