sublayer [building profile]

Sublayer of a building scene layer. A building scene layer is composed of an overview and the full model containing the discipline and category layers. These layer types are represented as sublayers. A sublayer may contain other layers or sublayers (i.e. group) to form a nested structure. The order of the layers is inverted, meaning the first layer is on the bottom and the last layer is on the top.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
id	integer	Identifier for this sublayer. If layerType != 'group', resources will be at /layers/{bim_layer_id}/sublayers/{this.id}/...
name	string	Layer name. Must be unique per building scene layer.
alias	string	Alias of the layer name. Can be empty if alias and name are identical.
discipline	string	Semantics for work discipline groups which can be used to refine the user experience. Possible values are: Mechanical Architectural Piping Electrical Structural
modelName	string	A fixed string of sublayer information. Used by client applications to define specific behavior for the modelName. See list of defined modelNames for sublayers.
layerType	string	Possible values are: group 3DObject Point
visibility	boolean	Visibility of the sublayer. Default is true.
sublayers	sublayer[]	Sublayers contained in this layer.
isEmpty	boolean	Returns true if the layer has no features.
