Hello,
I’m sharing with you a dev in progress!
We’re creating a web viewer to distribute in Open Science Prof. Bernard Cache’s geometry course for architects at EPFL. He has redrawn in 3D geometric figures from treatises on stereotomy, gnomonics or perspective using TopSolid. An important aspect is their step-by-step reconstruction.
Thanks to the Specke.TopSolid connector developed by my colleagues Ahmed Wael and Thomas Hächler, we can send these constructions to a customized Speckle.Viewer, which is what I’m working on! This approach could be proposed to other researchers working on any Speckle-equipped software.
I’d like to thank you for the quality of the Spekle.Viewer library.
Some details:
The notion of sets (ensembles) in TopSolid is particularly interesting and “BIM” as it differs from layers: an object can be contained in several sets.
Our next step is to add nominations, probably with CSS2DRenderer.
I’ll keep you informed of progress and official release. For now, we’re still in the prototype phase.
