iTwins and other platforms
Why connect iTwins to other platforms?
Connecting iTwins to other platforms enhances interoperability, visualization, and flexibility by allowing integration of iTwin data with external systems and tools. With APIs like the Mesh Export API and Export API, teams can integrate iTwin data across platforms, enabling real-time, dynamic workflows that improve collaboration. This integration not only streamlines processes but also expands the capabilities of iTwins, making them adaptable to a wider range of project requirements.
Key scenarios
By integrating iTwin data with the Mesh Export API, users can create high-quality 3D visualizations on platforms like Unreal Engine, Unity, and Three.js. This opens the door to immersive, interactive environments that allow users to engage deeply with infrastructure designs, presenting complex projects in a more intuitive way.
Connecting iTwin data with Cesium.js enables advanced 3D visualization with real-time geospatial rendering. While iTwin.js offers a powerful library for developing applications that leverage iTwin data, Cesium.js excels in large-scale web visualizations, providing stakeholders with high-performance rendering and rich geospatial context.
The Export API facilitates smooth integration with external systems by converting iModel data into standard formats like IFC. This ensures compatibility with various tools and platforms, while also supporting long-term data archiving, compliance, and easy access across systems.
Summary
Connecting iTwin data to other platforms unlocks opportunities for immersive visualizations, geospatial insights, and seamless integration with other tools. The ability to convert iModel data into standard formats ensures easy collaboration, while providing flexibility to meet the unique needs of any project. This integration extends the value of iTwins and fosters interaction across a broader ecosystem.
