Working with xeokit

Systems Engineering
#1

I’m using cmdbuild version 3.4.4 and I have activated the xeokit plugin in the administrator console.

When I try to load an IFC file in a BIM project, I have the following error:

org.cmdbuild.etl.EtlException: error converting ifc project to xkt, caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: target file not found (conversion failed); output=< Starting cmdbuild-xeokit:3.4.3 docker image
Unable to find image ‘cmdbuild-xeokit:3.4.3’ locally

I was able to download the sources and can see in the XktUtils that cmdbuild loads a ifc_to_xkt_converter.sh file.
image

Looking at that file, it tries to load the docker image dockerimagename="cmdbuild-xeokit:3.4.3". When trying to pull that image using docker pull, the image is not found.

Does anyone know how to get that docker image to make the xeokit work in cmdbuild/openmaint please?

Thanks!

To make the xeokit BIM integration work with cmdbuild/openmaint:

  1. Install docker
  2. Give permissions to your user to run docker commands
  3. Generate the docker image locally running the following command: cmdbuild.sh docker bim. Note that, in the source code, you can find the BimCommandRunner class used to generate the image.
  4. Depending on your version, you will have to tag the created image so that when cmdbuild pulls it, it finds it, e.g.: docker tag cmdbuild-xeokit:3.4.4 cmdbuild-xeokit:3.4.3
