Conversion and Streaming Backend for HOOPS Communicator

One of the key advantages of HOOPS Communicator is the flexibility it gives developers when it comes to deployment. After installing the product, you are essentially getting a set of libraries and executables for efficient streaming and CAD conversion and it is up to you (with our help if needed) to integrate those optimally into your web-based application. When we developed the backend for our own internal HOOPS Communicator cloud demos (including https://demo.techsoft3d.com/) we had to emb…

Model Tree Search Revisited

It now supports subfilters, which makes it possible to define more complex searches combining “and/or” conditions in a single search. In addition, a search can now be turned into a SQuery which can be selected from a table, activated with a click of a button and easily serialized. Queries can optionally become Properties which are evaluated whenever the user selects a node. …

Alternative Model Tree

[image] I have updated the Model Tree code to now support multiple independent model trees for different parts of the hierarchy. This can be useful for separating the model tree in the case of federated BIM models for example. To make this work the constructor was slightly changed. It now accepts the div id’s for the modeltree, relationshiptree and properties. Those will be used only if useLayout is set to false. The startnode for the model tree is then set in the refresh() function that shou…
