# Viewer Plugins

Viewer plugins (also referred to as viewer windows) are a special kind of plugin that provide a model viewer. They share some common configuration options and a common API to perform some generic operations and can also have some specific methods that depend on the type(s) of model they can handle.

Here is the list of native viewer plugins:

# Viewers common config

Every viewer plugin has the following config properties:

interface ModelViewerConfig {
  /**
   * Control the model loader visibility:
   *  - If `hidden`, the component isn't shown but it will load models defined in the viewer parameters.
   *  - If `disabled`, the models won't be loaded and you must load them manually (using the `viewer.loadModels` method).
   */
  modelLoader?: "hidden" | "disabled";
}

# Viewers common API

interface ModelViewerInstance extends PluginInstance {
  modelTypes?: string[];
  annotationMode: boolean;

  getViewpoint(options?: any): Promise<any>;
  setViewpoint(viewpoint: any, options?: any): Promise<void>;
  startAnnotationMode(callback: Function): void;
  stopAnnotationMode(): void;
  fitView(options?: any): void;
  showUI(options?: any): Promise<void>;
  hideUI(options?: { exceptions: string[] }): Promise<void>;
}

Note: these APIs are also available on the localContext.

# Viewer IFC 3D

  // Methods
  getProjection(): string;
  changeProjection(projection: string): void;
  isolateObjects(ids: number[], options?: any): void;          // Objects with ids not included in `ids` are set to `xrayed = true` & `pickable = false`.
  isolateObjectsByUuids(uuids: string[], options?: any): void; // The same as `isolateObjects` but with `uuids` instead of `ids`.
  reintegrateObjects(): void;                                  // Unisolate objects (opposite action of `isolateObjects`).
  setObjectsVisible(ids: number[], visible: boolean);          // Update the `visible` property of the corresponding objects.
  setObjectsPickable(ids: number[], pickable: boolean);        // Update the `pickable` property of the corresponding objects.
  setObjectsSelected(ids: number[], selected: boolean);        // Update the `selected` property of the corresponding objects.
  setObjectsHighlighted(ids: number[], highlighted: boolean);  // Update the `highlighted` property of the corresponding objects.
  setObjectsXrayed(ids: number[], xrayed: boolean);            // Update the `xrayed` property of the corresponding objects.
  setObjectsColorized(ids: number[], color: boolean);          // Update the `colorized` property of the corresponding objects.
  setObjectsOpacity(ids: number[], opacity: boolean);          // Update the `opacity` property of the corresponding objects.
  setObjectsCulled(ids: number[], culled: boolean);            // Update the `culled` property of the corresponding objects.
