Three-Dxf

Three-Dxf is a javascript viewer for dxf files. It takes dxf objects produced from Dxf-Parser and renders them using three.js.

Install

bower install three-dxf

For now we recommend cloning the repo, and starting with our sample. See Run Samples below.

Usage

// See index.js in the sample for more details
var parser = new window.DxfParser();
var dxf = parser.parseSync(fileReader.result);
cadCanvas = new ThreeDxf.Viewer(dxf, document.getElementById('cad-view'), 400, 400);

Run Samples

> cd sample
> bower install
> npm install -g http-server
> http-server .
# use `http-server -c-1 .` to prevent caching

After performing the steps above, you can see the example at localhost:8080. You can use the dxf file included in the sample.

Note that the sample contains some three.js extras for Text support. If you wish to view text in DXF files, you will need those extras.
