3D geometry view of gbXML files?

Are there any free web-based APIs that can accept gbXML file as input and return the 3D geometry view of gbXML files? So I can have the 3D view in my website.

It will be great if the view can have the similar behavior as SketchUp, such as Zoom in/out, rotate, move.

You could do this with the OpenStudio CLI. There are methods to import gbXML and an existing Measure to generate 3D geometry HTML. You'd need to write a small Measure to call the import method then you could string together those two Measures in an OpenStudio Workflow and run rather compactly with the CLI.

You might be able to use Read gbXML Polyloop/Spider gbXML Viewer. I'm not sure what kind of API it has but it is open source so you can look at the code.

Offiline I've used DDS Cad Viewer: http://www.dds-cad.net/downloads/dds-...

I think viewing of the 3-D model, particular when GBXML is export from other programs (I'm looking at you REVIT) is critically important to QC. I'd be very interested in an Online viewer.
