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.

I couldn't find Forge Viewer API demo site and don't know what it looks like. I appreciate it if you have some experience using it and answer questions below.
Can you put markup comments on 3D models easily?
When you update comments, are they automatically saved right after you click some update button?
Can you delete 3D model data easily?
Is it mandatory to upload 3D model data to the Autodesk cloud server when you use the Forge Viewer? I don't want to put design data outside of my service but want to see 3D model on a browser.
You can upload any model and check with Viewer through viewer.autodesk.com
We have a few options for markups on documents. this blog might be helpful. You can also take advantage of sprites and textgeometry for labeling your models
Depending on the method you'll need to implement an algorithm to save, store and load your markups.
The data you see with Viewer is the SVF(2) generated by a translation from a source file. To modify the source file, you'll need to run a Design Automation job.
You need to upload your models to a bucket in order to trigger a translation, generating an SVF(2) that can be rendered with Viewer (refer here).
Formats like gltf, pdf, and dwf can be loaded without the need for translations.
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.
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.
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.
In our web application, we want to view AutoCAD files using Autodesk viewer API.
As per our requirement we want to select the file and need to open directly in auto-desk viewer site, where all default options like 2D, 3D views are available.
Is it possible to view those files, directly in Autodesk viewer, instead of creating our own viewer?
We do have a minified online viewer that takes a svf - pls make sure all svf assets are available at the same location and open to public access with CORs allowed:
https://autodeskviewer.com/viewers/latest/viewer3d.html?svf=url/to/your/svf (make sure to put in the url to your svf)
But this is NOT an official setup of any sort and is subject to change w/o notice. You are very much encouraged to develop your own, just a few lines of code would do this trick if you already have your models extracted.
