Export Model Hierarcy

JieLi4 — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 15:01:18 GMT

I would like to export my model to some format that can easily differentiate each component, like this:

house{

windows{

window1

window2

...

}

doors{

door1

door2

...

}

...

}

any one know how to do this? Thanks

I'm also interested in this topic and how to improve the process of exporting building hierarchy. We store our 3D models in a CityGML database. This is the workflow I'm using, it's not optimal and there is quite a bit of work involved. But once it's set up it's quite fast.

Step 1:
Write the rule in a way so you can choose what is generated. Example create a attribute, say "Buildingparts" which controls the generation of all the building parts. "Building" generates the entire building, "WallSurface" generates walls... and so on.

Step 2:
Using python. Iterate through, and export each building part as a KMZ, as well as a csv text file containing all the attributes for each building.

Step 3:
Join the KMZ with the csv and export. We export as CityGML using Safe FME.
