xeokit Features
xeokit is a software development kit from xeolabs for developing Web-based 3D applications for engineering and BIM.
The SDK is based on xeogl and comes with a library of plugins for rapidly building 3D solutions that run in all major browsers on both desktop and mobile platforms.
| Feature | Description | Info |
|---|---|---|
| Extensible | Includes a library of plugins to accelerate development of solutions for BIM and engineering. | |
| Huge models | Uses techniques like geometry batching, instancing and quantization to load and render highly detailed models. | |
| Based on xeogl | A whitebox framework that extends the open source xeogl 3D visualization library, while exposing full access to the xeogl API. | |
| WebGL 1 | Advanced rendering techniques for huge models that run in the stable releases of most major browsers on both desktop and mobile platforms. | |
| ECMA 6 | A clean and extensible codebase written in modern JavaScript. | |
| License | GPL V3 - get in touch for commercial licensing options. | License |
| Format | Description | Info |
|---|---|---|
| BIMServer | Load large BIM models from the leading open source IFC data server. |
Tutorial Docs |
| glTF | A royalty-free format for efficient transmission and loading of 3D models that minimizes size and provides an extensible, common publishing format for 3D content tools. | Docs |
| OBJ | A common 3D format useful for simple geometries | Docs |
| 3DXML | Load CAD models authored in design applications such as SolidWorks | Docs |
| STL | A file format used to represent 3D CAD models in stereolithography and other solid freeform fabrication technologies | Docs |
| Tool | Description | Info |
|---|---|---|
| BCF | Exchange BCF viewpoints between BIM software systems, to raise issues, provide answers and make comments about a building model. |
Tutorial Docs |
| Annotations | Pin notes onto your 3D models. | Docs |
| Cross sections | Create cross-section planes to reveal inner structures. | Docs |
| Camera animation | Fly the camera to look at objects, animate the camera long paths, switch between different projections, animate along paths for walk-throughs. | |
| Bookmarks | Load and save the entire state of your viewer and its plugins as JSON bookmarks. | |
| Snapshots | Capture snapshots of your viewer canvas as JPEG, PNG or GIF. | |
| Picking | Select objects and 3D surface positions using mouse or 3D ray-intersections. |
| Format | Description | Info |
|---|---|---|
| Skyboxes | Use skyboxes to create backgrounds for your models. | |
| Emphasis effects | X-ray views, highlighting and wireframing. | |
| Realistic materials | Physically-based rendering for realistic previews. Lambert and Blinn/Phong rendering for massive models. | |
| Lights | Unlimited dynamic light sources, image-based lighting. |
