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.

We are having an issue with some Inventor models, where the orientation and up direction in the forge viewer does not match the home view within Inventor.
This screenshot is of a sample model in Inventor (home view):
cylinder pointing upwards
This screenshot shows how it is displayed in the viewer:
cylinder on it's side
We are creating the svf file directly from Inventor design automation, in exactly the same way as the forge configurator sample https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/forge-configurator-inventor
Is there anything that we need to do explicitly to have the viewer use the home view and up direction from the Inventor model?
I think I have now found the answer to my own question!
In the svf exporter I had turned off the option to export file properties:
oOptions.set_Value("ExportFileProperties", false);
Thinking that this would just eliminate the part properties, but it seems like it must remove the up direction and home view also.
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.
Description
Mirrored model has its materials flipped inside out when viewed in Autodesk Forge Viewer.
Adding a section plane reverts the mirrored model back to what it should look like.
We are using this sample viewer from Autodesk.
This weird behavior does not occur when looking at the model in BIM 360 Docs.
We've included screenshots and steps to reproduce this here.
EDIT: while writing this post, we came across Problems with forceDoubleSided setting. Has this been fixed?
Thanks.
Simply loading the 'Autodesk.AEC.LevelsExtension' might fix the problem.
See https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/bim-360-viewer-vs-forge-viewer
Is it possible to show custom textures applied to materials in Revit using the forge viewer?
Thanks for your help in advance.
My understanding is that you want to use custom JavaScript to modify textures of the model after having translated it. If this is the case here is an example on how you can modify textures in the viewer: Viewing.Extension.Material
You can test the live version using a revit model here. Click the + from lower-right control and select "Office" for example.
I'm working on a Revit Mechanical Model (Duct, Pipes and Cable Trays).
I setup a Shaded view in Revit with a custom color scheme (organized applying different material to each System Type). The graphics is clean and works.
When we translate the Model to the Forge platform, the result is a wrong color scheme in the Viewer. It looks like the fittings got wrong material after model translation.
In this picture you can see:
- on the left, the Revit Model view (shaded style),
- on the right, the Forge Viewer with wrong colors.
We tried with different models but the problem is always the same. is this a bug? anyone got this kind of issue?
