Can BIMSurfer use any of the underlying Xeogl features?

[tldddd]

I've noticed that the underlying Xeogl engine has an awful lot of functions and features.

If I wanted to implement them into BIMSurfer, does it use pretty much the same systems and integration should be relatively easy?

For example, if I wanted to implement annotations in BIMSurfer onto a model like the following Xeogl example: http://xeogl.org/examples/#presentation_annotations_tronTank Is that quite achievable without much extra code than that sample shows?

Or does BIMSurfer work quite a different way to Xeogl?

Thanks for any help.

In principle yes, but in case of this particular example I think the xeogl version that ships with BIMSurfer does not yet include xeogl.Annotation as it is a couple versions stale.

Okay, I may be able to upgrade that myself. Thanks for the response.

It's not a drop in replacement. Some functionality that BIMsurfer uses has been removed in subsequent versions of xeogl, such as the way the selected elements are drawn using an overlay. If you make progress on this, we'd be happy if you keep us in the loop.

Any progress on this ? I'd love to be able to add annotations also. Is xeoviewer.js the only file to "modify/update" in order for this to work ?

@Dorkside @tldddd If anyone has successfully integrated xeogl's new features, I also need the xeogl.annotation feature badly

Interested in having annotations available as well
