The Geotree plugin for BIMserver serialises IFC BIM models into a JSON document containing both the semantic hierarchy and geometry of the model. This enables the AURIN Asset Conversion Service (ACS) to convert IFC files into entities compatible with Atlas.
The Docker image can be used to easily deploy a BIMserver instance with the plugin already installed. For more details on running the BIMserver image, see the docker-bimserver repo.
To install the plugin:
- Install BIMserver as you normally would
- Compile the Geotree source to a JAR with
mvn package(or see releases) - Copy the compiled JAR to the
pluginsfolder in the directory to which you installed BIMserver - Restart the BIMserver service
To build docker from the parent directory:
- docker build --rm -t urbanetic/geotree-bimserver:latest -f docker/Dockerfile .
If the plugin was instaled successfully, you should be able to see a plugin called
JsonIfcGeometryTreeSerializerPlugin listed in the Plugins section of the admin view.
Note that to compile, you will need to specify a Maven repository to provide the BIMserver
dependencies. The relevant JARs are in the lib archive of the official releases. Official
Maven support for the BIMserver libraries is an open issue.
