# Mobile

A plugin with specific mobile interactions is natively available in the BIMDataViewer. To use it, give the "mobile" window name as second argument of the mount method when mounting the BIMDataViewer into the DOM.

bimdataViewer.mount("#app", "mobile");
Viewer Mobile

The plugin is composed of three main elements from top to bottom:

  • storey selector
  • viewer 2D as a mini map
  • viewer 3D

It has the following instance API:

property Description
map2dShown: boolean If false, the viewer 2D or mini map is not shown.
viewer2d: Object The Vue.js (opens new window) component holding the BIMData 2D-Engine (opens new window) on the engine2d property.
viewer3d: Object The Vue.js (opens new window) component holding the 3D viewer from the xeokit-sdk (opens new window) on the xeokit property.
const mobilePlugin = $viewer.globalContext.plugins.get("mobile")[0];

const engine2d = mobilePlugin.viewer2d.engine2d;
const xeokit = mobilePlugin.viewer3d.xeokit;

# Loading model

The model loaded into the mobile plugin is the one loaded on the localContext.

this.$viewer.localContext.loadModels([myModelId]);

Or at startup using the config object of the makeBIMDataViewer function.

const bimdataViewer = makeBIMDataViewer({
  api: {
    modelIds: [15097], // < ---
    cloudId: 10344,
    projectId: 237466,
    accessToken: "TAbdyPzoQeYgVSMe4GUKoCEfYctVhcwJ",
  },
});

# Mobile browsers

If you plan to embed the viewer into a web page that will be accessed on mobile make sure to add the following <meta /> tag in the <head> of your html document:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0" />

This ensure that the viewer is displayed properly on both desktop and mobile devices (learn more (opens new window)).
