How to display a BIM 360 model with forge?
I have been following along with the data visualisation API example found here https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/dataviz/v1/developers_guide/introduction/overview/
And have gotten to the point where I can get it to work with the default model. I'd like to be able to get this to work by taking a model from BIM 360, however the example way to do this that's been given names files and folders that aren't included in the example project.
Following along with the example and creating the missing files results in the application loading, but not bringing in a model, which I believe is because the application failed to log in to BIM 360, but no login prompt appeared.
The tutorial section related to what you're trying to do (https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/dataviz/v1/developers_guide/advanced_topics/integrate_bim360/) is a work-in-progress. I've reported this issue to the engineering team.
In the meantime, if you'd like to try loading an existing model from BIM360 Docs into the reference application, the easiest (albeit hacky) way would be to "steal" the 3-legged access token and the model URN directly from BIM360 Docs. Basically, open one of your designs in BIM360 Docs, open your browser's DevTools, go to the Network tab, and search for requests to one of the Forge endpoints (for example, requests with derivativeservice in their URL):
You can then get the access token and URN from there, and hard-code them in the reference app.
