Hi there are just some ideas to access data of an ifc-file in a homepage or webservice. Even for getting some areas or parsing more detailed data with relations. XML is quite easy readable… but a lot of files are not yet xml and there is not a easy way to convert them online. So is there any projec…

Hi Robert, Maybe this can help with: [image] IfcDoc cross-platform implementation IfcDoc Tool @stefkeB , @Moult , @TLiebich , @jwouellette , @pipauwel , @Ali_Ismail @IFCWebServer , It seems that a few works on this and I think is a good idea if we have a web-based/semantic web…

I read before but I thought it is only meant to replace the ifcDoc-Tool or to generate a compatible new schema?

No, is the same And XML is not a good idea when it comes to web-based files and solutions IFC is more “object-oriented” and less relational but I think this issue will solve soon (However, some useful projects like IfcOpenShell are exist today) And SQL servers like MySQL have limitations in this …

Most web platforms use local command-line tools (such as IfcConvert from the IfcOpenShell project) to parse an uploaded IFC file into something else. This is usually split between converting the geometry and the properties. For 3D geometry visualisation in a Web-viewer, developers usually fall back…

@stefkeB So I know that or can feel that you see the same obstacles I see these days. As you mentioned correctly those geometries (even GLTF or Collada) are not web-based geometries and there’s a need to develop web-based geometries And also, XML-format or (more often these days) json files are no…

What I don’t fully understand is why you suggest that we need to develop new web-based geometries. GLTF precisely was meant as (yet another?) common 3D format to exchange 3D scenes (scenegraph, geometry, shaders, meshes, animations). It is open and royalty free and applying many of the tricks neede…

I’m thinking of new methodologies/technologies that modern web browsers use, like WebAssembly [image] WebAssembly WebAssembly (often shortened to Wasm) is a standard that defines a binary format and a corresponding assembly-like text format for executables used by web pages. The purpos…

I don’t get what WebAssembly is doing in this comparison. It is a technology that allows more native (compiled?) executable code within a browser. The format to describe the 3D geometry (e.g. extracted out of IFC-files) is not dependent on the execution code. E.g. GLTF is already quite optimised. A…

Is it possible to read all the discussions here and provide your insights there or here? What I believe and I think you also mentioned about in your view, “IFC was developed for desktop software and still has some limitations for web-based solutions. Indeed IFC is not suitable for CRUD web-based so…

Sorry but I agree with stefkeB that I cannot see any relation to my question, whether there are scripts to import/parse stepfiles into a database. Everything else is OT and would be nice if you discuss this somewhere else - thank you.
