BIM APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
ProtoTech’s BIM Application Development Services encompass the design, development, and customization of cutting-edge applications tailored to meet the specific needs of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
BIM APPLICATION AND PLUGIN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES - STREAMLINE YOUR AEC WORKFLOWS
Leverage ProtoTech’s expertise in customizing Building Information Modelling (BIM) Applications and Plug-ins to design and deliver scalable infrastructure plans. Explore constructability, manage project costs and collaborate effectively with your Architecture, Engineering, and Construction teams through connected workflows using the App.
The structural design and detailing features let you digitize construction sites, Improve mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design quality, handle intelligent piping and more throughout the project lifecycle. ProtoTech lets you easily manage data from other sources like Excel spreadsheets, MySQL databases or cloud-based applications to render models in various BIM formats to virtually represent a realistic model.

BIM APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT – TOOLKITS
For one of the US based client, we have done customization on Forge viewer. Here the model is loaded from A360 drive to Forge Viewer. We have changed the color and transparency of selected entities. Added new simpler custom controls to Forge Viewer so that loaded model can be controlled easily as per user requirements. Have handle camera movements – to move camera around the center of model, move camera around and in front of selected entity, move camera inside and outside of the loaded building model.
Teigha SDK from Open Design Alliance
Our team used ODA's SDK in “Json To Dwg Converter”. This project has focused on converting WegGL files to DWG files. THREE.js is a very successful WebGL platform for web pages to create & use 3D rendering. We converted WebGL models into DWG / DXF formats using ODA's Teigha. This tool worked as an intermediate layer to bridge between web & desktop apps. We imported JSON files exported from THREE.js toJSON() method for a WebGL Scene, then exported to DWG files.
XeoGl based GLTF viewer
Understanding the need for the client to have a GLTF Viewer based on a browser that can load wide GLTF model (> 100 MB) on low end android devices. Two major challenges faced -
- To optimize 3D model and display it on Viewer.
- To have CAD controls like zoom pan rotation (ZPR) in viewer with Orthographic camera.
Our team investigated all possible ways of optimizing 3D models without changing the hierarchy. To optimize models we used the following methods.
- Rendering parts of large assembly models dynamically.
- Minimise draw calls.
- Render model only when required.
- Reduce redundancy of data in model.
- Use level of detail.
