ProtoTech developed a custom viewer on the Autodesk Forge platform to facilitate 3D navigation for managing Dynamic Glasses. This web-based user interface (UI) utilizes Autodesk Forge APIs and the Autodesk Viewer to provide users with a seamless experience when interacting with Autodesk Revit files. The viewer is designed to enhance the visualization and management of Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) such as windows, doors, and skylights.

ProtoTech developed a custom viewer in Autodesk Platform Services(Forge) for 3D navigation, in order to manage View Dynamic Glasses. Working seamlessly with Autodesk Revit files, this web-based UI employs Autodesk Platform Services (Forge) APIs and the Autodesk Viewer, offering users an immersive 3D navigation experience.

Key Features:

State Depiction: Users can view the tint stages of glass (stages 1-4) and transitions, enabling better decision-making regarding glass selection.
IGU Selection: The viewer allows users to select groups of IGUs within designated zones or through the Window Controller (WC).
Custom UI Controls: The interface includes specialized controls for dynamic glass scenarios, enabling users to rotate around selected glass units and detect the camera’s position (inside or outside the building), facilitating easy navigation based on user-defined parameters.

Composing Modular Code: Writing modular code so that it can be integrated quickly into existing software’s large code base.
Camera Position Switching: The challenge was to ensure smooth camera position switching, allowing users to traverse effortlessly between the immersive interiors and the captivating exteriors.
Precise Camera Adjustments: Skillfully fine-tuning the camera’s position and orientation to exclusively target and rotate around the specifically chosen entities, ensuring a seamless and immersive user experience.

Crafting Modular Components for Smooth Interaction: The team conducted a comprehensive analysis of the software’s architecture and identified the key points of integration. This helped to create modular components that could function independently and also interact with the existing code base seamlessly.
Sophisticated Algorithm for Fluid Movement: ProtoTech designed a sophisticated camera transition algorithm that gracefully moved the camera from one perspective to another, avoiding abrupt movements that could disrupt the user experience.
3D Vector Calculations for Smooth Navigation: ProtoTech incorporated advanced 3D vector calculations and real-time updates to ensure that the camera remained centered on the selected entities throughout the navigation.

ProtoTech’s expertise in Forge platform, Forge APIs and 3D vector algebra helped ‘View’ to implement the features for end users within the scheduled time.

Enhanced User Experience: With its intuitive controls and seamless integration, users can effortlessly navigate through 3D models of their smart glass installations, gaining valuable insights and optimizing their designs for maximum natural light and views.
Streamlined Design Process: The viewer’s ability allows for quick and precise adjustments to the smart glass configuration, saving valuable time and resources during the design phase.
Improved Decision-Making: The immersive 3D navigation experience offered by the custom viewer empowers View’s customers to make informed decisions about their smart glass installations. They can visualize how natural light will flow into their spaces, assess the impact on energy efficiency, and optimize their designs to create healthier and more productive environments.
