Started from v7.32, Forge Viewer has the native window selection extension called Autodesk.BoxSelection. It supports both 2D and 3D views, but its button is hidden by default. You can add it back with the following code snippet.

viewer.addEventListener(
      Autodesk.Viewing.EXTENSION_LOADED_EVENT,
      (event) => {
        if(event.extensionId != 'Autodesk.BoxSelection') return;

        var viewer = event.target;
        var boxSelExt = viewer.getExtension('Autodesk.BoxSelection');
        boxSelExt.addToolbarButton(true); //!<<< Show the toolbar button for this extension
      });

Note. This code snippet should be added before loading the model.
