xeokit-convert

Use xeokit-convert to:

Convert BIM and AEC models directly into XKT files for super fast loading into xeokit
Generate XKT files with JavaScript

xeokit-convert replaces xeokit-gltf-to-xkt and xeokit-xkt-utils, which are deprecated.

CAUTION: Direct IFC conversion is an alpha status feature, since it depends on web-ifc, a 3rd-party library, which is also alpha at this time. As such, some IFC models may not convert properly. If this is the case for your models, consider using our standard conversion setup until issues have been resolved. Also, direct IFC conversion does not currently support all property sets.

Introduction

xeokit-convert provides the means to convert 3D BIM and AEC models into XKT files for super fast loading into xeokit, along with programming tools to generate XKT files with JavaScript on Node.js.

The XKT format compresses large double-precision models to a compact payload that loads quickly over the Web into a xeokit viewer running in the browser. We can use xeokit-convert to convert several source formats into XKT, such as IFC, GLB and CityJSON.

Components

The table below lists the components provided by xeokit-convert.

At the center of the toolkit, we've got the converter tool, provided as both a Node.js function and CLI executable.

Bundled with the converter, we've got the XKT document model, a bunch of loaders for different formats, and a function to serialize the document model to a BLOB. We use these components within the converter tool, and also provide them as part of the public API for extensibility.

Component	Description
convert2xkt (function) convert2xkt (Node script)	A Node-based JavaScript function and CLI tool that converts various AEC model formats into xeokit's native, super-fast-loading XKT format.
XKTModel	A JavaScript document model that represents the contents of an XKT file in memory. Using this, we can programmatically build a document model in JavaScript, adding geometries, materials, objects etc, then serialize it to an XKT file.
parseIFCIntoXKTModel	Parses IFC data into an `XKTModel`. This is an alpha-status feature.
parseGLTFIntoXKTModel	Parses GLB into an `XKTModel`. Supports textures.

XKT version: 10

Converting an IFC file into an XKT file on the command line

Let's use the convert2xkt Node script to convert an IFC file to XKT on the command line.

node convert2xkt.js -s rme_advanced_sample_project.ifc -o rme_advanced_sample_project.ifc.xkt -l

[convert2xkt] Reading input file: rme_advanced_sample_project.ifc
[convert2xkt] Input file size: 35309.94 kB

[convert2xkt] reuseGeometries: false
[convert2xkt] minTileSize: 10000
[convert2xkt] Writing XKT file: rme_advanced_sample_project.ifc.xkt

Viewing the XKT file with xeokit

Now that we've got an XKT file, we can now view it in the browser using a xeokit Viewer configured with an XKTLoaderPlugin .

import {Viewer, XKTLoaderPlugin} from
        "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@xeokit/xeokit-sdk@1/dist/xeokit-sdk.es.min.js";

const viewer = new Viewer({
    canvasId: "myCanvas"
});

const xktLoader = new XKTLoaderPlugin(viewer);

const modelNode = xktLoader.load({
    id: "myModel",
    src: "./rme_sample_project.ifc.xkt"
});

Querying the XKT version in Node.js

From with a Node script, we can query which XKT version xeokit-convert currently generates:

const {XKT_INFO} = require("./dist/xeokit-convert.cjs.js");

const xktVersion = XKT_INFO.xktVersion; // Unsigned integer
console.log(`XKT version: ${xktVersion}`);

Converting an IFC file into an XKT file in Node.js

We can use the convert2xkt function from within our Nodejs scripts to programmatically convert files to XKT.

const convert2xkt = require("@xeokit/xeokit-convert/dist/convert2xkt.cjs.js");

convert2xkt({
    source: "rme_advanced_sample_project.ifc",
    output: "rme_advanced_sample_project.ifc.xkt",
    log: (msg) => {
        console.log(msg)
    }
}).then(() => {
    console.log("Converted.");
}, (errMsg) => {
    console.error("Conversion failed: " + errMsg)
});

Converting IFC file data into XKT data in Node.js

When using the convert2xkt function in our Node scripts, we can manage all file data in memory.

This is great for when we want more control over where we read and write the files.

const convert2xkt = require("@xeokit/xeokit-convert/dist/convert2xkt.cjs.js");
const fs = require('fs');

convert2xkt({
    sourceData: fs.readFileSync("rme_advanced_sample_project.ifc"),
    outputXKT: (xtkArrayBuffer) => {
        fs.writeFileSync("rme_advanced_sample_project.ifc.xkt", xtkArrayBuffer);
    }
}).then(() => {
    console.log("Converted.");
}, (errMsg) => {
    console.error("Conversion failed: " + errMsg)
});

    }
}).then(() => {
    console.log("Converted.");
}, (errMsg) => {
    console.error("Conversion failed: " + errMsg)
});

Converting Split Files Output from `ifc2gltf`

The ifc2gltf tool has the option to convert IFC files into multiple GLB and JSON metadata files. We can then use convert2xkt to convert each of these files individually. This allows us to convert a huge IFC files into several, smaller XKT files, then load those XKT files individually into a xeokit Viewer.

Usage

Run ifc2gltf with the -s option, to convert an IFC file into a set of multiple glb geometry and json metadata files:

ifc2gltfcxconverter -i model.ifc -o myGLBFiles/model.glb -m myGLBFiles/model.json -s 100

The ifc2gltf -s 100 option causes ifc2gltf to split the output into these multiple files, each no bigger than 100MBytes.

The contents of the myGLBFiles directory then looks like this:

myGLBFiles
├── model.glb
├── model.json
├── model_1.glb
├── model_1.json
├── model_2.glb
├── model_2.json
├── model_3.glb
├── model_3.json
└── model.glb.manifest.json

Now run convert2xkt with the -a option, pointing to the myGLBFiles/model.glb.manifest.json file:

node convert2xkt.js -a myGLBFiles/model.glb.manifest.json -o myXKTFiles -l

The contents of myXKTFiles now look like this:

myXKTFiles
├── model.xkt
├── model_1.xkt
├── model_2.xkt
├── model_3.xkt
└── model.xkt.manifest.json

The model.xkt.manifest file looks like this:

{
  "inputFile": "/absolute/path/myGLBFiles/model.glb.manifest.json",
  "converterApplication": "convert2xkt",
  "converterApplicationVersion": "v1.1.8",
  "conversionDate": "09-08-2023- 23-53-30",
  "outputDir": "/absolute/path/myXKTFiles",
  "xktFiles": [
    "model.xkt",
    "model_1.xkt",
    "model_2.xkt",
    "model_3.xkt"
  ]
}

We can then load those XKT files into a xeokit Viewer, and the Viewer will automaticlly combine their geometry and metadata into the same scene.

Using `XKTModel`

XKTModel is a JavaScript class that represents the contents of an XKT file in memory.

It's a sort of XKT document model, with methods to build 3D objects within it, functions to import various model formats, and a function to serialize it to an XKT file.

We can use these tools to:

programmatically XKT files,
combine multiple models into an XKT file, from different formats,
develop custom XKT converters, and
extend convert2xkt to support more formats.

Programmatically Building an XKT File

To demonstrate the API, let's use XKTModel 's builder methods to programmatically build a model that resembles the screenshot below. Then we'll serialize the XKTModel to an ArrayBuffer, which we'll finally load that into a xeokit Viewer using XKTLoaderPlugin .

We'll code this example to run in the browser, using the ES module in xeokit-convert.es.js. We could also code it to run on node, using the CommonJS module in xeokit-convert.cjs.js.

XKTModel Example

const {
    XKTModel,
    writeXKTModelToArrayBuffer
} = require("@xeokit/xeokit-convert/dist/xeokit-convert.cjs.js");
const fs = require('fs');

const xktModel = new XKTModel();

// Create metamodel - this part is optional

// Create property sets to hold info about the model

xktModel.createPropertySet({
    propertySetId: "tableTopPropSet",
    propertySetType: "Default",
    propertySetName: "Table Top",
    properties: [
        {
            id: "tableTopMaterial",
            type: "Default",
            name: "Table top material",
            value: "Marble"
        },
        {
            id: "tableTopDimensions",
            type: "Default",
            name: "Table top dimensions",
            value: "90x90x3 cm"
        }
    ]
});

xktModel.createPropertySet({
    propertySetId: "tableLegPropSet",
    propertySetType: "Default",
    propertySetName: "Table Leg",
    properties: [
        {
            id: "tableLegMaterial",
            type: "Default",
            name: "Table leg material",
            value: "Pine"
        },
        {
            id: "tableLegDimensions",
            type: "Default",
            name: "Table leg dimensions",
            value: "5x5x50 cm"
        }
    ]
});

// Create a hierarchy of metaobjects to describe the structure of the model

xktModel.createMetaObject({ // Root XKTMetaObject, has no XKTEntity
    metaObjectId: "table",
    metaObjectName: "The Table",
    metaObjectType: "furniture"
});

xktModel.createMetaObject({
    metaObjectId: "redLeg",
    metaObjectName: "Red Table Leg",
    metaObjectType: "furniturePart",
    parentMetaObjectId: "table",
    propertySetIds: ["tableLegPropSet"]
});

xktModel.createMetaObject({
    metaObjectId: "greenLeg",
    metaObjectName: "Green Table Leg",
    metaObjectType: "furniturePart",
    parentMetaObjectId: "table",
    propertySetIds: ["tableLegPropSet"]
});

    metaObjectName: "Blue Table Leg",
    metaObjectType: "furniturePart",
    parentMetaObjectId: "table",
    propertySetIds: ["tableLegPropSet"]
});

xktModel.createMetaObject({
    metaObjectId: "yellowLeg",
    metaObjectName: "Yellow Table Leg",
    metaObjectType: "furniturePart",
    parentMetaObjectId: "table",

});

xktModel.createMetaObject({
    metaObjectId: "pinkTop",
    metaObjectName: "The Pink Table Top",
    metaObjectType: "furniturePart",
    parentMetaObjectId: "table",
    propertySetIds: ["tableTopPropSet"]
});

// Create an XKTGeometry that defines a box shape, as a triangle mesh 

xktModel.createGeometry({
    geometryId: "boxGeometry",
    primitiveType: "triangles", // Also "lines" and "points"

    ],
    indices: [

        20, 21, 22, 20, 22, 23
    ]
});

// Create five XKTMeshes, which represent the table top and legs.
// Each XKTMesh has its own color, position, orientation and size,

xktModel.createMesh({
    meshId: "redLegMesh",

    entityId: "yellowLeg",
    meshIds: ["yellowLegMesh"]
});

xktModel.createEntity({
    entityId: "pinkTop",
    meshIds: ["pinkTopMesh"]
});

Once we've built our XKTModel, we need to finalize it. Then it's ready to use. Note that finalizing is an asynhronous operation, so we await its completion before continuing.

await xktModel.finalize();

Serializing the XKTModel to an ArrayBuffer

Next, we'll use writeXKTModelToArrayBuffer to serialize our XKTModel to an ArrayBuffer.

const xktArrayBuffer = writeXKTModelToArrayBuffer(xktModel);

fs.writeFileSync("./myModel.xkt", xktArrayBuffer);

Loading the ArrayBuffer into a Viewer

Let's now create a Viewer, then load the ArrayBuffer into it using an XKTLoaderPlugin .

const viewer = new Viewer({
    canvasId: "myCanvas"
});

const xktLoader = new XKTLoaderPlugin(viewer);

const model = xktLoader.load({
    id: "myModel",
    src: "./myModel.xkt"
});

Finally, when the model has loaded, let's fit it in view.

model.on("loaded", () => {
    viewer.cameraFlight.flyTo(model);
});

Loading IFC into an XKTModel

Let's use parseIFCIntoXKTModel to import IFC into an XKTModel.

As before, we'll also use the classes and functions introduced in the previous examples to serialize the XKTModel to an ArrayBuffer, then load it into a Viewer.

const viewer = new Viewer({
    canvasId: "myCanvas"
});

const xktLoader = new XKTLoaderPlugin(viewer);

utils.loadArraybuffer("./assets/models/ifc/rac_advanced_sample_project.ifc", async (data) => {

        const xktModel = new XKTModel();

        parseIFCIntoXKTModel({data, xktModel, wasmPath: "../dist/"}).then(() => {

            xktModel.finalize().then(() => {

                const xktArrayBuffer = writeXKTModelToArrayBuffer(xktModel);

                xktLoader.load({
                    id: "myModel",
                    xkt: xktArrayBuffer,
                    edges: true
                });

                viewer.cameraFlight.flyTo(viewer.scene);
            });
        });
    },
    (errMsg) => {
    });

Loading LAS into an XKTModel

Let's use parseLASIntoXKTModel to import LAS into an XKTModel.

As before, we'll also use the classes and functions introduced in the previous examples to serialize the XKTModel to an ArrayBuffer, then load it into a Viewer.

const viewer = new Viewer({
    canvasId: "myCanvas"
});

const xktLoader = new XKTLoaderPlugin(viewer);

utils.loadArraybuffer("./assets/models/laz/indoor.0.1.laz", async (data) => {

        const xktModel = new XKTModel();

        parseLASIntoXKTModel({data, xktModel, rotateX: true}).then(() => {

            xktModel.finalize().then(() => {

                const xktArrayBuffer = writeXKTModelToArrayBuffer(xktModel);

                xktLoader.load({
                    id: "myModel",
                    xkt: xktArrayBuffer,
                    edges: true
                });

                viewer.cameraFlight.flyTo(viewer.scene);
            });
        });
    },
    (errMsg) => {
    });

Loading GLB into an XKTModel

Let's use parseGLTFIntoXKTModel to import binary glTF into an XKTModel.

We'll also use the classes and functions introduced in the previous examples to serialize the XKTModel to an ArrayBuffer, then validate the ArrayBuffer and load it into a Viewer.

const viewer = new Viewer({
    canvasId: "myCanvas"
});

const xktLoader = new XKTLoaderPlugin(viewer);

utils.loadArraybuffer("./assets/models/glb/MAP/MAP.glb", (glb) => {

        const xktModel = new XKTModel();

        parseGLTFIntoXKTModel({data: glb, xktModel: xktModel}).then(() => {

            xktModel.finalize().then(() => {

                const xktArrayBuffer = writeXKTModelToArrayBuffer(xktModel);

                xktLoader.load({
                    id: "myModel",
                    xkt: xktArrayBuffer
                });

                viewer.cameraFlight.flyTo(viewer.scene);
            });
        });
    },
    (errMsg) => {
    });

Loading STL into an XKTModel

Let's use parseSTLIntoXKTModel to import STL into an XKTModel.

As before, we'll also use the classes and functions introduced in the previous examples to serialize the XKTModel to an ArrayBuffer, then load it into a Viewer.

const viewer = new Viewer({
    canvasId: "myCanvas"
});

const xktLoader = new XKTLoaderPlugin(viewer);

utils.loadArraybuffer("./assets/models/stl/binary/spurGear.stl", (json) => {

        const xktModel = new XKTModel();

        parseSTLIntoXKTModel({stlData: json, xktModel: xktModel}).then(() => {

            xktModel.finalize().then(() => {

                const xktArrayBuffer = writeXKTModelToArrayBuffer(xktModel);

                xktLoader.load({
                    id: "myModel",
                    xkt: xktArrayBuffer
                });

                viewer.cameraFlight.flyTo(viewer.scene);
            });
        });
    },
    (errMsg) => {
    });

Building

Building Binaries

Building the binaries in ./dist:

npm update
npm run build

This will build:

./dist/convert2xkt.cjs.js - Nodejs CLI converter tool
./dist/xeokit-convert.cjs.js - CommonJS module library of XKT classes and functions
./dist/xeokit-convert.es.js - ES module library of XKT classes and functions
./dist/web-ifc.wasm - 3rd-party web-ifc WASM module

Building the JavaScript API documentation in ./docs:

npm run docs

RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds

With luck, the WASM module already be compiled appropriately for your target x86 system.

However, if you get this error:

RuntimeError: memory access out of bounds

then you will need to compile that WASM module for your target system. Please follow the instructions for that on the web-ifc project page, then replace ./dist/web-ifc.wasm with your compiled binary.

TypeError: fetch failed

This error is possible in in nodejs version 17+. As fix you will have to add the --no-experimental-fetch flag to the command.

node --no-experimental-fetch convert2xkt.js ...
