/ what the BIM SDK does

Real BIM, inside your product.

IFC 3D in the browser

Open IFC models without a plugin or desktop app. WebGL rendering, fast on real-world model sizes.

IFC tree navigation

Walk the model hierarchy — sites, buildings, storeys, spaces, components — exactly as the IFC schema defines it.

Isolate, hide, section

Focus on one floor, one system, one element. Section planes and visibility controls included.

Property inspection

Click any element to read its IFC properties and quantities. Events fire back to your application.

Same engine also reads DWG and DGN and PDF — your users open every drawing in one canvas.

/ try it yourself

AI-ready. Prompt it, or install it yourself.

@rasterex/viewer is a small, typed, zero-dependency SDK with full docs and runnable examples. Point your AI assistant at it, or install it by hand, and run a project against our backend in minutes. The backend runs as a hosted sandbox for evaluation and proof of concept, so there is nothing to set up on your side to get started.

01

Install

terminal · bash
$ npm install @rasterex/viewer
02

Mount a viewer and open a drawing

application code · typescript
01import { createViewer } from "@rasterex/viewer";02 03const viewer = createViewer({ container: "#rx-viewer" });04await viewer.mount();05await viewer.ready();06 07await viewer.documents.open({08  url: "<file URL reachable by the viewer>",09  displayName: "model.ifc",10  cacheId: "<stable file id from your app>",11  mime: "<file mime type>"12});

Works with Vite, Next.js, Angular, React, Vue or any bundler. Full setup and runnable examples live in the docs and the examples repo.

Building against it and hit a snag? Reach us on GitHub.

From proof of concept to production.

When you can see it working and want to move toward your own integration, get in touch. We go into dialogue, build a commercial model around your case, and you install the full backend yourself, on-prem or in your own cloud, with complete control of your data and infrastructure. Rasterex never touches your files or your servers.
