Script XMLHttpRequest

[hhd]

I am studying a script that utilizes information using openapi. In the InfraWorks Scripts window

var xh = new XMLHttpRequest();

When I run, an error appears.

Error: ReferenceError: Can`t find variable: XMLHttpRequest

Is there any way to use XMLHttpRequest in InfraWorks?

Hi @hhd ,

to my knowledge InfraWorks only supports JavaScript, see https://knowledge.autodesk.com/article/Autodesk-InfraWorks-JavaScript-API-Documentation.

The only way I know of bringing up a web browser page is through a tooltip.

This script will bring up Google Maps at a particular latitude and longitude (embedded in the source data) for bus stop locations.

The key line to bring up Google Maps is in the one for str1. The tooltip is embedded into the City Furniture model used to represent the bus stop. 

Process(SOURCE, CITY_FURNITURE) {
CITY_FURNITURE.EXTERNAL_ID = SOURCE["FeatId"];
CITY_FURNITURE.MODEL_SCALE_X = 25;
CITY_FURNITURE.MODEL_SCALE_Y = 25;
CITY_FURNITURE.MODEL_SCALE_Z = 25;
CITY_FURNITURE.NAME = SOURCE["Bus_Route"];
CITY_FURNITURE.RULE_STYLE = "3D Model/City Furniture/Bus Stop";
var str1 = "<a href='https://www.google.ca/maps/@"
var str2 = SOURCE["Latitude"] var str3 = ","
var str4 = SOURCE["Longitude"]
var str5 = ",50m/data=!3m1!1e3'>Bus Stop in Google Map</a>" var
res = str1.concat(str2, str3, str4, str5);
CITY_FURNITURE.TOOLTIP = res
return true;
}

The script you informed seems to be a script related to Data Source.

I try to run it in the Script window that comes out by pressing Ctrl + 2.

Thanks for any help though.

@hhd Here is a quick video to show how to use scripts for tooltips

[roskirko]

Put the following into the Tooltip property HTML section for any object (right click on the object and select Properties) in your model to show how to call up Google Maps, for instance, from the tooltip:

<a href='https://www.google.ca/maps/' >Google Maps</a>

Make sure to click the Update button to update the properties. Once the property is updated, hover over the object, wait for the tooltip to show and select the link. Google Maps will appear in your default browser.

Programmatically, XMLHttpRequest is not supported (yet) in Infraworks).
