I just discovered the new BIM feature in the last release…
IMHO it has a lot of potential in different settings not related to BIM…
Currently I would love to explore the possibility to use this feature in client presentations to access certain information about a building. Ideally to make it easier for the client or anyone using the finished scene, we should be able to define which objects in the file are clickable or not clickable to avoid a confusion due to too many selectable objects in complex scenes.
E.G. we could attach Area related infos to defined surfaces like "Living room, EG, 30 qm " that would be really great!
Since I normally only use Rhino to create my models i think that there is currently no possibility to define a user based text that would show up when clicking an object right?
Since there is a possibility within Rhino to attach user defined text to an object I wonder if this could be used to tag info to an object.
Not at the moment @andreas , but this is something which has been requested before in a similar fashion, so I’m gladly adding your upvote to the existing feature request.
Would really add a new dimension of usage → interactive display of Information for certain parts of the model to enscape.
Especially for VR this is an important fact since right now you can “only” go around and look at things (which is of course already a very big thing…) but the implementation of getting additional object based information would open another field to sell this kind of presentation. I say It has the potential to be a game changer for VR.
imagine something like this in the enscape engine in VR ! It does not have to be this nice to begin with but just give us the possibility to have
optical recognizable clickable points / markers attached to objects or if this is easier a optical indicator based on material (we could then simply build the markers in Rhino and assign the specific material which would represent a certain text.
upon clicking on it , display a nice pop up dialogue window with the user defined test.
