BIMROCKET

BIMROCKET is an open source platform for managing BIM projects. It has a web application to view and edit IFC models and a server to store BIM projects in an OrientDB database.

features

• Parametric design tool based on CSG.
• Supported primitives: solids, profiles (2d shapes) and cords (3d polylines).
• Profile/cord creation and editing.
• Extrusion and revolution of profiles to create solids.
• Union, intersection and subtraction of solids.
• Object transformation (translation, rotation, scale).
• Definition of formulas for object property values.
• Measuring tools (length, angle, area and volume).
• Orbit-Pan-Zoom tool.
• Fly tool (with collision detection and ground distance control).
• Multiple selection of objects.
• Editing of model structure and object properties.
• Dynamic sectioning of models.
• Shadow casting.
• Vertex, egde and face snapping in the drawing, measurement and transformation tools.
• Scripting tool (using javascript language).
• Reporting tool to check conditions on model objects.
• Object controllers (a Controller is a program that changes the state of an object when a certain event occurs).
• Direct loading of IFC files from local disk or the web server. Support for multiple IFC schemas (IFC2X3, IFC4, ...).
• IFC Inventory tool to explore the types, classifications, groups and layers of the model.
• IFC Layout tool to view the building layout easily.
• Search tool to find model properties by name or value.
• Histogram tool to visualize the distribution of values ​​for a given property.
• Load/Export models in BRF format (JSON BimRocket format).
• Load/Export models in STL, GLB, Wavefront OBJ and Collada formats.
• Integrated with external services (some of them provided by bimrocket-server)
  • File service (Webdav implementation)
  • BCF service (BIM Collaboration Service)
  • WFS service (Web Feature Service)
  • IFC service (stores IFC models in database. In progress)
  • Print service (generates a vectorial PDF file)
  • Brain4it (AI platform oriented to the IoT)
• Modular design to easily extend functionality.
• Web application with a responsive user interface. Support for touch devices.
• Based on THREE.js library.
• Built with Maven.

Installation

Both the bimrocket web application and the bimrocket server are currently distributed as Java war files. A Jakarta EE 10 web container (like Apache Tomcat 10.1) and JDK11+ is required to deploy these applications.

An OrientDB database is also required to work with the BCF and the IFC services (tested with OrientDB version 3.1.11).
