@jodyc111 I just pushed an update that will show you a warning message if there are any issues with your file.
Try and let me know if this helps.

This is great!

Is it possible to embed a dedicated viewport & model into my website?

Thanks! And cheers,

Noah

Hi noahconlay,

This would be possible with an iframe;
<iframe src="https://www.viewport.xyz/embed?key=6109a9a3c4de7c9251c340d3" height="400" width="800" frameBorder="0"></iframe>

But I’m not sure how useful it’ll be at the moment since your models expire after 5 days. Once we get the user accounts working (and non-expiring models) this should be more useful.

I kecked on Rview. It seems like a promising idea. Still it needs a lot of development. Compared to Three.js for example or 3dviewer.net. A model of 90mb, on Rview, crashes the browser. Smaller ones like 15mb are still unstable.

45

Unfortunately, GrabCAD has changed business models and is dropping the product.

47

Have you not considered resuming this project?

48

It looks like my credit card that was paying the for the hosting of that project expired. But yes, it has kind of fallen out of my radar since I started working on iRhino3D.

I probably can bring it back to life if it provided a value to you that other alternatives don’t

I am also working on a similar project, hoping to launch in February. You can see more and sign up for the waiting list here: https://www.modelgram.xyz/

You could see this type of viewer that saves the viewports with descriptions and managers

51

Is there an official viewer similar to what autodesk has with forge? We are looking to put together a dashboard for our 3D models and I am trying to figure out where the best place to start is. seems like there are a number of third party rhino viewers floating around.

52

We provide the 3dmLoader in threejs. This allows you to load 3dm files and data into a threejs scene. It is up to you to decide how you want to visualize the data. You can try it at three.js editor.

53

I will try it out. Any documentation on how to create a wrapper for react? I saw a couple of things floating around on the forums but wasn’t sure if there is an official version.

54

Here’s the most basic example of getting rhino3dm working in React:

Thanks!

We have made rview and there are a couple of third party viewers out there that read 3dm format. Is there a particular functionality you’re looking for that we’re missing?

57

Just tested this and I see the near clipping hides the object way to early.
Please try with this simple mesh file:
import_mesh.3dm (1.3 MB)
I would also like to be able to drag a file into the view for it to open :slight_smile:

I am looking at the Speckle viewer right now. I need to look at the official Rhino viewer as well. @fraguada Do you know if the Rhino viewer supports filtering and color by property or are these features we would need to code from scratch?

We would like to create a dashboard similar to what can be done with Power Bi, where users can filter by property or see model elements colored by property. Speckles commenting feature that is attached to objects, is a huge plus. Ideally, there would be some sort of 2D option that is not a glorified PDF but actually a BIM viewer. Supriseingly Autodesk Forge’s 2D is just a lack luster PDF viewer unless I missed something. Archilogic has handsome plans but seems to work on its own proprietary CAD system. Right now we are considering using a simple SVG map so users can click on different rooms.

The ease of use is a big issue, especially when working with non-technical teams. Free-form orbit confuses non-3D people. It needs to be really intuitive with some more structured options. Sketfab and Matterport both have excelled at creating an intuitive navigation system with an option for a more structured filmreal or bullet point navigation.

The biggest consideration in adopting a viewer would be support and continued development. Speckle seems to be growing and investing in creating a robust API for the viewer. We don’t have the staff to support the development of the viewer, so I would need to know that there is a committed company behind its development. We are working on an MVP and I have a million other problems to solve!

59

Speckle has a great viewer with active development. You should ask in their forum if it supports the features you are looking for.

60

I believe they have created an API that includes a filter by property and color by property methods.

It sounds like the Rhino viewer does not support these features and I would need to develop these features in-house? Is there a roadmap for what will be happening with the Rhino viewer?

61

Are you talking about rview?
There isn’t a roadmap but I’d like to understand your needs and take them into consideration when I finally get the chance to spend some time on that project. Would you like to set up a meeting to talk about what you’re looking for in a viewer?
