# Models

A state Model is a model object from API (opens new window) extended with some additional fields.

interface Model extends ApiModel {
  structure: Object;
  uuids: Map<string, StateObject>;
  objects: StateObject[];
  storeys: Storey[];
}

The structure object is obtained by fetching and parsing the file pointed by the model structure_file property.

The uuids map can be used to retrieve model objects directly (using their uuids).

The objects array is the list of model objects.

The storeys array is the list of model storeys. Storey objects have the following interface:

interface Storey {
  uuid: string;
  name: string;
  model: Model;        // model that contain the storey
  plans: Plan[];       // list of storey plans
  object: StateObject; // storey object (from IFC)
  uuids: Set<string>;  // UUIDs of all storey descendents

  elevation: number;         // vertical position (z) of the storey in model coordinates
  topElevation: number;      // elevation of the next storey (in model coordinates)
  absoluteElevation: number; // vertical position of the storey (z) in world coordinates
  absoluteTopElevation: number; // elevation of the next storey (in world coordinates)

  key: string; // storey unique key
}

interface Plan {
  plan: ApiModel; /* see: https://api.bimdata.io/doc#/model/getModel */
  translation_x: number;
  translation_y: number;
  rotate_z: number;
  scale: number;
  opacity: number;

  key: string; // plan unique key
}

# Objects

interface StateObject {
  // Properties
  id: number;
  uuid: string;
  name: string;
  longname: string;
  type: string;
  object_type: string;
  model: Model;
  parent: StateObject;
  children: StateObject[];

  // State
  visible: boolean;
  pickable: boolean;
  selected: boolean;
  highlighted: boolean;
  xrayed: boolean;
  color: string;

  // Advanced getters
  readonly descendants: StateObject[];
  readonly ancestors: StateObject[];
  readonly site: StateObject;
  readonly building: StateObject;
  readonly storey: StateObject;
  readonly layout: StateObject;
  readonly space: StateObject;
  getFirstAncestorWithType: (type: string) => StateObject;
}

# Objects maps

Name Description
objectsMap: Map<string, StateObject> A Map of all objects keyed by id.
uuidsMap: Map<string, StateObject[]> A Map of all objects keyed by uuids.

Note: As object uuids may not be unique, uuidsMap.get() always returns an array of objects.

# Objects getters

The state provide getters that allows to quickly access a set of objects with specific properties.

Name Description
properties
visibleObjects List of visible objects.
unvisibleObjects List of objects that are not visible.
pickableObjects List of pickable objects.
unpickableObjects List of objects that are not pickable.
selectedObjects List of selected objects.
deselectedObjects List of objects that are not selected.
highlightedObjects List of highlighted objects.
unhighlightedObjects List of objects that are not highlighted.
xrayedObjects List of xrayed objects.
unxrayedObjects List of objects that are not xrayed.
colorizedObjects List of colorized objects.
methods
getObject(id: number) Returns the object with the specified id.
getObjectsByUuids(uuids: string[]) Returns objects with corresponding uuids.
getObjectsOfType(type: string) Returns objects with corresponding type.
getObjectsWithTheSameTypeAs(ids: number[] | Set<number>) Returns all objects with the same type as objects ids.
getTypesOf(ids: number[] | Set<number>) Returns all the types of the corresponding objects.

Note: for convenience, all getter properties have also ids and uuids equivalent:

$viewer.state.selectedObjects;      // list of selected objects
$viewer.state.selectedObjectsIds;   // list of selected objects ids
$viewer.state.selectedObjectsUuids; // list of selected objects uuids

# Objects setters

Setters allows to update the objects state.

Name Description
showObjects(ids: number[], options?: any) Show objects.
hideObjects(ids: number[], options?: any) Hide objects.
setObjectsPickable(ids: number[], options?: any) Set objects as pickable.
setObjectsUnpickable(ids: number[], options?: any) Set objects as unpickable.
selectObjects(ids: number[], options?: any) Select objects.
deselectObjects(ids: number[], options?: any) Deselect objects.
highlightObjects(ids: number[], options?: any) Highlight objects.
unhighlightObjects(ids: number[], options?: any) Unhighlight objects.
xrayObjects(ids: number[], options?: any) Xray objects.
unxrayObjects(ids: number[], options?: any) Unxray objects.
colorizeObjects(ids: number[], color?: string, options?: any) Set objects color (ex: "#FFFFFF").

Note: as for getters, setters have uuids equivalent as well:

$viewer.state.selectObjects(ids);          // selects objects by ids
$viewer.state.selectObjectsByUuids(uuids); // selects objects by uuids

Moreover, every setter has an optional options argument that can be used to pass additional data to the triggered event payload. This provide more flexibility and allows to handle some complex use cases.

An example usage is to ensure that a plugin will not "auto-trigger" itself by emitting an "objects-selected" event while still being able to react to other plugins "objects-selected" events:

this.$viewer.state.hub.on("objects-selected", ({ objects, options }) => {
  if (options.emitter === this) return;
  /* Do something if the event comes from another plugin. */
});

// Pass an `emitter` option to ensure the plugin will not trigger itself
this.$viewer.state.selectObjects(ids, { emitter: this });

# Annotations

The state provide a way to manage a set of annotation objects.

interface Annotation {
  // Coordinates
  x: number;
  y: number; 
  z: number;
  // Vue component used to render annotation on viewer
  component: any;
  // Optional props to pass to the annotation component
  props?: any;
}

Annotation related fields and methods:

Name Description
annotations The list of all annotations (read only)
addAnnotation(annotation, options) Add an annotation to the state
removeAnnotation(annotation, options) Remove the given annotation from state
clearAnnotations() Remove all annotations from state

TIP

For more information about the state hub interface, see the hub reference.

Examples:

state.hub.on("models-loaded", ({ models }) => {
  /* Handle newly loaded models */
});

state.hub.on("objects-selected", ({ objects, options }) => {
  /* Do something with selected objects */
});
