The 3D jobs API lets you create and manage processing jobs that transform 3D source data into viewable model revisions. You submit source files for processing, track job status, and manage results.
What 3D jobs do
Jobs handle the conversion of various 3D file formats into the optimized format used by CDF’s 3D viewer. The processing pipeline:
- Accepts your source files (e.g., PDM, IFC, Revit exports)
- Processes geometry, textures, and metadata
- Produces revisions that you can view and query
Job lifecycle
You can:
- Submit source files for processing
- Track job status as processing runs
- List job results when processing completes
- Manage result rejections when you need to discard or reprocess outputs
Processing large or complex models can take significant time. Monitor job status and use appropriate timeouts when polling.
