Construction Management Company Integrates Drawing Management Application with Forge Viewer to Boost 3D visualization Capabilities

Summary

Construction Management Company needed to Revamp the 3D visualization Capabilities with Drawing management Application using Forge based Viewer Integration.

About the Client

A leading construction management company providing a cloud-based project management information system (PMIS) that can support the entire lifecycle of construction projects. The company enables collaboration between all project participants to streamline communication and improve efficiency which further eliminates waste and rework by keeping everyone on the same page with the latest design and scope information.

The Goal

The client wanted to create a Forge viewer providing high-end 3D visualization capabilities with easy 3D rendering compatible with Windows/Mac/iOS/Android. The client was looking to build all of the viewer components within their viewer platform. Client already had an existing platform which needed the implementation of additional features to enhance the overall productivity of the application. In addition, the client required options to load the model after it has undergone the upload, translation and extraction process.

Solution

nCircle Tech delivered 2 primary entities to the client – SVF Converter and Model Viewer
Team prioritized Model Viewer Module to view SVF model which is already translated
Post the integration of SVF Viewing Module, our team created SVF Converter Module
Delivered a functionality to store converted files into client’s directory and further share the links with developers
For managing and storing model files from apps on the Forge platform, we used the Object Storage service (OSS) containers (bucket).

Technology Stack:

Autodesk Forge
JavaScript
Node.js
Express

Benefits

Provided an option to view models directly in a platform that have been uploaded with its File Manager
Create functionality to add markups/annotations to the model via the viewer along with options to select and pin an object in the model
Generation of a snapshot image of the model view and store with the platform’s document
Options to view the pin and metadata directly in the viewer.

Impact

Visually appealing progress reports with embedded videos
Enhance Application productivity using additional visualisation features
Easy and Quick Construction models rendering in 3D
Reduced (another alternative Lic) cost and time required for operation
