I created one Mashup with 3D Model widget. I want to show live sensor data in same model.
Is is possible to show data?

Hi @Swapnil_More ,
Actually, I could not suggest better solution because currently the thingview so far I know, is the best viewer PTC extension .
As mention above you can use WebGL toolkit to create your own thingview extension. But this requires that you will create your own extension using the WebGl toolkit for Creo View and for this you need to purchase Creo view WebToolkit module and also to be able to develop your own Thingwork extensions. This is could be probable solution but no 100% guarantee that this at the end will work – requires some further tests
I am not sure if this option could be possible solution for you but just for the case I want to metion it here.
This is option is applicable on windows plattform where the vuforia studio is installed. It used the preview mode. The option is described in PTC article:
So the effect is the following - see picture above so that it could be called form a link in a Thingworx mashup (unfortunately this will not work inside a Web Frame widget) and it calls the preview from the Experience Service.
This also will display the live data! Here below an other example:
Hello @Swapnil_More
of course what functionality is possible depends of the used 3D Model Viewer Extension. I
So I will consider the answer of this question only for the PTC extension used by navigate and based on the thingview libraries. I know that there are other 3d extensions but generally they have less functionality.
So back to the thingview - it is the most used viewer and it is based on thingview libraries. Additional customers could developed a new 3d viewer extension using the WebGL Creo View Toolkit but this is not trivial and required the purchase of the Creo View Toolkit module. The webGL toolkit provides API for developing of Creo View Web applications based on the thingview libraries.
What you can do in the thingview extension:
The possible direct actions which could be started to change the appearance are:
Describing what is possible in this extension will indirectly answer your question. But to make it more clear - it is currently not possible to change any visible values in the 3d Model display
To be sure I tested also with the API in Creo View WebGL api where we have more possibilities. For example in the picture below:
we have here a callout symbol which used a Creo parameter. So that the parameters / attributes of the components will be displayed in a particular figure. The idea was to change the parameter and so to change the display. The API could change the parameter fine but unfortunately the display will not update!
So means that the parameter change will not be displayed in the view and we cannot use a parameter to display any dynamic values.
can you suggest me a best 3d viewer extension for ThingWorx
