Does bimsurfer support such a big model of 471M size #231

liufenghiee commented 6 years ago

I uploaded a IFC model of 224M size, and I can open this model on my computer to roam. But I can't open this model on my iphonex and iPad to roam. Does bimsurfer support such a big model? I also uploaded a IFC model of 471M size. This model can't be open on my computer. Browsers crash directly.

Does bimsurfer support such a big model?

In theory yes, but as you said you're likely going to run into issues with your hardware at some point. There is currently no advanced means of reducing LOD automatically, but selecting the entity types you want to render might be a easy workaround (say, showing only IfcSlab and IfcWall).

All of this depends a lot on the exact contents of the IFC model. Just size in MB does not say that much, a smaller model can also be geometrically complex.
