3D Web Viewer in the D-Cloud

The 3D web viewer displays the 3D web-viewer positions you exported from DICAM entirely browser-based in the D-Cloud. It enables clients, partners and project participants to gain direct insight into the digital building model without any installation or specialized software. The presentation is browser-based, intuitive and offers a variety of navigation, structural and information functions. This significantly simplifies and accelerates communication regarding planning, design and execution.

Together, D-Cloud and the 3D web viewer provide a powerful solution for modern, collaborative work in timber construction—independent of location, device and software installation.

3D Web Viewer

The 3D web viewer provides clients and other stakeholders with an easily accessible, interactive 3D model. The exported file contains both the model and the interface of the 3D web viewer.

Features of the 3D Web Viewer

• No installation required; runs in all common browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge, etc.)

• Intuitive navigation (rotate, pan)

• Show and hide building components via the building structure:

• Floors

• Walls

• Ceilings

• Roofs and roof surfaces

Save scenes and comments

In the 3D web viewer, scenes can be saved to support communication among all project participants. A scene stores the current representation of the 3D model, including all relevant visualization and view settings. These include, among others:

• hidden components and volumes

• current viewing direction

• active clip box settings

• used projection type (e.g., perspective, parallel projection)

• stored comments

• author of the comments

Saved scenes are displayed within the project and can be viewed by anyone who has the project's share link. In addition, these users can further comment on the scenes, enabling transparent and traceable coordination directly in the model.

Structuring of content

Floors and roof are additionally structured according to:

• Building elements (wall cores, ceiling layer panels …)

• Staircase (group 17)

• Building services (groups -18, -19)

• Design elements (groups 16, 18, 19)

• Structural components (groups -17 to 15)

Structural components are additionally sorted by MOS group. The designation of the component appears in the tree for each entry.

Component information

For selected components the following are displayed:

• Material

• Dimensions

• Designation

• Sequence number

If sequence numbers are missing, the system requests a sorting before export.

Additional functions

• Toggle visibility of sky background and terrain surface

• Fullscreen mode for optimal display on desktops and mobile devices

• Collapsible menu area and structure tree

• Measurement function to check distances and dimensions
