'Why the latest version of forge viewer V7.58 is only working with buffer geometry
I recently started working on forge viewer. As the version of forge viewer I was using in my project was 7.2 and now I have updated it to V 7.58. Only the issue now I'm facing is, I'm unable to create extrude geometry with current version V 7.58.
- What the situation is -- I want to create lines (i.e. tubes with thickness, not the lines only) in the scene, So I have to create extrude geometry for that , but unable to create. I have verified with shape and material but not a problem with them. And if I try to create buffer geometry directly (i.e. excluding ExtrudeGeometry), then there is no any issue. Geometry is getting created.
- At at the lower versions of Forge viewer, I'm not facing such kind of issue. Its all working fine, extrude geometry also created fine.
- So my question is, Why latest version of forge viewer i.e. V7.58 is only working with buffer geometry ? Is this the issue with latest version of forge viewer really? If it is, How can I resolve it? Is there any source of documentation or anything else which will be helpful for such?

When working with Forge Viewer, you should be able to use both THREE.Geometry and THREE.BufferGeometry, but we would definitely recommend using the latter, as explained in https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/custom-models-forge-viewer. Not only is it a more efficient way of working with geometries, but since the viewer is based on a modified version of three.js version 71, some of the modifications (mainly performance optimizations) could affect the support for THREE.Geometry objects in the future.
