3D Models Visuals in Power BI

Hi guys, I just wanted to share a dashboard design that I created from Speckle PowerBI Visual. So far it seems very good. But it takes too much time to load elements. Overall it is working and thanks a million for this visual. Great work.

Hi there, thanks @riverlander. The file I used is from Autodesk. They used it in their training.
Here is the website Learning Courses | Autodesk
But I don’t it is free or not for commercial usage.

Thanks so much for sharing @salpbes , we often struggle to see how Speckle is used in the wild :slight_smile:
We’ll definitely take your feedback into consideration when working on more stable versions of the connector :hugs:

Thank you, guys. I am more than happy to help. Eagerly waiting for the new versions. I think with Power BI integrations there are endless possibilities for Speckle. Great work so far. If you need anything please let me know.

Hi all!

Just bumping this thread to let you know we’ve released a new version of the PowerBI visual that comes with some nice improvements and fixes:

Most of these have been added based on your feedback, so thank you very much for taking the time to test and come back to us :raised_hands:t3:

We hope you find these new features useful. Keep in mind that we’re still experimenting on how the visual and the data connector should interact and work, so do keep those requests and ideas coming to help us shape an awesome user experience :slight_smile:

And here’s a sneak peek of what’s already coming on the next release :wink:

  • New ColorBy input used exclusively for applying color filters (Object data is now named Tooltip Data and is used for tooltips :point_down:t3:)
  • New custom tooltips, where even the prop name is customisable. This also allows to apply data to the tooltip that is not stored in Speckle

Connecting any of the 2 (ObjectData or ColorBy inputs) will result in highlighting being active.

How do I select the branch I like it to take the model from?
Its randomly taking model from branches that I don’t intend to use

Alright, you can’t have spaces in your Branch name, just like python, use underscore.

Make sure you copy the URL from Chrome, as spaces are not “url safe” characters, they get swapped for %20 instead. If you just manually write the branch name in your url, this will work in chrome (as it n knows how to escape URLs) but won’t work in PowerBI (URL parsing logic is super basic in PowerQuery).

Notice the change in the space character done automatically by your browser:

So just to clarify, branches with spaces in the name are supported, but you need to have them properly encoded.
