Interface InfiniteEngineInterface

The InfiniteEngineInterface interface is used to render the content of the DMU.

The usage is very basic :

• create an InfiniteEngineInterface.
• bind it to a DataSessionInterface.
• connect it to a DOMElement.
• change the way geometric instances are rendered.

WARNING : There is no automatic conversion of the content of WorkingSetInterface to the 3D engine. It is the role of the web application to show/hide/ghost geometries depending on the application needs.

Initialization.

The InfiniteEngineInterface is initialized by an InfiniteFactory.
The InfiniteEngineInterface is connected to a DataSessionInterface with InfiniteEngineInterface.bindDataSession or DataSessionInterface.bindInfiniteEngine. The use of the InfiniteEngineInterface is only relevant when a DataSessionInterface is connected to a 3djuump Infinite build.

/** 
 * Sample to illustrate the initialization of an InfiniteEngineInterface.
 */
import { InfiniteEngineInterface, InfiniteFactory, InfiniteEngineInterfaceSignal, tListenerCallback, DataSessionInterface } from 'generated_files/documentation/appinfiniteapi';

// the callback when a pick request is completed
let onPicking : tListenerCallback;
// the Data session, created previously
let lDataSession : DataSessionInterface;

// create an Infinite engine
const lInfiniteEngine : InfiniteEngineInterface = InfiniteFactory.CreateInfiniteEngine();
// bind the data session and the Infinite engine
lDataSession.bindInfiniteEngine(lInfiniteEngine);

// get the html element that will host the 3d rendering
const lView3D: HTMLElement = document.getElementById('rendering');
// bind the rendering to the given div
lInfiniteEngine.setView(lView3D);
// and use anti-aliasing => smoother
lInfiniteEngine.enableAntiAliasing(true);
// register the callback for pick result
lInfiniteEngine.addEventListener(InfiniteEngineInterfaceSignal.Picked, onPicking);

Rendering.

The InfiniteEngineInterface display is governed by a resource controller. Indeed, the display is based on some low definition rendering of the DMU, and HD geometric data rendered on top of it. The amount of acceptable data is governed by the InfiniteEnginePerformanceInterface that provides a way to set the budgets. Such budgets rely heavily on the hardware of the end-user. It is recommended to allow the end-user to manipulate such budgets.
The low definition version of the DMU is composed of a static version (not configurable), and a dynamic one, whom triangle number can be configured.

/** 
 * Sample to illustrate setting some performance settings of the InfiniteEngineInterface 
 * by using the PerformanceInterface.
 */
import { InfiniteEngineInterface, InfiniteEnginePerformanceInterface } from 'generated_files/documentation/appinfiniteapi';

// created previously
let lInfiniteEngine : InfiniteEngineInterface;
// get the performance interface
const lPerformanceInfos : InfiniteEnginePerformanceInterface = lInfiniteEngine.getPerformance();

// reset the number of triangles to display in the dynamic low definition DMU
lPerformanceInfos.setMaxDynamicLowDefTrianglesDisplayedCount(lPerformanceInfos.GetMaxDynamicLowDefTrianglesDefault());
// reset the number of total triangles to be displayed
lPerformanceInfos.setMaxTrianglesDisplayedCount(lPerformanceInfos.GetMaxTrianglesDefault());
// reset the VRAM (RAM on the GPU) amount to be used 
lPerformanceInfos.setMaxRenderingMemory(lPerformanceInfos.GetMaxRenderingMemoryDefault());
// reset the RAM to use when downloading data (if geometries are too big, less geometries will be downloaded at the same time)
lPerformanceInfos.setMaxWorkingMemory(lPerformanceInfos.GetMaxWorkingMemoryDefault());

Copy

The state of the resource controller (ok, out of budget, running) is retrieved from getResourceLoadingState and the LoadingStates enumeration.

 /** 
 * Sample to illustrate getting the loading state (updating, ok, out of budget) of the InfiniteEngineInterface.
 */
import { InfiniteEngineInterface, LoadingStates } from 'generated_files/documentation/appinfiniteapi';

// created previously
let lInfiniteEngine : InfiniteEngineInterface;
// gets the loading state of the resource controller when the DMU has been loaded
const lLoadingState : LoadingStates = lInfiniteEngine.getResourceLoadingState();
// and output its value
console.log('current loading state ' + lLoadingState);

Copy

An optional InfiniteCacheInterface may be included in the DataSessionInterface upon creation to speed up the retrieving of HD geometric data.

Geometric instances are accessed through their geometric instance ids, and each geometric instance may be :

• Hidden : object is not displayed.
• Selected : objet is rendered in a pulsing color, depending on the current object color.
• Ghosted : the object is rendered semi transparent in a light blue color.
• Ignore cut plane : object cannot be hidden by a cut plane.

Such a state is a bit field, and bits can be changed in a batch for multiple geometric instances.
Use VisualStates with updateGeometricState, getGeometricState and updateGeometricStateForAll functions to change the way geometries are rendered. The visibility is coded on a 8 bits unsigned number.

In the following examples, x represent an irrelevant bit :

/** 
 * Sample to illustrate how to change the visibility of a set of `geometric instances`.
 */
import { InfiniteEngineInterface, VisualStates } from 'generated_files/documentation/appinfiniteapi';

// created previously
let lInfiniteEngine : InfiniteEngineInterface;

// 8 bits for visibility
// sets all instances visible and not ghosted (do not care about "x" values)
//                      Mask                            => xxxx 1101

// we want to set                                       => xxxx 00x0
// we can use 0 for values !!!!
lInfiniteEngine.updateGeometricStateForAll(VisualStates.S_Ghost | VisualStates.S_Hidden, 0);

// sets 2 instances hidden, but clear the ghost for them, and clear selection
//                      Mask                            => xxxx 1111

// we want to set                                       => xxxx 1001
// we can use VisualStates.S_Hidden for values !!!!
const lCurrentGeometries : Uint32Array = new Uint32Array(2);
lCurrentGeometries[0] = 57;
lCurrentGeometries[1] = 64;
lInfiniteEngine.updateGeometricState(lCurrentGeometries, VisualStates.S_Ghost | VisualStates.S_Hidden | VisualStates.S_Selected, VisualStates.S_Hidden);

The color of each `geometric instance` can be modified with the use of the MaterialManagerInterface accessed through getMaterialManager. The MaterialManagerInterface stores the properties of the default and user defined materials.
It is recommended to reuse (if possible) user defined materials since only a limited number of materials can be created. Materials are accessed by their id (a positive number). Colors are defined as a Vector3, `x` being the red component, `y` being the green component, `z` the blue component in the `[0:1]` range (e.g `[1,0,0]` is pure red, `[0,1,0]` is pure green, ...).

Changing materials.

2 rendering modes are available : a default one with some default lights, rendering is done accounting for the primitives normal, and a 'flat' one, where lights and normal are ignored, displaying only the material color of the geometries. Changing the rendering mode is done through setRenderingMode.

Picking.

The "picking" is the action to get the visible item under a specific position in the 3d view. The picking is dependant on the state of the resource controller, i.e. querying multiple picks at the same location without changing the camera position may result in different results, depending on the loaded data.

The pick result will tell the :

• 3D geometry
• Annotation
• Primitive line
• Primitive box
• Primitive line That is under the given pixel.
  If you request to pick only the closest item, then only the closest 3D geometry, Annotation, Primitive will be included in the result : e.g. if the 3D geometry is the closest item to the camera, then only the given id will be included in the picking result, discarding any primitive / annotation that may also be under the given pixel.

The picking is asynchronous, meaning a InfiniteEngineInterfaceSignal.Picked signal is triggered when the result is available, with an attachment of the PickingAttachment type, which stores for each picked object :

• its id (geometric instance id/point id/line id/box id).
• its closest 3D position (a virtual ray is casted on the scene for each picking position, the resulting point is the closest point of the set of the intersection of these rays and the object).
• the number of times this object is intersected (minimum one).
• the picking request id (please see getLastPickingRequestId).

Multiple pick requests can be queued, calling multiple times InfiniteEngineInterface.pickAt without waiting for the result will trigger multiple InfiniteEngineInterfaceSignal.Picked events, they can be distinguished with their picking request ids (InfiniteEngineInterface.getLastPickingRequestId and PickingAttachment.pickingRequestId).
Geometric instances, lines, boxes, and points are queried at the same time on a single pick request (see PrimitiveManagerLineInterface, PrimitiveManagerBoxInterface, PrimitiveManagerPointInterface). The computePickRay and projectToScreen functions may be used with the pick functions to make some more 3D calculations. You may pick a single point (InfiniteEngineInterface.pickAt), a rectangular area (InfiniteEngineInterface.pickRect), or the 3D that intersects a 3D ray. There are some limitations to the 3D ray pick :

• The ray must be oriented toward the direction of the camera (the dot vector between the direction of the camera and the direction of the ray must be positive).
• Only 3D elements actually rendered may be picked (no ray pick outside the frustum).
• The pick ray algorithm rely on the projection of the surfaces to the near plane, objects that are less than 2 pixels wide and 2 pixels high cannot be picked.

The picking system works with client coordinates :

• x between 0 and clientWidth-1.
• y between 0 and clientHeight-1.

The actual picked point follows the following convention :
The PrimitiveManagerRubberBandInterface can be used to display a rectangular area on top of the 3d rendering element.

Screenshots.

Screenshots can be performed with the screenshot call. The screenshot procedure is asynchronous, and the InfiniteEngineInterfaceSignal.ScreenshotReady event is fired when the screenshot is ready. The screenshot call returns an id, and this is must match the attachment of the InfiniteEngineInterfaceSignal.ScreenshotReady event which is an InfiniteImageInterface (InfiniteImageInterface.screenshotid). An empty string means the screenshot procedure has failed (a missing setView call probably). An empty InfiniteImageInterface.width or InfiniteImageInterface.height means the image is invalid. Multiple screenshot calls can be executed concurrently.

You may want to call setFixedResolution to get a screenshot of this size.

Camera manipulation.

The camera is manipulated from the CameraManagerInterface, accessed through getCameraManager. Some default behaviors are available in order to avoid the developer to code a lot of event handling in order to make the camera move in an interesting way. Multiple behaviors are available, e.g. orbital ones, when the camera moves around a center of interest.

You may create animations to move, rotate the camera.

Cut Plane manipulation.

A cut plane is a theoretical 3D plane that "cut" objects. A cut plane (3D Affine hyperplane) is defined by a position P that belong to the plane and a normal N : (Nx,Ny,Nz). Such a plane has the equation : {x,y,z} / Nx.x + Ny.y + Nz.z = dot(N,P). Each vertex on the side of the normal N will be discarded, so every vertex V : {Vx,Vy,Vz} / Nx.Vx + Ny.Vy + Nz.Vz > dot(N,P) will be discarded.

Cut planes are modified through the CutPlaneManagerInterface accessible through getCutPlaneManager.

A CutPlaneManipulatorInterface may be created and bound to a cut plane to display a GUI element that allows the end user to change the cut plane orientation / position through CutPlaneManagerInterface.createCutPlaneManipulator.

Object with a visual state VisualStates.S_IgnoreCutPlane will not be affected by cut planes.

/** 
 * Sample to illustrate the creation of a cut plane, manipulated with a CutPlaneManipulatorInterface.
 */
import { InfiniteEngineInterface, CutPlaneManagerInterface, Vector3, CutPlaneManipulatorInterface } from 'generated_files/documentation/appinfiniteapi';

// lEngine has been created previously
let lEngine : InfiniteEngineInterface;

// we want to hide items that are above (and not under), thus the normal is in the positive side.
const lNormal : Vector3 = new Vector3(0, 0, 1);
// any point with z = 10 is ok
const lPoint : Vector3 = new Vector3(Math.random(), Math.random(), 10);
// get the cut plane manager
const lCutPlaneManager : CutPlaneManagerInterface = lEngine.getCutPlaneManager();
const lCutPlaneId = lCutPlaneManager.createCutPlane(lPoint, lNormal);
console.assert(lCutPlaneId !== 0);
// do what you want, the cut plane is working as it is enabled upon creation
// and create a cut plane manipulator to allow the end user to change the cut plane geometry.
const lCutPlaneManipulator : CutPlaneManipulatorInterface = lCutPlaneManager.createCutPlaneManipulator();
// bind the manipulator to the newly created cut plane
lCutPlaneManipulator.setCutPlaneId(lCutPlaneId);
// hide it for the moment, we may need it later
lCutPlaneManipulator.setVisible(false);

Transformations.

You may change the matrix of a set of parts. If you want to compose some matrix on top of the existing one, just use InfiniteEngineInterface.addMatrix. You may also override the full matrix of a given piece with InfiniteEngineInterface.setMatrix.

/** 
 * Sample to illustrate how to change the matrix of a set of `geometric instances`.
 */
import { DataSessionInterface, InfiniteEngineInterface, Matrix4, Unit, Vector3 } from 'generated_files/documentation/appinfiniteapi';

// created previously
let lInfiniteEngine : InfiniteEngineInterface;
// created previously
let lDataSession : DataSessionInterface;

// the geometric instance ids to translate
let lCurrentGeometries : Uint32Array;

// the resulting transformation
const lTransformMatrix : Matrix4 = new Matrix4();
// we will translate 1 meter
const lOneMeter : number = 1 * lDataSession.convertUnitFactor(Unit.U_Meter, lDataSession.getDmuBuildUnit());

// we will want to translate the given pieces of 1 meter in the up direction
const lZVector : Vector3 = new Vector3();
lInfiniteEngine.getCameraManager().getFrameReference(undefined, lZVector);
lZVector.scale(lOneMeter);

// set this as the translation
lTransformMatrix.setTranslationPart(lZVector.x, lZVector.y, lZVector.z);
// and translate the given part with this value
lInfiniteEngine.addMatrix(lCurrentGeometries, lTransformMatrix);

Setting transforms.

You may also 'explode' geometries in one or multiple directions, objects are translated depending on the distance between the center of the explosion and the center of each object.

Annotations.

The rendering may be enriched to display 2D data representing measures, drawings (Functional Tolerancing and Annotations, Product Manufacturing Information, Measures, etc). These data are basically a 3D plane containing information in form of texts, curves, and symbols in this plane. Data of this type is referred to an Annotation. Annotations rendering are available through InfiniteEngineInterface.getAnnotationRenderer.

3D Primitives.

3D Points, 3D lines, 3D boxes and a single 2D rectangle can be rendered on top of the DMU, with a rendering hint depending on the relative depth between the 3D primitives and the geometries. 3D primitives are accessed through the getPrimitiveManager function (PrimitiveManagerInterface). The colors of the 3D primitive are handled by the PrimitiveManagerMaterialInterface, accessed through PrimitiveManagerInterface.getPrimitiveMaterialManager. Materials are accessed by their ids, and modified by their ids. 3D primitives are rendered colored with their material id, and not directly from a color.

3D Points.

The rendering can be enriched with 3D points rendered on top of the geometries, with a rendering hint telling if the point is over or under a geometry.

Using a Rectangle.

WebXR (experimental).

You may use the InfiniteEngineInterface api with WebXR sessions :

/** 
 * Sample to illustrate using a webxr session.
 */
import {
    InfiniteEngineInterface, InfiniteEngineInterfaceSignal, InfiniteEvent, InfiniteXRSession,
    CameraManagerInterfaceSignal, InfiniteXRReferenceSpace
} from 'generated_files/documentation/appinfiniteapi';

// We try to make a screenshot when all data is loaded

// created previously the 3D engine
let lInfiniteEngine: InfiniteEngineInterface;
// the webXR session
let lCurSession : InfiniteXRSession;

// store the XRSession when ready
lInfiniteEngine.addEventListener(
    InfiniteEngineInterfaceSignal.XRSessionReady,
    (pEvent: InfiniteEvent) : void =>
    {
        lCurSession = pEvent.attachments;
    }
);

// make some fancy things on camera changes
// we may have used InfiniteEngineInterfaceSignal.DisplayDone
// to be called each frame
lInfiniteEngine.getCameraManager().addEventListener(
    CameraManagerInterfaceSignal.CameraLocationChanged,
    (_pEvent: InfiniteEvent) : void =>
    {
        if (!lCurSession)
        {
            return;
        }
        const lXRRefSpace : InfiniteXRReferenceSpace | undefined = lInfiniteEngine.getCameraManager().getXRReferenceFrame();
        if (!lXRRefSpace)
        {
            return;
        }
        // make some computations with XRSession inputs
        console.log(lCurSession.inputSources.length);
    }
);

// bind the 3D rendering to the div (should have been done earlier :) )
lInfiniteEngine.setView(undefined, { type: 'webxr', options: {} });
