Hello Alexander,

We finally have the answer from your request about CAD converters; I'm going to paste it here, but you can also check the ticket here: https://jira.fiware.org/browse/HELC-652.

Here's the answer, hope it helps:

Good morning,
sorry for the delay concerning the answer to your ticket. I had to gather some information about possible converter tool chains to convert CAD to XML3D, and here is the result:
Currently, there is no converter that allows to convert CAD data directly to XML3D. Most CAD tools, however, provide an exporter to COLLADA format. The task to then convert COLLADA to XML3D is performed by our Asset Server ATLAS, that is publicly available on GitHub:
https://github.com/dfki-asr/atlas-server
https://github.com/dfki-asr/atlas-worker
In fact, ATLAS is a bit more than just a converter. It's rather a storage that server that allows to upload model data in different formats, and request it afterwards in various output formats. In the GitHub version above, that will also be made available as "Asset Storage SE" in FI CONTENT, import of COLLADA files and export to XML3D is supported. Thus in the case of CAD data, this would mean that would first have to export the CAD data to COLLADA, using the exporters of the CAD tools, and then upload the resulting COLLADA file to ATLAS, which will then provide you with a link from which you can reference the XML3D version of the model from within your XML3D application.
In addition to the GitHub resources above, there will also be more guides in the FI CONTENT catalog in the near future. We plan to have them published in the next few weeks.

Best regards,
Marco

Good afternoon Alexander,

Yes indeed, I immediately forwarded your question to the GE owner (you can see the ticket here: https://jira.fiware.org/browse/HELC-652) but still no answer.
I will try to notify the chapter leader about this delay and see how to solve it.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Best regards,
Marco Terrinoni

Hello Marco,

Hope you are well.

Last Monday I sent the e-mail below.
Did you received it?
Are there any news from maintainers of 3D-UI-XML3D enabler?

Thank you!
