I need to maintain SVF2 versions of Inventor models for use with the Large Model Viewer as part of a web-based storefront application. These are fairly large Inventor assemblies, and I expect eventually we will convert a few hundred GB worth of Inventor data to SVF2. I am uploading the native models to a Forge bucket and executing a conversion job.

I am concerned about the amount of storage that will be required for this over time. Based on a reply to the answer on this post:

can autodesk forge viewer use offline data generated from model derivative api

It appears that the SVF2 will have its own URN, so I may be able to safely delete the model. Will the entire manifest, including the database, continue to be available?

CodePudding user response：

The Model Derivative service is not guaranteed to keep the translation outputs (i.e., SVF or SVF2) if the seed file is not available anymore, so I would suggest to keep the original files in your bucket.

Btw if you have a paid subscription, there is no limit to the amount of data you can keep in the Data Management service. Only the trial subscription is limited to 5GB.
