Is IDF format file viewable in Autodesk Forge? - autodesk-forge

I would like to export circuit file to idf format in Altium Designer and see it on Forge. Is it possible?

If you talk about the forge viewer, you will find a list of supported formats for translation here :
https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/model-derivative/v2/developers_guide/supported-translations/
To visualiaze a file in forge viewer you need to previously upload, then translate it to SVF/SVF2 which is the viewer default format

Autodesk Forge Custom parameters from revit

In revit project, my plugin add custom parameters in some of the sheets
Now, I convert the rvt file to svf2 format with derivative api and display the svf2 with the forge viewer.
I should read my custom parameters and there values (only read, not display) and use them in my viewer extension, but I do not find them in the model.
so question:
are the parameters exported ?
if yes, how can I retrieve them ?
thanks in advance
regards

Export Revit file format as Gltf or Svf and view offline in Forge-Viewer

I want to view the revit file offline in Forge viwer. For this, I need to convert the rvt file to svf or gltf file format. I couldn't find any free open source code to export as svf. Although I managed to export it as a gltf file format, I could not view this gltf file in forge-viewer due to some errors that I could not resolve. Can you share the open source code that I can use to export the Revit file as svf or gltf format without any errors?
Unfortunately, The SVF file format is Autodesk's private property designed for the Autodesk Forge platform, so the only way of exporting SVF is via Forge Model Derivative API. There is no such open source tool to generate SVF.
For glTF, it depends on your Gltf file structure. As I know, Forge Viewer doesn't fully support glTF 2.0 specs. See https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/gltf-20-support-forge-viewer
Could you share a non-confidential reproducible glTF file demonstrating the issue to forge (dot) help (at) autodesk (dot) com? We can help pass it to our engineering team for investigation.

| autodesk Forge | Export RVT into multiple 3D views

Is it possible to convert/translate/export RVT into SVF to get multiple 3D views by using autodesk forge C# library or rest API? By default I am getting only {3D} file after translation/export.
It's related to your Revit file configurations, please follow the instruction of Publishing Settings from Revit for BIM 360 to choose the views you want to show in Forge, and make sure the view set is checked in the dialog.

Why Layer detection isn't possible in Autodesk forge Api for PDF files?

I want to import PDF file in Model derivative API and work with different layers. But it is not detecting layers in PDF models as it does in DWG files. Layer manager option is not visible. What to do?
In cases where the Model Derivative service isn't extracting enough information from your input files, you have a couple of options:
if your input file is a AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, or 3ds Max file, consider extracting the additional information using the Design Automation service
if your input file is a PDF, consider:
viewing the PDF directly in the viewer (see this blog post for more details)
using a 3rd party library (e.g., pdf.js) to extract the additional info yourself

Generate one Viewer file from two design files on Autodesk Forge

Using Autodesk Forge Viewer
I want to generate one viewer file from two IFC files with the Forge API.Can I do that with the Model Derivative API?
You can translate “composed” files (e.g., assembly and part files in Inventor, or XREFs in AutoCAD): https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/model-derivative/v2/tutorials/translate-composite-source-file-to-stl.
Alternatively, you could translate your IFC files separately and load them both into the viewer: https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/supporting-multiple-models-new-modelstructurepanel.
