CIRCL Vanhout

Digital Building

Short description

Inspire people what their future home could look like based on 3D visualisations and open data.

Project

Project template: https://cloud.openknowledge.be/s/apwL5wMKjeMqzdf

About the partner: http://circl.be (new venture of Vanhout)

Your partner will give you a nice introduction as well on the first partner meeting!

Context

https://circl.be/nieuw/tool/model.php
https://circl.be/nieuw/tool/model.php?project=1 for simplified 2D visualisation
https://circl.be/nieuw/tool/model.php?project=1&json for the JSON export which contains an array of one or multiple building variants. Each variant contains info that can be used for 3D visualisation:
- id: string
- name: string
- parcel: polygon = list of points (X,Y) for the plot where the building is located
- volumes: array of polygons with the building volume per level (0 = ground floor, 1 = 1st level...)
- elements: array of building elements, each of which with
  - type: string
  - width, depth, height: size of the element as a "box' = all in mm
  - posX, posY, posZ: position in absolute (X,Y,Z) coordinates of the element
  - theta: rotation of the element in (X,Y) plane in radians
  - points: each object is a prism, the points describe the absolute coordinates (X,Y,Z) of the planar polygon describing the prism (height = derived from the "height" value), each element is in 3D "extruded" along the Z-axis
  - properties: key-value pairs describing some extra properties (= type specific)
    for the "standard blocks" like staircase, toilet, bathroom, "svg" is one of the properties
  - stroke & fill: css-value for the colouring of the simplified 2D visualisation
There's also some extra features in this model (for testing purposes):
- https://circl.be/nieuw/tool/model.php?project=1&labels which shows the element types
- https://circl.be/nieuw/tool/model.php?project=1&nosliders which shows all variants for a building next/under eachother instead of sliders
- https://circl.be/nieuw/tool/model.php?project=1,2,3 which shows multiple projects
https://circl.be/nieuw/tool/project.php?project=1 is similar, but generates PDF drawings based on the same input
