[agviegas]

Description 📝

Right now we can see geometries and alignments. It would be awesome to be able to display IFCGRIDs.

Suggested solution 💡

Generate the IFCGRID geometry in the IFCLoader code.

@agviegas,

Awesome that feature request is considered. This will help to explore the building and measure the orientation of the elements visually. Looking forward to seeing the IfcGrid in the viewer.

Is there any way to build out this functionality ourselves? Building out elements within That Open viewer with visual references would greatly benefit the AEC ecosystem!

[agviegas]

@emmyxth Yep! Our libraries allow to read all IFC data. So you need to:

1. Get an IFC with a grid
2. Open the IFC with a text editor and see how the grid is expressed
3. Think of a strategy to build it with Three.js geometries
4. Do it
