Use BIM360 Model Coordination transform position in Forge Viewer?


When using Model Coordination in BIM360, we can reposition a model with the "transform" function.

Is it possible to acces this transform value when loading models in the Forge viewer? We are using the "AggregatedView" methods to load models.


Solution

  • This data is stored in the view of the specific model set version. you will need to use Model Coordination API to get it. https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/mc-modelset-service-v3-get-model-set-view-version-GET/ This is a snapshot of my test. alignment tells data of transformation

    It looks the API document above has not updated with the related information. I am reporting this to engineer team.

    If you have not been familiar with Model Coordination API. The tutorial and Postman collection might help: https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/tutorials/model-coordination/ https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/postman-collections-model-coordination-api
