Simple demonstration of xBim IFC and Geometry .NET libraries running under a web server, using a standard ASP.NET MVC5 template.
This is a sample application - so it's not meant to be production quality - just enough to demonstrate how to IFC files are parsed, their geometry converted and how a basic WebGL viewer can be invoked. The application also demonstrates how to federate geometry, and has some diagnostics on the internal engine.
##Pre-requisites In addition to the vanilla MVC project packages, this demo application uses the latest Xbim Nuget packages for Xbim.Essentials and Xbim.Geometry.
The WebGL package (XbimWebUI) is pre-release and only available from Myget under the Xbim-develp feed. This means
you must add https://www.myget.org/F/xbim-develop/api/v2 to your Nuget sources before building the app.
The Geometry engine is dependent on the VC12 C++ runtime. This is installed with Visual Studio 2013, but will need deploying manually if installing to a non-developer machine.
##Running
Assuming the pre-requisites are met you can just build and run the app.
A couple of hard-coded links will open some simple models. If you copy a couple of IFC files to App_Data folder and you should be able to see how to federate larger models like:
