- Model: 2,547 elements (2,264 with geometry), 12 Revit categories, structural
Summary. Each createViewer() allocates a WebGL context. Re-creating viewers (hot reload,
route changes, repeated mounts) without disposing leaks contexts. Browsers cap WebGL contexts
(~16); past that the renderer degrades and the page freezes — symptom: JS still responds
but rendering/screenshots hang, no error thrown. We hit exactly this during development.
Fix that resolved it.
window.addEventListener('pagehide', () => viewer.dispose());
// or call viewer.dispose() on component unmountAsks. Show viewer.dispose() in the quickstart (mount/unmount lifecycle), and consider
warning when the active context count gets high.
