I have just discovered a new function that I have been waiting for for a very long time.
It is now possible to publish Recap Pro projects to the cloud for viewing and annotating. Demo
if I have seen it correctly , its atm only possible in BIM360 Docs, but here the Forge Viewer is used.
Now my question:
When will this function be made available to me as a developer?
BIM 360 Docs is built on top of the Forge Viewer, it should be already available for you to translate the model and display it in your own application.
Something you might want to try is to upload the RCP file to BIM 360 and then get the URN from there to pass it to your custom made viewer, so it takes care of the needed setup for translation.

I am developing My own project to view model from file in Autodesk Docs, but I am really confuse, How should I start from? for now I use 2 legged Authentication and got and access denied.Can someone help me to summarize overview steps to finally my custom viewer can view it?
Overall steps to view forge model in forge viewer.
I'd suggest to start with one of our tutorials, for example:
Simple Viewer - this tutorial guides you through the development of an application that manages the files of its users (designs are stored in a custom OSS bucket owned by the application)
Hubs Browser - this tutorial might be better for your use case as it builds an application that can access designs of its users in other APS applications such as Autodesk Docs, Autodesk Construction Cloud, or BIM360
I am a unity game developer and I want to create 3d mesh generation from images in my unity App. I found a link of Forge Autodesk
Is it possible with "Reality check API" to implement this.
Any suggestion/SDK will be helpful.
If you simply want to generate static assets for your Unity app from photos locally, you could just look at Autodesk ReCap. The Forge Reality Capture APIs would be useful if you wanted to generate the meshes in the cloud instead. I'm afraid we don't have an SDK for these APIs but you could probably put together a simple bash script using curl based on the official tutorial.
My Revit project contains multiple 3D views.
By default only the {3D} View will be translated. I would like to know how to choose which 3d view to upload.
I found this post where a solution to the problem is described. Export Multiple 3D Views
The plugin is no longer available, but this function will surely still exist.
When I upload the Revit project to BIM 360, I only get a small part of the created 3D views displayed.
I only want to visualize a small part of the project in AR.
My current solution is to display the part in the {3D} view via section box, save the project, upload it and then prepare it for Unity with the AR/VR toolkit.
Started Revit 2017, it got renamed as Publish Settings, please check this page: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/Revit-CAR/files/GUID-09FBF9E2-6ECF-447D-8FA8-12AB16495BC3-htm.html
Please select views you want to see in Forge Viewer in view sets of the Publish Settings before uploading to Forge for translation. Afterward, save the modified RVT to your hard disk, then upload it to Forge OSS.
Is it possible to use Forge with some BIM 360 API to gain access to the changes in a model from one version to the next?
Unfortunately, there is no API available for doing BIM360 model comparison on Forge currently. However, here are two workarounds you might be interested in:
Compare changes via Forge Viewer: https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/comparing-versions-viewer
Dump changes via Revit Addin, and then integrate its results with Forge.
What you can do though is to leverage Webhook to get notified when a new version is “upserted” to the Data Management API. See docs here:
Official Doc: https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/webhooks/v1/tutorials/create-a-hook-data-management/

First of all, I really love the work you guys have done with the integration of the Forge Viewer in BIM 360 Teams! Kudos!
To my question:
I want to configure the Forge Viewer that displays my model when I click on my specific project in Teams.
Examples: Let's say I wanted to edit some CSS, or add an extension.
My understanding is that both the Forge Viewer and BIM 360 Teams has open API and that I therefor can be able to modify as per my request?
Kindly let me know.
If I read your question correctly, you want to customize the BIM 360 Team webpage directly. This is not possible.
The Viewer in BIM 360 Team is a specific implementation of the Forge Viewer. You cannot customize it (e.g. via CSS), or load extensions into it. I.e. BIM 360 Team does not currently expose any API that allows you to directly customize the BIM 360 'user interface'.
However, you can use the Autodesk Forge APIs to create your own webpage that can list the files in a user's BIM 360 Team account (Data Management API) and allow them to be displayed in your own Forge Viewer implementation, and customize the Viewer behavior as you need..
To understand how to navigate the BIM 360 Team project/folder structure, take a look at this tutorial. To list the contents of a folder, use this API. Basic Viewer customization is covered in the Viewer tutorials.
If that is what you want, if you explain what specific Viewer customizations you need, then we should be able to point you to a code snippet or sample that demonstrates it.
