Tools for converting 3D geometries (like buildings) from PostGIS to I3S Scene Layer Package file.

See multipatch2slpk.md for initial experiment creating slpk file from multipatch features using ArcGIS Pro.

At the moment, this project really does nothing. Developers are welcome to contribute and get this project started.

Spec: https://github.com/Esri/i3s-spec/blob/master/format/Indexed%203d%20Scene%20Layer%20Format%20Specification.md#_6_7

OGC Indexed 3d Scene Layer (I3S) and Scene Layer Package Format Specification: http://docs.opengeospatial.org/cs/17-014r5/17-014r5.html

Start a POSTGIS database

$ docker run --name some-postgis -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 mdillon/postgis

Create table according to the SQL in sample_Data/buildings.sql:

$ psql -h localhost -U postgres -f buildings.sql

The testtable contains 100 polyhedredalsurface geometries in Amsterdam consisting of triangles:

$  psql -U postgres

Password for user postgres:
psql (11.5 (Ubuntu 11.5-3.pgdg16.04+1), server 11.2 (Debian 11.2-1.pgdg90+1))
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# select count(*) from public.buildings_3857;
 count
-------
   100
(1 row)

postgres=#

Now change the connection string in Program.cs and get the project running.

Docker image or other releases not there yet.

First milestone is to read 3D building geometries from database and produce a slpk file thats usable in one of the existing (Javascript) clients for visualization.

• i3s-tile-cs: For reading/writing binary i3s files https://github.com/bertt/i3s-tile-cs

• Dapper: For micro-ORM https://github.com/StackExchange/Dapper

• Npgsql: For PostgreSQL database access https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql

• Wkx: For handling geometries https://github.com/cschwarz/wkx-sharp

• CommandLineParser: For handling command line options: https://github.com/commandlineparser/commandline

• Folder Boston

• Folder Germany

Input multipatch shapefile with sample buildings. Process to create see https://github.com/Geodan/pg2b3dm/blob/master/dataprocessing/dataprocessing_citygml.md

Output slpk is generated from the FME esrishape2i3s.fmw workbench using the i3s transformer.
