Reality Conversion API

The Reality Conversion API provides the ability to convert reality data — such as point clouds, meshes, orthophotos, and vector geometry into optimized, web-ready formats. Datasets produced by scanning devices and sensors are often stored in large, capture-centric files that are not ready to be directly consumed interactively in a web viewer. Such conversion makes reality data ready for web consumption and visualization.

Reality Conversion API is articulated around jobs. A Reality Conversion job takes reality data inputs to produce optimized outputs. Note that in order to use Reality Conversion, you need to already know about Reality Management API to upload and download data.

On job completion, Reality Conversion emits a realityConversion.jobCompleted.v2 iTwin event. Using the Webhooks API, you can create a webhook that will be triggered by this event. On completion of a job, the endpoint specified in the webhook will be called into.
