We are showing Autodesk Revit models in Forge Viewer that have 3d views and 2d views. However, only the 3d view is showing in the Forge Viewer and there is no button available for us to navigate to the 2d view.
Do we need to add an extension to enable display of 3d views + 2d sheet views in Forge Viewer?
We need a toggle like what exists in the Fusion Viewer
I found several useful answers to this question of yours searching the Internet
for forge viewer revit 2d sheet.
Two of the answers providing background information and solutions for this are right here on StackOverflow:
Viewing Revit floor plans (2D views) in the Forge Viewer
Autodesk Viewer: Suggestions for 2D view of floor view
The final answer by Mikako Harada to the latter of these two suggests:
If you have access to the RVT model within Revit on the desktop, you can use the user interface to choose the views you wish to include, also discussed by The Building Coder:
Selecting Views to Publish Revit Project on A360
Select Rooms and Views to Publish to the Cloud

I want to show in FORGE Viewer a model created with Autodesk Inventor and edited (new colors & materials) with Autodesk VRED.
The native vp* formats are not supported by Model Derivate: I've tried with a FBX file but the result in FORGE was horrible ;)
Have you some tips about my problem?
Unfortunately VRED formats are not supported by the Forge Model Derivative service at the moment, so you'd have to find an intermediary format with as little quality (material definition) loss as possible. For example, if you could get your Inventor model into Fusion 360 (and perhaps customize its materials there), the materials would look much better in Forge Viewer as they would be rendered with the viewer's PBR shader. Go to https://viewer-rocks.autodesk.io and choose one of the Fusion models (e.g., "Fusion Race Car") to see the shader in action.
Another option would be to apply your custom materials during runtime: https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/custom-shader-materials-forge-viewer.
I am new to Autodesk Forge Viewer. I want to achieve something like this but using splitScreen Extension or in single viewer. Is it possible to do it? I am using Angular component Forge Viewer 7.
Unfortunately the splitscreen extension only supports synchronized navigation between the subscenes - that is you can only see different models in the subscenes from the same view/perspective.
Also see this sample here to achieve synchronized view in two separate viewers.
Autodesk Viewer doesn't seem to render Mass models that were created in FormIt and converted to RVT. I can only see the level delimiters.
I've tried both https://viewer.autodesk.com/ as well as a basic viewer app I built using the Forge tutorials. This is an important part of a system that I'm trying to put together using a few of the Forge APIs.
If Mass type elements cannot be seen in the Viewer, is there a modification I could do using Design Automation v3 that would make the models visible?
Per Eason's advice I added the 3D view to the view set and that enabled the model to fully render in the Autodesk Viewer. This config option can be found under Collaborate->Publish Settings. All models that I imported from FormIt started off with all their views deselected in the view set.
We are using the Autodesk Forge model derivative and viewer API's for sharing Revit models with our customers.
This works very well for almost all our Revit models. But currently we have 2 Revit models which use the same template, and with those 2 models the Forge viewer does not render these correct. It looks like we get some kind of exploded view, materials are not on the correct place etc (see images).
We assume it has something to do with the Revit template, but we cannot find it. Any suggestions?

As a suggestion, on Revit, go to publish settings and confirm the names of the 3D selected to be extracted. On Viewer, ensure you're showing the same view, you can see the name where you load a specific viewable.
I have found a workaround, it looks like the problem was the cars which I was using in the model. These were Revit families where a DWG import was used.
When removing the cars from the model all other materials where rendering fine in the Forge Viewer. I sended the model also to Forge support and hoping for a solution so I can use the cars again.
Is there any way to find a list of IFC spaces and/or RVT rooms in the Forge viewer? I'm making a building simulation app and I'm looking for a way to allow users to select individual spaces/rooms to run their simulation.
