Is it possible to render graphics of the Web-IFC-Viewer on server side?

Hi there,

Is it possible to render graphics of the Web-IFC-Viewer on server side? So I mean, e.g. first render the 3D-graphics on the server side (where from the npm run start was carried out) and then "pass" the results as a e.g. raster/or so on to the client?

What I would like to achieve? We have a lot of ancient laptops where the rotating and viewing our ifc-models are extremely slow.

Is there probably a some "switch" in nodeJS/npm/etc to force rendering Web-IFC-Viewer on the server before (first)?

Thanks

Hi @yelabuga

We have officially released the new library components on September 20 2023. This library substitutes web-ifc-three and web-ifc-viewer. Both WIV and WIT will remain up, but they will be deprecated and won't be maintained any longer. You can find the new docs here.

All our efforts are going towards components now. The API is very similar, so I strongly suggest you make the leap and start using it. If you still face this issue with it, you can open an issue there and we'll take a look.
