GBXML Viewer

The GBXML Viewer is a browser-based, read-only tool designed to help engineers, architects, and energy modelers validate gbXML data without requiring native BIM software. It focuses on geometry integrity, space and zone definitions, and accompanying metadata to support quick QA during design reviews and data exchanges.\n\nConceptually, the tool ingests a gbXML file, parses the XML structure, and builds an internal representation of surfaces, spaces, envelopes, and services. It applies unit interpretation (metric or imperial), resolves coordinate values, and presents a simplified visualization that highlights finish types and topology. It does not edit the source model or perform simulations.\n\nCore value comes from fast feedback loops: discover missing or inconsistent geometry, verify counts of surfaces and zones, and inspect associated metadata such as schedules, zone names, and loads. Use cases include early design validation, commissioning readiness checks, and cross-party reviews where stakeholders need a shared, read-only view of the gbXML dataset.\n\nCompared with full BIM tools, this viewer reduces software overhead and accelerates data exchange. It supports exporting geometry and metadata summaries as JSON or CSV for integration into audits, reports, or spreadsheets, while remaining deliberately constrained to viewing and reporting.
