Selecting Cesium entities through HTML elements - cesiumjs

Is it possible to select Cesium entities created on the Cesium viewer and select them through HTML elements, for example a button? Or is it possible to select them only through the viewer itself?

It's possible to select them from code. Assign viewer.selectedEntity to the desired entity. You may also assign viewer.trackedEntity to zoom to the entity and follow it with the camera.
Here's a Sandcastle Demo.
const viewer = new Cesium.Viewer("cesiumContainer", {
shouldAnimate: true,
});
Cesium.CzmlDataSource.load("../SampleData/simple.czml").then(function(dataSource) {
viewer.dataSources.add(dataSource);
var iss = dataSource.entities.getById("Satellite/ISS");
var agi = dataSource.entities.getById("Facility/AGI");
Sandcastle.addDefaultToolbarButton("Select ISS", function () {
viewer.selectedEntity = iss;
});
Sandcastle.addDefaultToolbarButton("Select AGI", function () {
viewer.selectedEntity = agi;
});
Sandcastle.addDefaultToolbarButton("Deselect", function () {
viewer.selectedEntity = undefined;
});
});

Autodesk Forge AggregatedView viewing a "stitched" geometry rather than a smooth one

I have a simple forge app to view 3d models. At first, I initiated the forge viewer with GuiViewer3D class but then wanted to implement AggregatedView instead.
My problem is that AggregatedView shows the model correctly but it shows it as being "stitched" together. Whereas, if I use GuiViewer3D or Viewer3D, the model looks smooth and clean.
I have looked into the globalOffset but in any solution, the globalOffset is the same, and hence should not be the cause here.
This is how the model should look like (GuiViewer3D)
But this is how it looks like instea using AggregatedView
I am not quite sure what the issue here. I am using an .fbx file as the source of 3d model.
This the code of AggregatedView()
var view = new Autodesk.Viewing.AggregatedView();
function launchViewer(urn) {
var options = {
env: 'AutodeskProduction',
getAccessToken: getForgeToken
};
Autodesk.Viewing.Initializer(options, () => {
var htmlDiv = document.getElementById('forgeViewer');
view.init(htmlDiv, options);
var documentId = 'urn:' + urn;
view.unloadAll();
Autodesk.Viewing.Document.load(documentId, onDocumentLoadSuccess, onDocumentLoadFailure);
});
}
function onDocumentLoadSuccess(doc) {
var nodes = doc.getRoot().search({ role:'3d', type: 'geometry' });
console.log(nodes);
view.setNodes(nodes[0]);
}
function onDocumentLoadFailure(viewErrorCode, viewErrorMsg) {
console.error('onDocumentLoadFailure() - errorCode:' + viewErrorCode + '\n- errorMessage:' + viewErrorMsg);
}
function getForgeToken(callback) {
fetch('/api/forge/oauth/token').then(res => {
res.json().then(data => {
callback(data.access_token, data.expires_in);
});
});
}
Many thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
After setting the global offset to (0,0,0), the geometry still looks "Stitched" together rather than smooth.
The pivot point is not the global offset. Please use viewer.getAllModels().map( model => model.getGlobalOffset() ) to check that instead. For AggreagateView, you can get the viewer instance via view.viewer;
In addition, AggreagateView loads models in the shared coordinate (applyRefPoint: true), so your model might be far away from the viewer's origin. Could you try this to see if it helps?
const options3d = {
getCustomLoadOptions: (bubble, data) => {
console.log(bubble, data);
return {
applyRefPoint: false //!<<< Disable Share Coordinate
// globalOffset: new THREE.Vector3( 543.0811920166016, 9.154923574611564, -1442.591747316564 ) //!<<< uncomment this to specify your globalOffset, but you need to include `applyRefPoint: false` above together.
// createWireframe: false
};
}
};
view.init(viewerDiv, options3d);

Autodesk Forge Viewer Api Cannot load markups inside screenshot

Good day,
I am using the latest Autodesk forge viewer and I am trying to take a screenshot that also renders my markups. Right now my code takes a screenshot without any markups. Below is my viewer code. I am loading markups Core and markups Gui extensions. Notice the "takeSnapshot(viewer)" function inside onDocumentLoadSuccess(viewerDocument). The function is defined right before the initializer function.
function takeSnapshot(target){
$('#snipViewer').click( () => {
target.getScreenShot(1600, 920, (blobURL) => {
let snip = blobURL;
$('#sniplink').attr("href", snip);
$('#sniplink').html('Not Empty');
$('#sniplink').css({"background-image": `url(${blobURL})`});
});
});
}
//Autodesk Viewer Code
instance.data.showViewer = function showViewer(viewerAccessToken, viewerUrn){
localStorage.setItem("viewerAccessTokentoken", viewerAccessToken);
localStorage.setItem("viewerUrn", viewerUrn);
var viewer;
var options = {
env: 'AutodeskProduction',
api: 'derivativeV2',
getAccessToken: function(onTokenReady) {
var token = viewerAccessToken;
var timeInSeconds = 3600;
onTokenReady(token, timeInSeconds);
}
};
Autodesk.Viewing.Initializer(options, function() {
let htmlDiv = document.getElementById('forgeViewer');
viewer = new Autodesk.Viewing.GuiViewer3D(htmlDiv);
let startedCode = viewer.start();
viewer.setTheme("light-theme");
viewer.loadExtension("Autodesk.CustomDocumentBrowser").then(() => {
viewer.loadExtension("Autodesk.Viewing.MarkupsCore");
viewer.loadExtension("Autodesk.Viewing.MarkupsGui");
});
if (startedCode > 0) {
console.error('Failed to create a Viewer: WebGL not supported.');
$("#loadingStatus").html("Failed to create a Viewer: WebGL not supported.");
return;
}
console.log('Initialization complete, loading a model next...');
});
var documentId = `urn:` + viewerUrn;
var derivativeId = `urn:` + instance.derivativeUrn;
Autodesk.Viewing.Document.load(documentId, onDocumentLoadSuccess, onDocumentLoadFailure);
function onDocumentLoadSuccess(viewerDocument) {
var defaultModel = viewerDocument.getRoot().getDefaultGeometry();
viewer.loadDocumentNode(viewerDocument, defaultModel);
takeSnapshot(viewer);
}
function onDocumentLoadFailure() {
console.error('Failed fetching Forge manifest');
$("#loadingStatus").html("Failed fetching Forge manifest.");
}
}
I have already read this article: https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/screenshot-markups
I have tried doing this method but the instructions are very unclear for me. <div style="width:49vw; height:100vh;display:inline-block;"><canvas id="snapshot" style="position:absolute;"></canvas><button onclick="snaphot();" style="position:absolute;">Snapshot!</button></div>
What is the canvas element here for? Am I supposed to renderToCanvas() when I load the markups extension inside the initialize function or in my screenshot function? Is there some way I can implement the renderToCanvas() without changing too much of what I already am using here? I am not an expert with the viewer API so please if you could help me it would be very much appreciated, I am a beginner please don't skip many steps.
Thank you very much!
Here's a bit more simplified logic for generating screenshots with markups in Forge Viewer, with a bit more explanation on why it needs to be done this way below:
function getViewerScreenshot(viewer) {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
const screenshot = new Image();
screenshot.onload = () => resolve(screenshot);
screenshot.onerror = err => reject(err);
viewer.getScreenShot(viewer.container.clientWidth, viewer.container.clientHeight, function (blobURL) {
screenshot.src = blobURL;
});
});
}
function addMarkupsToScreenshot(viewer, screenshot) {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
const markupCoreExt = viewer.getExtension('Autodesk.Viewing.MarkupsCore');
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = viewer.container.clientWidth;
canvas.height = viewer.container.clientHeight;
const context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
context.drawImage(screenshot, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
markupCoreExt.renderToCanvas(context, function () {
resolve(canvas);
});
});
}
const screenshot = await getViewerScreenshot(viewer);
const canvas = await addMarkupsToScreenshot(viewer, screenshot);
const link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = canvas.toDataURL();
link.download = 'screenshot.png';
link.click();
Basically, the markups extension can only render its markups (and not the underlying 2D/3D scene) into an existing <canvas> element. That's why this is a multi-step process:
You render the underlying 2D/3D scene using viewer.getScreenShot, getting a blob URL that contains the screenshot image data
You create a new <canvas> element
You insert the screenshot into the canvas (in this case we create a new Image instance and render it into the canvas using context.drawImage)
You call the extension's renderToCanvas that will render the markups in the canvas on top of the screenshot image

Button for markupCore extension not showing in dockingpanel

I have followed Philippe Leefsma's tutorial on how to implement the markup tool, but without any luck. Link here: http://adndevblog.typepad.com/cloud_and_mobile/2016/02/playing-with-the-new-view-data-markup-api.html
and here: https://developer.api.autodesk.com/viewingservice/v1/viewers/docs/tutorial-feature_markup.html
I get errors that I need to include requireJS, but I don't want to use it. So instead I used this script in my html file:
<script src="https://autodeskviewer.com/viewers/2.2/extensions/MarkupsCore.js">
I don't know if this is the right way to go? I get no errors in the console, but the markup button doesn't show up in the dockingpanel.
This is my code for loading the extension in the viewer:
viewerApp = null;
function initializeViewer(containerId, urn, params) {
function getToken(url) {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
$.get(url, function (response) {
resolve(response.access_token);
});
});
}
var initOptions = {
documentId: 'urn:' + urn,
env: 'AutodeskProduction',
getAccessToken: function (onGetAccessToken) {
getToken(params.gettokenurl).then(function (val) {
var accessToken = val;
var expireTimeSeconds = 60 * 30;
onGetAccessToken(accessToken, expireTimeSeconds);
});
}
}
function onDocumentLoaded(doc) {
var rootItem = doc.getRootItem();
// Grab all 3D items
var geometryItems3d =
Autodesk.Viewing.Document.getSubItemsWithProperties(
rootItem, { 'type': 'geometry', 'role': '3d' }, true);
// Grab all 2D items
var geometryItems2d =
Autodesk.Viewing.Document.getSubItemsWithProperties(
rootItem, { 'type': 'geometry', 'role': '2d' }, true);
// Pick the first 3D item otherwise first 2D item
var selectedItem = (geometryItems3d.length ?
geometryItems3d[0] :
geometryItems2d[0]);
var domContainer = document.getElementById('viewerContainer');
var config = { extensions: ["Autodesk.Viewing.MarkupsCore"] };
// GUI Version: viewer with controls
var viewer = new Autodesk.Viewing.Private.GuiViewer3D(domContainer, config);
viewer.loadExtension("Autodesk.Viewing.MarkupsCore");
viewer.initialize();
viewer.loadModel(doc.getViewablePath(selectedItem));
var extension = viewer.getExtension("Autodesk.Viewing.MarkupsCore");
viewerApp = viewer;
}
function onEnvInitialized() {
Autodesk.Viewing.Document.load(
initOptions.documentId,
function (doc) {
onDocumentLoaded(doc);
},
function (errCode) {
onLoadError(errCode);
})
}
function onLoadError(errCode) {
console.log('Error loading document: ' + errCode);
}
Autodesk.Viewing.Initializer(
initOptions,
function () {
onEnvInitialized()
})
}
Any help is highly appreciated!
Unfortunately there has been a few changes to the API since I wrote that blog post. The MarkupCore.js is now included in the viewer3D.js source, so you don't need to reference any extra file or use requireJS if you use the latest version of the viewer API.
Keep in mind that this is an API-only feature, so even after loading the markup extension, you won't get any UI out of the box. You have to implemented it yourself, for example create a dialog with buttons that may eventually create markups by calling the API.
Some of the code from my blog post may still be valid and give you an idea about what you need to do.
Hope that helps.

Autodesk Forge - How to stop recoloring of object when selected

Our elements are color coded so when a user selects one we just want to isolate it in the views (which works as expected) BUT we don't want it to change to the selection color - where can we control this?
Use selection event to find which object has been selected, cancel the selection and isolate the selected dbId, is this the behavior you are looking for?
AutodeskNamespace("Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension");
Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension.Basic = function (viewer, options) {
Autodesk.Viewing.Extension.call(this, viewer, options);
var _this = this;
_this.load = function () {
console.log('LOAD')
viewer.addEventListener(
Autodesk.Viewing.AGGREGATE_SELECTION_CHANGED_EVENT, function(e) {
//console.log(e)
if(e.selections.length) {
var dbId = e.selections[0].dbIdArray[0]
viewer.select([])
viewer.isolate(dbId)
}
})
return true;
};
_this.unload = function () {
Autodesk.Viewing.theExtensionManager.unregisterExtension(
"Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension.Basic");
return true;
};
};
Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension.Basic.prototype =
Object.create(Autodesk.Viewing.Extension.prototype);
Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension.Basic.prototype.constructor =
Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension.Basic;
Autodesk.Viewing.theExtensionManager.registerExtension(
"Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension.Basic",
Autodesk.ADN.Viewing.Extension.Basic);
In case you want to keep the selection just not make it blue in the UI, you can change the selection material's opacity to see-through:
viewer.impl.selectionMaterialBase.opacity = 0;
viewer.impl.selectionMaterialTop.opacity = 0;
Now when you click on an object it won't turn blue.

Load JSON file to Backbone collection

Hi I'm looking for proper solution to load JSON to Backbone collection. I saw a lot of post with this problem, but I still don't understand how to do it correctly.
For example, Could You explain me please why this project doesn't work?
http://blog.joelberghoff.com/2012/07/22/backbone-js-tutorial-part-1/
Edit:
When I look at the results using Firebug, it shows me an empty object, collection is empty.
Why?
EDIT:
hmmm, still doesn't work :/ Now I don't see anything in firebug and one the page. :(
$(function() {
var Profile = Backbone.Model.extend();
var ProfileList = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: Profile,
url: 'profiles.json'
});
var ProfileView = Backbone.View.extend({
el: "#profiles",
template: _.template($('#profileTemplate').html()),
render: function(eventName) {
_.each(this.model.models, function(profile){
var profileTemplate = this.template(profile.toJSON());
$(this.el).append(profileTemplate);
}, this);
return this;
}
});
var profiles = new ProfileList();
var profilesView = new ProfileView({model: profiles});
var profiles = new ProfileList();
profiles.fetch();
profiles.bind('reset', function () {
console.log(profiles);
profilesView.render();
});
});
Your fetch call is asynchronous, as I'm sure it's written in the tutorial. So when you're doing the console.log, your collection is still empty.
Farther in the tutorial..:
var profiles = new ProfileList();
profiles.fetch({reset: true});
profiles.bind('reset', function () { console.log(profiles); });
This should work.
