About the Website

Planora is a MERN stack website that brings 3D BIM model viewing and review into a standard web browser. Node.js and Express serve lightweight REST API routes, MongoDB stores model metadata and annotation data, and a Next.js/React frontend renders a fast, SEO-friendly interface. Three.js and Rust-compiled WebAssembly handle GPU-accelerated 3D rendering on the client side, so heavy CAD files load smoothly without any desktop software.
