Technical reports, engineering insights, and product updates from the SiloLink team.
How the SiloLink viewer keeps 1-million-object federated BIM models interactive in a browser tab: mesh batching, instancing, worker-backed edges, and the tradeoffs behind each choice.
IFC2StructuredData is now open-source. One command flattens an IFC model into spreadsheet-friendly tables and per-element meshes — ready for Excel, pandas, Blender, or three.js.
Two algorithms for computing geometry signatures from BIM meshes — one fast and exact, one robust to floating-point noise. Achieving 95.7% accuracy on constructed datasets.
How we built a change detection pipeline that handles GUID instability, processes 533K objects in 24 seconds, and gives BIM teams a clear view of what actually changed between model versions.
