Give host pages a real API over the web viewer, not just "embed it and listen
for picks": read/set the camera, read/set multi-selection, enumerate every
object with its IFC identity, drive per-object visibility, and override
object colours.
The wasm boundary keeps to object_ids (u32 arrays marshalled through the heap,
with an "ask twice" convention on the getters); web/ifcviewer.js layers IFC
GlobalId resolution on top, from the element table getObjects() fetches. Every
id-taking call accepts an objectId, a GlobalId, or an element object.
Colour override needed no new mechanism: color_override_rgba8 was already
plumbed through the sidecar, the instance SSBO, the WGSL shader and the
opaque/transparent cull classifier, but nothing ever wrote a non-zero value
into it. setObjectsColor is the missing writer, which is why an alpha below 255
correctly reclassifies the instance into the transparent pass.
Two bugs surfaced while wiring this up:
- wgpu_initialized_ was only ever set by the Qt desktop host, so on web every
upload guarded on it was a silent no-op — including the pre-existing
recomposeAndUploadModel that federation transforms depend on. The core now
latches it in its own web init.
- The demo pages were copied into the build dir by a POST_BUILD command on the
wasm target, so they only refreshed when the wasm itself relinked; editing a
page left a stale copy that the dev server (and the Playwright suite) kept
serving. Each page now has its own copy rule with a real dependency, and
sample.ifcview is a LINK_DEPENDS so regenerating it forces a relink.
applyCachedModel also now keeps the element metadata it already parses on the
path-based load (it was being dropped), so the embedded sample has GUIDs and
the demo works with no file to pick.
The sample model was three coincident cubes, which made per-object hide and
colour look like no-ops — whatever you hid was still drawn by the box behind
it. make_sample.py regenerates it as a slab, a wall and a beam in distinct
places, so the fixture is reproducible rather than an opaque blob.
Demoed by web/scripting.html (linked from the index; viewer is on
window.viewer) and covered by tests/scripting.spec.mjs — 6 cases against a real
GPU, asserting visibility and colour at the pixels, not just at the API.

Restructure the web viewer so the wasm is a reusable module and add a
second example that drives it from ordinary page DOM.
Build:
- Emit IfcViewerWeb.js (a `createIfcViewer` factory, MODULARIZE) + .wasm
instead of a single baked page (dropped --shell-file); copy the static
example pages next to it at build time.
- Unbreak the web build: CameraMath.h / ViewportCore.cpp used
boost::math::constants::pi just for pi, pulling all of boost/math into a
header shared with the Emscripten build (no Boost in its sysroot). Replace
with a constexpr kPiF — identical value, no dependency, desktop unaffected.
JS integration (web/ifcviewer.js):
- A small helper wraps the factory: boots the viewer on a canvas, runs the
RAF loop from onRuntimeInitialized (NOT a post-await .then, which stalls
Dawn-web's device callback and leaves the device half-initialised), and
exposes addFile/addUrl, clearScene, model list/progress, and onSelect(...).
- ViewportCore/main_web emit each pick to JS via Module.__ifcvOnSelect
(object id + IFC GlobalId + model index; empty on deselect); onSelect also
dispatches an 'ifcviewer:select' DOM event.
- Fix input coords for a non-fullscreen canvas: mousemove/mouseup are
window-targeted, so convert their coords to canvas-relative via the canvas
client-rect origin (marquee + box-pick were offset when embedded).
Examples:
- IfcViewerWeb.html: the fullscreen viewer (same DOM/behaviour as before,
now loading the module) — the Playwright smoke suite still targets it.
- embedded.html: a sized viewer with DOM outside it to add models (file or
URL), list loaded models with streaming progress, and show the model +
GlobalId of the clicked object. Starts empty (drops the wasm's embedded
sample, which the fullscreen page/tests still use).
- index.html links both.
Federation note: the web viewer already streams multiple models into one
scene (a byte-source per file/URL); it doesn't need the desktop Federation
document for this. Verified: 11/11 web smoke tests pass; embedded example
loads models, reports the picked model + GUID, and the marquee aligns.

Full section tool for the web viewport, with the gizmo + interaction shared with
desktop from one codebase.
- True-face surface pick. pickSurfaceAt had always ray-cast the instance AABB (to
skip a depth readback), so cuts sat in front of the real surface. The pick
fragment already computes the exact world_pos (it clips sections with it); now
it OUTPUTS it to a 3rd pick MRT (RGBA32F) that every pick path renders, and
pickSurfaceAt / pickSurfaceAtAsync read it back (decodeMappedPickPosition;
ray-AABB kept only as a fallback). The web async pick chains id -> normal ->
position spontaneous staging maps.
- Web tool: LMB drops a cut at the picked surface (LMB drag still orbits), K
toggles, Shift+K clears; oriented to the real MRT surface normal. Exports + a
Section / Clear cuts toolbar pair.
- Shared gizmo: lifted the section-gizmo renderer (SECTION_WGSL + thick-line AA +
quad+arrow VBO + pack + screen-space hit-test) out of the Qt-coupled
OverlayRenderer into a Qt-free SectionGizmoRenderer that ViewportCore::render
draws for BOTH desktop and web (both already render via render()). One identical
gizmo; OverlayRenderer's now-dead section code removed. Fixed 1 m size (matches
the desktop constant).
- Interaction (shared): hitTestSectionGizmo (SectionGizmoRenderer::hitTest) +
beginSectionDrag / updateSectionDrag / endSectionDrag live in ViewportCore.
Drag a gizmo arrow to slide the plane along its normal; Del/Backspace removes
the most recent cut. Desktop's ViewportWindow dropped its duplicate hit-test /
drag math + state and delegates to the core; web wires the same calls.
Tests: sectionPlaneCount add/clear/cap (Catch2, 125); web smoke "click a surface
cuts geometry, clear restores" exercises the shared gizmo + 3-MRT pick (11/11).
Desktop object-pick / marquee unaffected; BonsaiViewer builds.

Bring rubber-band box-select to the web on the Web preset's select button (RMB).
- Core: factor the pick-pass encode + rect copy out of picksInRect into
encodeBoxPickToStaging (mirroring how single-pick shares
encodePickReadbackToStaging), shared by the sync picksInRect (desktop) and a
new async picksInRectAsync (web) — the latter maps the staging buffer via a
spontaneous callback because the sync spin-map hangs the JS loop. New
applyMarqueeToSelection (plain replace / Shift add / Ctrl remove).
- Web main_web: a select-button drag past the click threshold draws a marquee
rubber-band (a plain DOM <div> positioned in CSS px — no GPU overlay pass,
which the web lib lacks) and on release box-picks the rect (device px) and
applies it to the selection. A click (no drag) still single-picks.
- Web shell.html: the #marquee div + styling, and — the reported bug — a
contextmenu preventDefault on the canvas so RMB (now the select button) doesn't
pop the browser menu. (Firefox still forces its native menu on Shift+RightClick;
that's a browser escape hatch pages can't override.)
Tests: applyMarqueeToSelection replace/add/remove + id-0 (Catch2, 124 total);
web smoke marquee drag → rubber-band shown → selection changes → hidden (10/10).
Desktop picksInRect unchanged in behaviour; BonsaiViewer builds.

Make orbit/pan/select mouse bindings pure data owned by ViewportCore so both
hosts and every preset share one source of truth, and add a "Web" preset. This
rounds out the matrix: the desktop gains a web-style scheme and the web inherits
all presets, with no per-platform hardcoding.
- Core: NavBindings { orbit, pan, select button + modifier } + setNavPreset
("blender" default | "rhino" | "revit" | "web") + navBindings(). Select is
preset-driven too (was hardcoded LMB) so "web" moves it to RMB. web = orbit
LMB, pan MMB, select RMB (LMB drag orbits with no click/drag ambiguity; RMB
click-selects / drag-marquees). NavMod uses "Plain" not "None" (X11 #defines
None to 0L).
- Desktop ViewportWindow: applyNavPreset sources the core table (mapped to Qt);
marquee-arm / single-pick dispatch keys off select_button_. Default stays
blender → no behaviour change.
- Desktop config: AppSettings::NavPreset gains Web + navPresetName(); the
Settings dialog lists it. This also FIXES a pre-existing gap — the preset combo
was persisted but never applied (only WGPU_NAV_PRESET env worked). MainWindow
now applies the persisted preset at startup (env override still wins) and live
on navPresetChanged, so all four presets actually work from the dialog.
- Web main_web: classifyPress routes the pressed button through navBindings()
(orbit/pan/select), defaulting to the "web" preset; context menu already
suppressed so RMB is free.
Tests: setNavPreset table (Catch2, 123 total); web smoke select tests use RMB.
BonsaiViewer builds; 9/9 web smoke.

Lift the visibility + X-ray ops into ViewportCore so desktop and web share them.
The cull already reads visibility_ (hidden objects skipped) and the frame uniform
reads xray_alpha_cap_, both per frame, so each op just mutates state + schedules
a frame — no GPU buffers to rebuild, no rendering work:
- hideSelected (hide the selection, then deselect), isolateSelected (hide every
non-selected object in a visible model), showAll (clear the hidden set),
toggleXray (flip the alpha cap 1.0<->0.3; cull routes all to the transparent
pass), xrayActive().
- Desktop ViewportWindow: the H / Shift+H / Alt+H / Alt+X keys and the menu-action
wrappers now call the core; the four inline/duplicated implementations are gone.
- Web main_web: same keys (H hide · Shift+H isolate · Alt+H show all · Alt+X
x-ray) + toolbar buttons (Hide / Isolate / Show all / X-ray, the last reflecting
active state).
Verified on web: x-ray toggles and visibly translucent-izes the scene, hide after
a pick removes geometry, 0 GPU errors. 113/113 desktop + 6/6 web smoke; desktop
app builds.

DRY the fly camera into ViewportCore so desktop and web share identical math:
- flyMove(fwd,back,right,left,up,down,boost,dt): WASD in the view plane, QE
along world +Z, forward = eye→target (no snap after orbiting), Shift = 5x,
dt clamped to 0.1s. flyLook(dx,dy): turn in place (yaw/pitch, eye pinned,
0.2 deg/px, pitch ±89.9). flyAdjustSpeed(notches): wheel scales speed x1.25.
fly_move_speed_ + orbitEye now live in the core (orbitEye's duplicate removed
from ViewportWindow).
- Desktop ViewportWindow: fpsIntegrate / mouse-look / wheel-speed call the core
methods; behaviour unchanged, BonsaiViewer builds clean.
- Web main_web: Shift+F (or the Fly toolbar button) enters and pointer-locks the
canvas; W/A/S/D/Q/E + Shift are held-tracked (keydown/keyup) and integrated
each RAF frame with wall-clock dt; pointer-lock mouse deltas drive flyLook;
wheel tunes speed. Exit on Esc OR a canvas click (matches desktop) — a
pointerlockchange handler catches the browser eating the first Esc to release
the lock (so a single Esc exits), guarded by fly_locked so a denied lock on
entry doesn't insta-exit. Fly button reflects/ syncs active state.
Verified: web enter→WASD moves→click/Esc exits, 0 GPU errors; 113/113 desktop
core + 6/6 web smoke; desktop app builds.

Streaming picked candidates on raw frustum visibility, so viewAll over a big
federation (all models in-frustum) fetched every chunk — even fine chunks that
project to sub-pixel and the renderer never draws. Gate streaming on the SAME
contribution decision the render path already makes.
- New per-chunk contribution_visible_count: instances that passed frustum AND
the contribution cull (projected radius >= min_radius_px), counted BEFORE HiZ
— so it's stable while the camera is still (unlike the HiZ-post counters,
which flip frame-to-frame and would thrash the loader) and shifts only on
navigation, when the working set should. The candidate gate skips chunks with
count 0: the network pulls only what's resolvable now; the rest stream in as
you approach. Verified: fit view needs the geometry, zoomed-out needs 0.
- Loading UI reworked from per-model segments to a combined bar over the whole
federation: dark track = not needed for this view, dim = needed-but-unloaded,
bright = loaded. "loaded / needed" = how done THIS view is; "needed / total" =
how much of the model the view requires — "Loading 45 / 90 MB for this view ·
12% of 718 MB total". Driven by ViewportCore::streamingByteProgress + ifcv_bytes_*.
Two fixes from testing: (1) show a distinct overhead phase while total==0
("Loading model data — X MB · Y/N models ready") so the metadata download
isn't a dead-looking bar; (2) re-assert display:block every active frame so the
bar REAPPEARS when navigation reveals new chunks (was only set in
beginLoadProgress → stayed hidden after the first catch-up). Per-model exports
kept for a future detailed view.
111/111 unit + 6/6 web smoke pass.

The camera math already lived in the shared ViewportCore; the desktop just
bound keys to it. The web build had no keyboard handler and no camera UI, so
none of it was reachable. Wire it up (Tier 1 + 2 of nav parity; fly mode is a
separate follow-up).
Shared core:
- setStandardView(StandardView) — named Front/Back/Left/Right/Top/Bottom wrapper
over setStandardView(yaw,pitch), so the axis→angle mapping lives in one place.
- frameSelection() — lifts the desktop's "union selected AABBs → frameAabb(1.30)"
focus logic out of ViewportWindow into the core. Desktop's focusOnSelectedObject
and the X/Y/Z hotkeys now call these (DRY, behaviour unchanged).
Web:
- main_web gains a keydown handler matching the desktop bindings — Home=view all,
F=zoom to selected, P=ortho toggle, X/Y/Z (+Shift=negative)=standard views —
plus exported entry points (view_all_c / frame_selection_c / toggle_projection_c
/ projection_is_ortho_c / standard_view_c) for the toolbar.
- shell.html adds a bottom nav toolbar (Fit / Focus / Persp-Ortho / the six views)
with the hotkeys in tooltips; the ortho button reflects state.
Verified: Z key and Front button both move the camera, ortho toggles render +
label, zero GPU errors; 111/111 unit + 6/6 web smoke pass.

Query string: auto-load a whole federation, not one model. Accepts repeated
params (?model=a&model=b&…) and/or a comma list (?models=a,b,c); each becomes
its own streamed byte-source, clearing the embedded sample once then streaming
concurrently into one scene. A failed URL is reported without aborting the rest.
Loading UI: the bare aggregate chunk count didn't reveal the federation state,
so surface per-model progress. ViewportCore::streamingModelCount() +
streamingModelProgress(idx,…) (ordered by model_id = load order) feed
main_web's ifcv_model_count_c / ifcv_model_{resident,total}_c. shell.html draws
a panel: "Loading N models — X done · Y streaming · Z waiting · N MB" plus one
segment per model (blue fill while streaming, green when resident, grey while
its metadata is still pending) — so parallel loading and how many remain are
visible at a glance.
Verified: 10 models from a 10x ?model= query stream in parallel; the panel
steps 10 waiting → streaming → all done. 111/111 unit + 6/6 web smoke pass.

The scene core is already multi-model — models_gpu_ is a map, applyCachedModel
APPENDS, and per-model model_id / object_id rebasing / georef+transformation
are how the desktop federates today. The only web-specific gap was the byte
source: web had ONE global source (__ifcvFile/__ifcvUrl) and reset the scene on
every load, so it could show one file at a time. Desktop meanwhile carries a
per-model source (streaming_file_path).
Mirror that on web: give each model its own web_source_id into a JS source
registry (Module.__ifcvSources[id] = a picked File or a sized remote URL).
beginWebChunkLoad, the metadata bootstrap, and the on-demand deferred fetch all
read from the owning model's source, so several files stream concurrently into
one federated scene — reusing all the shared machinery (viewAll, picking, the
GUID fetch) untouched.
- webReadRangesAsync / ifcvReadRangeInto / ifcvSourceSize take a source id.
- loadSidecarMetadataWeb(source_id, …) appends (no resetScene); main_web
exposes load_sidecar_from_source_c(id) + clear_scene_c().
- URL size resolution moved to JS (shell.html registers + sizes sources via
HEAD/Range), retiring the C-side ifcvBeginUrlSource / ifcv_source_ready dance.
- shell.html: source registry + "Open" (replace) / "Add" (append) buttons,
multi-file selection; ?model= registers a URL source then loads.
Verified: two sidecars from two sources stream into one scene, both fully
resident, zero GPU errors. 111/111 unit + 6/6 web smoke pass.

First real consumer of the v15 deferred property block, and an end-to-end
demonstration that on-demand property loading works. On a left-click pick,
logSelectedObjectGuidWeb ensures the owning model's deferred block is loaded
(loadDeferredMetadataWeb — a network fetch the FIRST time, cached after) and
logs the picked object's GUID to the console.
Fix uncovered while wiring it: applyCachedModel rebases instance object_ids to
a per-model global base (object_id_base) to keep them unique across models,
but the deferred elements carry the sidecar's original local ids — so a lookup
by the picked (global) id missed. Store object_id_base on the model and rebase
the elements by it when the deferred block loads.
Verified: with a streamed model, the deferred block is fetched ONLY after the
first pick (not at load), and the pick logs a valid 22-char IFC GUID. 111/111
unit + 6/6 web smoke pass.

Users had no feedback during the seconds before/while a model streams. Add a
top progress strip + caption driven by the streaming state:
- "Loading model… N MB" while the critical metadata downloads (no chunks yet),
- "Loading geometry — R / T chunks · N MB" as chunks go resident,
- "Loaded — T chunks · N MB", then it hides.
ViewportCore::streamingProgress(resident, total) sums chunk residency across
models; main_web exports ifcv_chunks_resident_c / ifcv_chunks_total_c for
shell.html to poll each RAF. The EM_JS range reader accumulates
Module.__ifcvBytesLoaded so the caption can show MB downloaded. Shown only for
streamed loads (?model= URL / picked file), not the embedded sample.
6/6 web smoke pass.

Adds a network byte-source alongside the local Blob one. The async-chunk
infra is source-agnostic — only the two JS primitives knew it was a Blob —
so this generalises them and reuses everything else:
- ifcvReadRangeInto: local → Blob.slice; remote → fetch() with a Range
header (206). If a server ignores Range and returns 200, the requested
window is sliced out so it still works (without the bandwidth saving).
- ifcvFileSize: Blob size, or the URL's total length resolved up front.
- ifcvBeginUrlSource: resolves total size (HEAD Content-Length, else a
0-0 ranged GET's Content-Range) then fires _ifcv_source_ready.
- The metadata bootstrap is extracted into a source-agnostic
loadSidecarMetadataWeb(label); loadSidecarFromBlobWeb / FromUrlWeb are
thin entries. streaming_from_blob → streaming_from_web (now covers both).
main_web exports load_sidecar_from_url_c(url); shell.html reads a
?model=URL query param and ccalls it once the app is live (same-origin
needs no CORS; cross-origin hosts must send CORS + Accept-Ranges).
Test: serve.mjs now answers HEAD + Range (206) and falls back to the
ifcviewer-web source dir for sample.ifcview (embedded in the wasm, not in
build-web). New smoke case loads ?model=/sample.ifcview and asserts it
renders via the Range path. 6/6 web smoke + 107/107 unit pass; desktop
unaffected (web-guarded; only the shared field rename touches it).

Desktop pick reads the pick staging buffer back with a blocking
`while(!done) waitTickInstance()` spin. On web that spin is a no-op
(Asyncify is off) and hangs the JS event loop, so click-to-select was
dead on web. This adds an async sibling that uses the spontaneous
map-callback pattern (AllowSpontaneous + the browser microtask loop)
already proven by the HiZ readback — no blocking.
- encodePickReadbackToStaging(x,y,want_normal): the pick-pass render +
copy-texel-to-staging, extracted from pickObjectAt verbatim and shared
by both readbacks (desktop sync path unchanged).
- pickObjectAtAsync(x,y,cb) [web]: encode, then map the staging buffer
with a spontaneous callback that delivers object_id to cb. One pick in
flight at a time (a pick issued mid-map is dropped → cb(0)).
- applyPickToSelection(id, add, remove): routes a pick result through the
selection state machine (replace / Shift-add / Ctrl-remove / empty-click
clear), mirroring the desktop ViewportWindow click semantics. selection_
marks dirty so the next render's uploadSelectionFlagsIfDirty flushes the
highlight.
main_web wires it: a left release under a 4px drag threshold (no orbit) is
a pick at down-position * devicePixelRatio, with Shift/Ctrl modifiers;
the result callback applies selection and requests a frame. Web + desktop
build clean; 107/107 unit tests pass.

Picked files are no longer copied whole into the wasm heap. The browser
File object stays in JS (Module.__ifcvFile) and is read lazily through
Blob.slice byte ranges, so a 200-500 MB sidecar never enters wasm linear
memory — only chunk-sized slices do.
Mechanism (web-only, #if __EMSCRIPTEN__):
- JS glue (EM_JS): ifcvFileSize + ifcvReadRangeInto — slice [off,off+n)
of the File and copy it into a caller-provided heap pointer, then call
back _ifcv_on_range_done. No malloc across the boundary; C pre-sizes
the destination from the read plan.
- webReadRangesAsync: reuses planSidecarReadRanges to coalesce a range
set into Blob.slice reads (1 MB gap — each slice is an async hop),
scatters them into a destination laid out in input order, and fires a
continuation when the whole set lands. An in-flight map keyed by id
survives unordered_map rehash (scratch buffers are heap-owned).
- loadSidecarFromBlobWeb: async metadata load — head (16 B) -> index
count -> tail-to-EOF -> parseSidecarHead/Tail -> applyCachedModel, then
tags the model streaming_from_blob and frames it.
- driveStreamingLoads: blob-sourced models route to beginWebChunkLoad
(async vertex+index range reads -> applyStreamedChunk in the callback),
holding is_loading until the bytes arrive. The embedded MEMFS sample
keeps the synchronous fopen path.
shell.html stashes the File and calls _load_sidecar_from_blob_c instead of
FS.writeFile'ing the whole thing; EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS=['FS'] dropped.
Desktop is untouched (the new members + driveStreamingLoads branch are all
emscripten-guarded). Web links clean; desktop rebuilds; 107/107 unit tests
pass.

Adds an "Open .ifcview…" button that opens the browser's native file
chooser. The picked file's bytes are written into MEMFS and a new
exported entry point, load_uploaded_model_c, reads them back via the
existing loadSidecarFromPath: it resetScene()s the current model
(replace, not append), loads the sidecar, and viewAll()s it. Geometry
becomes resident over subsequent frames through render()'s inline
driveStreamingLoads, same as the embedded sample.
Deliberately a file picker, not drag-drop: browser file drag-drop needs
an X11 drag source (a file manager) to drag *from*, which a minimal WM
(ratpoison) doesn't provide. The native chooser is WM-independent.
Exports _load_uploaded_model_c and the FS runtime method; URL/byte-range
fetch of remote models stays for #88.

Register emscripten HTML5 pointer/wheel handlers that translate raw
events into ViewportCore::orbitBy / panBy / dollyBy: left-drag orbits,
middle/right-drag pans, wheel zooms. mousedown binds to the canvas;
mousemove/up bind to the window so a drag keeps tracking off-canvas. A
contextmenu suppressor lets right-drag pan without the browser menu.
Pure callbacks — no Asyncify, no sync spin — so none of the web init
gotchas apply. Pick stays deferred until the async buffer-readback
rewrite. The embedded sample is now navigable on Chrome + Firefox.

Wire up wgpu init + scene load + RAF render so the embedded sample
sidecar paints on the canvas in both browsers.
Root-cause fix: BufferPool::addSubBuffer spin-waited on
PopErrorScope, which resolves via JS microtask on Dawn-web. The
spin blocked the JS event loop, so the microtask never fired and
the first allocation hung the page indefinitely. Skip the
error-scope dance on Emscripten; trust the buffer pointer.
ViewportCore: add initWgpuAsyncWeb (nested-callback adapter→device
chain with AllowSpontaneous mode, no spin) and loadSidecarFromPath
(Qt-free entry point). waitTickInstance becomes a no-op shim on
web; cull-threads / streaming_thread_ / wgpuSurfacePresent gated
off; chunk I/O runs inline.
main_web.cpp: AppState + initWgpuAsyncWeb → buildPipelines (+
HiZ/edge/pick) → loadSidecarFromPath → ready flag → Module._app_ptr
handoff. The RAF loop lives in shell.html (NOT here) because any
RAF helper called from inside Dawn-web's wgpu Promise.then chain
stalls the device callback.
CMakeLists.txt: EXIT_RUNTIME=0 + Module.noExitRuntime=true (shell)
keeps wasm alive past main() so the device promise lands; no
Asyncify; export _raf_tick_c so shell.html's RAF can call it.

1) Async-wait spin loops in initWgpu / probeAndCreatePool / pick /
screenshot finalize all called wgpuInstanceProcessEvents in a tight
while. wgpu-native drives queued callbacks from there; Dawn-web
queues the callback for an event-loop tick that never happens
because wasm doesn't yield back to JS. Page hung at the first
await (RequestAdapter) and Firefox flagged the tab as slow.
New `waitTickInstance` helper calls emscripten_sleep(0) on
Emscripten (Asyncify unwinds wasm, JS resolves WebGPU promises,
resume) before wgpuInstanceProcessEvents drains completions into
our callback. Desktop path is unchanged. All five
`while (!done) ProcessEvents` sites switch to the helper.
2) streaming_thread_.start() inside initWgpu spawns a std::thread.
On Emscripten that needs -pthread + COOP/COEP headers from the
hosting page. None of that is wired yet, so the start is gated
`#if !defined(__EMSCRIPTEN__)`. The sync chunk-load fallback
already inside driveStreamingLoads carries the load until #88
replaces it with emscripten_fetch.
3) wgpuSurfacePresent at the end of render() aborted with
"wgpuSurfacePresent is unsupported (use requestAnimationFrame via
html5.h instead)" — Dawn-web composites the canvas at the end of
the RAF tick automatically. Call skipped on Emscripten;
WebViewportHost::requestFrame is the RAF-tick driver.
Page now loads, brings up wgpu, configures the surface, and renders
one frame with the configured background. The frame log in the
status overlay shows the first-frame startup spike (~1000 fps from
a 1 ms tick); subsequent frames are paint-on-demand, which on the
empty scene means no frames at all — consistent with the desktop
event-driven model.
Replaces the standalone wgpu-only clear-color spike in main_web.cpp
with a real WebViewportHost implementation: surface creation via the
emdawnwebgpu canvas-selector source, framebufferSize through
emscripten_get_element_css_size + dpr, requestFrame as a deferred
flag the RAF main_loop consumes, quit through emscripten_force_exit.
main_web.cpp now does the same lifecycle the desktop initWgpu shell
does: core_.initWgpu(web_limits=true) → buildPipelines → buildHiz/
Edge/Pick. The render loop runs core_.render() once per RAF tick when
the host has flagged a frame pending, with a surface reconfigure on
size changes.
Builds clean under emcc 6.0 + emdawnwebgpu (1.4 MB wasm, 278 KB JS
glue). Renders an empty scene with the configured background — the
plumbing is end-to-end through the same ViewportCore code path the
desktop build uses. No sidecar load yet: that lands with the
emscripten_fetch streaming backend (#88).
First Emscripten target. main_web.cpp brings up a wgpu instance against
a <canvas id="viewer-canvas">, requests adapter+device asynchronously
via the standard webgpu.h callback chain, configures the surface, and
clears to the BonsaiViewer slate background on each RAF tick. No
sidecar load, no pipelines, no scene state yet — the goal is to end-
to-end verify the build + canvas + wgpu plumbing.
src/ifcviewer-web/ is a separate CMake root (not a subdir under the
desktop cmake/CMakeLists.txt) so the web build doesn't have to opt out
of Qt / OpenCASCADE / IfcGeom find_packages it can't satisfy. It adds
src/ifcviewer EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL and consumes only IfcViewerCore.
src/ifcviewer/CMakeLists.txt now gates the wgpu-native fetch + the
Qt-using IfcViewer target + install commands behind NOT EMSCRIPTEN.
The wgpu_native link target still resolves under Emscripten as an
INTERFACE library that activates --use-port=emdawnwebgpu (Dawn's
webgpu.h, replaces the legacy -sUSE_WEBGPU=1).
Build:
source path/to/emsdk_env.sh
emcmake cmake -S src/ifcviewer-web -B build-web -G Ninja
ninja -C build-web
python3 -m http.server --directory build-web 8080
# open http://localhost:8080/IfcViewerWeb.html in a WebGPU-capable
# browser (Chrome 113+, Edge 113+).
Phase B step 3 of #45.
