The Building Explorer component is used to filter and explore the various components of BuildingSceneLayers. BuildingSceneLayers are complex digital models of buildings and interiors and can contain thousands of components grouped in sublayers. Using this component, buildings can be filtered by level, construction phase or by disciplines and categories.

Known limitations

Building Explorer is only supported in a 3D Scene component.

autoDestroyDisabled

Property
autoDestroyDisabled: boolean

If true, the component will not be destroyed automatically when it is disconnected from the document. This is useful when you want to move the component to a different place on the page, or temporarily hide it. If this is set, make sure to call the destroy method when you are done to prevent memory leaks.

Attribute

false

headingLevel

Property
headingLevel: number

Indicates the heading level to use for the component title.

icon

Property
icon: string

Icon which represents the component. Typically used when the component is controlled by another component (e.g. by the Expand component).

layers

Property

A collection of layers of type BuildingSceneLayer that are added to the componen for exploration.

Attribute
position

referenceElement

Property

By assigning the id attribute of the Map or Scene component to this property, you can position a child component anywhere in the DOM while still maintaining a connection to the Map or Scene.

Attribute

state

readonlyreflected
Property
state: "disabled" | "failed" | "loading" | "ready"

The component's state. The values mean the following:

  • disabled - component is being created
  • loading - layers and statistics are loading
  • ready - component is ready
  • failed - component failed to load data
Attribute
state
Default value
"disabled"

view

Property
view: SceneView

The view associated with the component.

Note: The recommended approach is to fully migrate applications to use map and scene components and avoid using MapView and SceneView directly. However, if you are migrating a large application from widgets to components, you might prefer a more gradual transition. To support this use case, the SDK includes this view property which connects a component to a MapView or SceneView. Ultimately, once migration is complete, the Building Explorer component will be associated with a map or scene component rather than using the view property.
