3D viewer
Introduction
The 3D viewer module is the 3D standalone viewer provided by TraceParts.
Description
This module provides a 3D viewer of the 3D model of one given part number of a catalog. This module includes 3 ways of visualization based on 3 different technologies. The optimized one is chosen related to the version of the web browser.
Building a URL
The 3D viewer request takes the following form:

Data type |
Default value |
Description |
|
ActivateCamera |
boolean (true/false) |

DisplayGround |
boolean (true/false) |
false |
Displays the ground |
|
DisplayGroundGrid |
boolean (true/false) |
false |
Displays the grid on the ground |
|
DisplayHelpers |
boolean (true/false) |
false |
Displays the bounding box of the 3D model with the dimensions (International measurement system) on XYZ |
|
DisplayLogo |
boolean (true/false) |
false (DisplayMode=small) |
Displays the catalog logo in the bottom right corner |
|
DisplayMode |
boolean (small/full) |
small |
“small” is the basic mode of the 3D viewer. “full” is the advanced mode of the 3D viewer. Some options are only available in the “full” mode. |
|
DisplayMovementIcons |
boolean (true/false) |
true |
Displays the movement icons bar. *only for DisplayMode=small |
|
DisplayToolTip |
boolean (true/false) |
false |
Activates the tooltip to display the name of the 3D model file. |
|
DisplayTree |
boolean (true/false) |
false |
Displays the treeview showing all the 3D models of the scene. It is not displayed with only one 3D model in the scene. *only for DisplayMode=full |
|
DisplayViewIcons |
boolean (true/false) |
true |
Displays the predefined views icons bar. *only for DisplayMode=small |
|
H |
integer |
210 (DisplayMode=small) |
Height of the 3D viewer in pixels |
|
Mode |
text |
3DWebGL |
“3DWebGL” uses the HTML5 technology / “3D” uses the Java technology / “3DBitmap” displays seven views of the 3D model, as bitmap |
|
W |
integer |
340 (DisplayMode=small) |
Width of the 3D viewer, in pixels |
For “Mode=3D” and “Mode=3DBitmap”, only “H” and “W” parameters are available.

Example of 3D viewer call
The request below returns the 3D viewer of the part number “LAP ATLAS 10” from the LAP Laser catalog.
http://www.tracepartsonline.net/global/viewer.aspx?reference=LAP%20ATLAS%2010&Manid=LAP_LASER
By changing the H and W parameters, the 3D viewer has a bigger size.
