Offline viewing sample for Autodesk Viewer

Description

This repository demonstrates a self-contained Forge Viewer application, with all the necessary dependencies and resources hosted on your own server, independent of any Forge API endpoints.

Use cases of hosting the entirety of a Viewer application like this sample on your own instance include:

• To be able to view the model even if the client has no or limited networking access to the Forge API endpoints
• Boost loading times if the client experiences slow networking with Forge API endpoints
• To make your application self-contained and isolated from disruptions (though rare) to the Forge API

Live Demo

Setup

To replace the model (in extracted format .svf) to be viewed, change the value of document in index.html.

var options = {
    'document' : './shaver/0.svf',
    'env':'Local'
    };

Run with Python: to start this application with Python 2.x, run below in the directory of your local clone:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

Run with NodeJS: to start this application with NodeJS 5+, run below in the directory of your local clone:

npx http-server -p 8000

Alternatively feel free to spin this sample up with your favorite web server (IIS/Kestrel/Tomcat/Apache/Nginx etc.) as it's 100% static.

Navigate to http://localhost:8000 on Chrome/Firefox/IE 11+/Safari/Opera to see the result.
