I've got a Revit model with decals applied on some surfaces. I uploaded the rvt model on Forge and translated using SVF2 format, but when I see the viewer no images are rendered on the decals, even if the objects are translated (I can see them on the ModelBrowser). Decals appear as green border rectangles, fully transparent:
Is it possible to view decal native images on Forge?
How can I integrate the images source file in the translation and make them visible in the Viewer?
Thanks
Unfortunately, Decals on Revit are not supported as of today. It’s logged as RVTLMV-509. In the meantime, you can still apply decals using that technique.

I've got a Gltf2 model which contains an animation (I checked on sandbox.babylonjs.com and I see the animation, so the gltf is ok). Is it possible to view the animation on the Viewer? I translated to SVF2 and loaded the model, but there is nothing referred to the animation...
Is there something more I should include in the translation or some option to use when creating the viewer?
Thanks for your help
glTF animations are not supported, no matter whether you're loading the glTF file into the viewer directly (https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/gltf-20-support-forge-viewer), or converting it to SVF or SVF2 first, as there hasn't been a demand for this feature.
As a potential workaround, you could try loading the glTF file using the standard three.js loader (which I'm guessing does support animations?) and place it inside a viewer overlay.
I have an IFC file, with the model component located quite far from the origin (Due to using the correct actual coordinates of the project). After uploaded and translated to Forge, the viewer does not display properly at the location where the model is located. While the url thumbnail still shows the model fit to view. I attach 2 image as follow. Please help how to fix this.

Forge is usually able to handle BIM models "far away from the origin" quite well. I'd try the following:
check if this isn't just some strange camera preset; when the model is loaded, try double-clicking somewhere on the empty space; this should transition the camera so that it's covering the bounding box of the entire model
alternatively, open the Model Browser panel, and select one of the nodes in the tree to move the camera to it
the Forge Model Derivative service allows you to switch between different loaders when processing an IFC file (go to https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/model-derivative/v2/reference/http/job-POST > "Attributes by Output Type" > "SVF Output", and search for conversionMethod in the advanced properties); give it a try and see if you get better results
And finally, if none of the above helps, consider sharing your IFC design with us (confidentially; we will not share the design with anyone outside of Autodesk) via forge (dot) help (at) autodesk (dot) com so that we could debug the issue on our end.
For some of our Revit models, in Forge viewer, 2D views are display blurry, no element can be selected and the Measure extension does not work on elements and only works on the dimensions and the titleblock.
Like this example:
here and here
But it should be like this
I have tested it with our viewer, A360 viewer and Autodesk Forge Tools vscode extension.
This is because 2D drawings or PDFs can contain both vector graphics and raster graphics (this article explains the difference between the two). The measure extension needs vector graphics in order to work properly.
Thanks to Petr Broz and his hint, by changing the Model Display Style in Revit side to Hidden Line instead of Shaded the problem was solved.
Like this.
Update:
The Shadows in Graphic Display Options, also should be unchecked.
I am using Autodesk Markupscore Extension to draw markups on 2D view. I want to create a separate rvt or CAD file for the drawn markup, which can further be used/opened in Revit soft. So the newly created 2D view(rvt/CAD) will contain only that part of 2D view which is inside the drawn markup, How can I achieve this?
I can't comment on the Revit specific piece (for that I would suggest that you check out the Revit discussion forums) but if we're talking about where Forge can help, I see two options:
you could have a Revit plugin running in the Forge Design Automation service, accepting a Revit document and some coordinates of 2D markups on the input, removing design elements that are outside of the 2D markups via Revit APIs, and generating a new Revit document on the output.
you could customize Forge Viewer to hide or occlude the parts of the 2D drawings you don't want to be visible, for example, by "hiding" them (making them semi-transparent), by changing their color, or by overlaying them with another content such as a blank SVG rectangle.
I have added some materials to a couple of the rooms in my Revit model which seems to end up displaying pure green color (no "Office" text) when the file is uploaded to the Forge Viewer. Is this a familiar matter?
Here are the images for reference:
Revit
Forge
Kind regards,
As Zhong Wu, as of now (Jan/2018) this is not supported: the translation will not understand materials from custom images.
