“…Discrepancy between life spans of long-lasting products such are buildings and software tools used for their creation should not be reflected on digital product representations which are needed during the whole product life cycle. X3DOM technology can be used to represent geometry in web browsers and help with the plant layout design process [39]. They use a dynamic representation to store geometry information by recording the modelling history.…”

Building information modelling promises model-based collaboration between stakeholders in the project design stage. However, data exchange between physical and analytical building models used for architectural design and structural analysis respectively rarely takes place due to numerous differences in building element representation, especially the representation of geometry. This paper presents the realization of a novel data exchange framework between architectural design and structural analysis building models, based on open interpretations on central storage. The exchange is achieved with a new system architecture, where the program redDim was developed to perform the interpretations, including the most challenging transformations of geometry. We deliver a proof of concept for the novel framework with a prototype building model and verify it on two further building models. Results show that structural-analysis models can be correctly automatically created by reducing dimensionality and reconnecting building elements. The proposed data exchange provides a base for missing standardization of interpretations, which facilitates the non-proprietary automated conversion between physical and analytical models. This research fills the gap in the existing model-based communication that could lead to a seamless data exchange.

“…This mainly focuses on the interaction side of visualization and can be used for online collaboration as well as UI synchronization across devices or remote control. Interaction mode extensions to X3D/X3DOM concerning navigation and manipulation for web‐based CAD applications are also described by Mouton et al [MPJ*14]. However, as mentioned in the introduction, we will not further elaborate on interaction and collaborative systems as this is out of scope for this state‐of‐the‐art report.…”

In this report, we review the current state of the art of web-based visualization applications. Recently, an increasing number of web-based visualization applications have emerged. This is due to the fact that new technologies offered by modern browsers greatly increased the capabilities for visualizations on the web. We first review these technical aspects that are enabling this development. This includes not only improvements for local rendering like WebGL and HTML5, but also infrastructures like grid or cloud computing platforms. Another important factor is the transfer of data between the server and the client. Therefore, we also discuss advances in this field, for example methods to reduce bandwidth requirements like compression and other optimizations such as progressive rendering and streaming. After establishing these technical foundations, we review existing web-based visualization applications and prototypes from various application domains. Furthermore, we propose a classification of these web-based applications based on the technologies and algorithms they employ. Finally, we also discuss promising application areas that would benefit from web-based visualization and assess their feasibility based on the existing approaches.
