Question BIM Metadata - using stored data

Hi emmabnz,

From what I understand, you're already quite close to what you want to achieve, if you already have the UI + the raycast.
Therefore, I'm going to assume that, in your script, you already found the reference to the game object that contains the metadata you're interested to read. I hope this assumption is correct !

Here's more or less what you're looking for if you want to iterate through the game object's metadata :

Code (CSharp):

1. Metadata metadata = gameObject.GetComponent<Metadata>();
2. foreach (var couple in metadata.GetParameters())
3. {
4.     Debug.Log($"key: {couple.Key}");
5.     Debug.Log($"value: {couple.Value.value}");
6.     Debug.Log($"group: {couple.Value.group}");
7. }

Of course, you would replace the Debug.Log calls with you own code to populate your UI

EDIT : I just realized you might also be looking for what you need to do to actually update the text in your UI ?
There are many different threads on the web that can help you achieve this part, but the main idea is the following :

• You'll need to retrieve a reference to the gameObject that contains your UI text
  
• You can retrieve your text component using the GetComponent call. Be careful to retrieve the proper component -- it will depend on whether you're using the classic Text or TextMeshPro.
• Lastly, you will be able to update the text by calling the proper property or method in the text component you retrieved.
• See https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...yEngine.UI.Text.html#UnityEngine_UI_Text_text for classic Text component ;
  See https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/c...xt.html#TMPro_TMP_Text_SetText_System_String_ for TextMeshPro component.

Hope that helps,
Guillaume
