@vcmap/export

General

The export plugin allows to export different source data from within the VC Map. This includes data from the city model, oblique images and other spatial data that is visualized in the map as geojson areas.

General configurations are:

key	type	default	description
dataSourceOptionsList	Array<ObliqueDataSourceOptions | GeoJSONDataSourceOptions | {type: 'cityModel'}>	[{ type: 'cityModel' }]	The data sources that the export widget should support.
requestTermsConsent	Url	null	A link to the terms of use. If a link is provided the acceptance of the terms is requested before a download is possible.
maxSelectionArea	number	2000000	The maximum area of the area selection mode.

ObliqueDataSourceOptions

key	type	required	description
type	'oblique'	✓	type of export data source. For ObliqueDataSourceOptions it is always 'oblique'.
baseUrl	string		The base url for the images if dedicatedSource is true.
obliqueCollectionName	string	✓	The name of the oblique collection.
fileExtension	string		The file extension for the images. Allowed values are 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'tif', 'tiff'. Default is 'jpg'.
dedicatedSource	boolean		If the oblique images can be downloaded directly. Otherwise they are put together from the tiles in the map.
resolution	number		The zoom level of the images.

GeoJSONDataSourceOptions

key	type	required	description
type	'geojson'	✓	type of export data source. For GeoJSONDataSourceOptions it is always 'geojson'.
baseUrl	string | null		The base url for the urls in the GeoJSON file.
geojsonUrl	string	✓	The url of the geojson data set, which contains a property url, linking to the datasets to download.
title	string		The title that is shown in the ui for this data source. If no title is provided, the title will be "GeoJSON".

City Model

This data source type allows to download city model objects, the terrain and the whole scene in many different data formats. Selected are either single objects or surfaces, as polygon or as BBOX. For object selection you need at least one layer in a module configuration with an exportWorkbench property configured, where the property value corresponds to the fmeServerUrl of the table below:

{
  "layers": [
    {
      "type": "CesiumTilesetLayer",
      "name": "Berlin untexturiert openData (pbr recalculation)",
      "url": "https://www.virtualcitymap.de/datasource-data/f892f6af-180a-4eef-917f-5ff03c260b32/tileset.json",
      "properties": {
        "title": "Berlin - LOD2",
        "exportWorkbench": "https://fmeserver-virtualcitysystems--2.fmecloud.com/fmedatadownload/germany_viewer/MultiExporter.fmw"
      }
    }
  ]
}

The exportWorkbench property is checked, whenever a feature is clicked upon object selection or right click interactions (context menu). Only features of 3D layers with that property assigned are supported for export!

The export of this source has the following configurations:

key	type	default	description
exportFormatList	Array	['2D Shape', '3D Shape - PolygonZ', '3D Shape - Multipatch', 'ESRI FGDB', 'KMZ', 'CityGML', 'CityJSON', 'DXF', 'DWG', '3DS', 'SketchUp', 'OBJ', 'VRML', 'COLLADA', 'GLTF', '3DPDF', 'FMEAR', 'STL', 'STEP', 'GEOPACKAGE', 'FBX']	The export formats the user can select from. The supported formats are listed here.
exportFormatDefault	Array	['2D Shape']	The export formats that are initially selected. They need to be listed inside exportFormatList.
lodList	Array	['LoD1', 'LoD2', 'LoD3', 'haLoD']	The available level of details the user can select from.
lodDefault	string	'haLoD'	The initially selected level of detail.
thematicClassOptions	Array	['26', '7', '14', '5', '21', '85', '64', '45', '43', '46', '8', '9', '4', '44']	The ids of the thematic classes the user can select from. A list of the possible ids with the corresponding class names can be found here.
thematicClassDefault	Array	['26']	The initially selected thematic classes.
appearanceThemeList	Array	['rgbTexture']	The available appearance themes for the city model.
appearanceThemeDefault	string	'rgbTexture'	The initially selected appearance theme. Needs to be listed in appearanceThemeList.
heightModeDefault	'absolute' | 'ellipsoid'	'absolute'	If the z values of the exported data are absolute values or relative to the ellipsoid.
allowHeightMode	boolean	true	If the user can select the height mode.
allowAddGenericAttrs	boolean	true	If true, the user can choose whether generic attributes should be added to the exported dataset or not.
allowTiledExport	boolean	true	If true, the user can choose whether the data should be exported as tiles or not.
allowTerrainExport	boolean	true	If true, the user can select whether ther terrain should also be exported. Only available for some data formats.
terrainAppearanceOptions	Object<string, number>	{}	With this setting the terrain texture for different zoom levels can be set. The key of the object is the name of the imagery layer, the value the zoom level.
terrainUrl	string	null	URL used if terrainExport is true, if not provided the currently active terrain will be used.
terrainZoomLevel	number	-1	Zoom level of terrain used if terrainExport is true. To have an effect, the number needs to be > 0.
crs	string	null	The output crs as epsg code. If array is provided user can select. Example: ["EPSG:25832", "EPSG:3587"]. If not provided, the default projection of the VC Map is used.
allowDescription	boolean	true	If user can add an export description. This helps the user to identify a specific request, if many requests were send. The description is added to a summary text file of the download.
allowEmail	boolean	true	If user can enter an export email. This is necessary if the results should be sent to users via Email. If the results should be pushed to a specific predevined server this can be unnecessary.
allowExportName	boolean	false	If user can add an export name. This helps the user to identify a specific request, if many requests were send. It is also a necessary parameter for some predefined server uploads.
dataProjection	ProjectionOptions	null	The projection of the data in the data base. If not provided, the default projection of the VC Map is used, which is in most cases the correct one (take care when loading multiple modules). In the rare case the dataProjection still needs to be changed, make sure to pass both, epsg code AND proj4 string in the following format: {"epsg": "EPSG:25832", "proj4": "+proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs +type=crs"}
exportScene	boolean	true	If the entire scene should be exported when using area selection.
fmeServerUrl	string	null	The FME server URL. Is required.
fmeSecurityToken	string	null	The FME security token for the given server. Is required.

ProjectionOptions

key	type	description
epsg	string | number	EPSG of the projection, for example: "EPSG:3587". If not specified, uses the framework projection.
proj4	string	definition of the projection. See for example: http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/3587/proj4/

Oblique

With this data source type high resolution oblique images can be downloaded. It is possible to either download the currently visible image when being in oblique view or oblique tiles that are in a specific area using the area selection mode.

Note: The Firefox browser (<= v108.0.1) has a canvas size limit of 124,992,400 pixels. If this number is exceeded by the oblique image, the download will fail.

GeoJSON

This data source type makes it possible to provide any possible data to the user through the export plugin. For this, a GeoJSON file is needed, where each feature has a "url" property, which provides a link to the data source. The features mark the extend of the data source in the map and are fetched by the area selection mode.
