The Forge Design Automation API is a cloud-based service that enables the automation capabilities of AutoCAD software, Inventor software, Revit software, and 3ds Max software. This presentation will explain and demonstrate two new features that increase the service’s capabilities. First, the preview feature of Open Network Access breaks down a longstanding barrier wherein the Design Automation API disallows network access during the running of a job. Letting customers add in access networks through HTTP(S) calls will solve some problems of workflows currently running in the Design Automation API, and will help extend the scope of work processes that the Design Automation API can support. WebSocket endpoints is another new offering that points back to client devices (desktop, mobile, or laptop), sending progress and completion responses so the applications don't need to make repeated Get requests—plus no callback for onComplete argument is needed to find the status of a job. We will also introduce and demo other small but peppy features that the Design Automation API has supported since last year.

The new Data Exchange service helps you unlock your data and gives you the flexibility to share the right data with the right stakeholders at the right time. Its flexible and powerful API allows you to access the granular data in exchanges and, given the structure of the data, it is also possible to quickly identify and get the difference between the versions of a shared data subset. In this class, we’ll have an overview of the concepts used by the Data Exchange to describe the data structure, and we’ll work with these concepts to explain how the data’s organized within an exchange container. We’ll discuss the current capabilities of the Data Exchange API as well as some future functionalities. Given its current capabilities, we’ll go through some workflows that best suit its use. To be fair, we’ll also see some cases where it might not be the right solution, and compare it with other APIs like the Model Derivative API, the BIM 360 API, and Autodesk Construction Cloud Model Properties API.

Your Building Information Modeling (BIM) data increases significantly in value the more you make use of it. Cloud-based technologies make this extremely easy. We explore how to connect the desktop and the cloud to make any BIM data you choose available to anyone you choose, including optional round-trip real-time editing of selected properties and features. This class discusses extracting information from your Revit Models, enhancing Collaboration for Revit workflows, new additions to the growing suite of The Building Coder desktop-BIM-cloud samples, AEC related Forge APIs such as the Viewer and the Model Derivative API. The latter enables easy translation of design files to different formats and extracting data from them to use almost anywhere. Using demonstrations and dissections of sample applications, we show how these programming tools can easily and vastly enhance your BIM workflows. This is an advanced class for experienced programmers. This session features Revit and Forge. AIA Approved

In this class, we’ll learn the best practices of maximizing Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, Revit software, and other various tools to create and maintain a single source. We’ll also go beyond the usual single source of truth implementation by exploring the innovative data-focused approach to ensure data consistency and compliance achieved by combining the cloud, central project requirements repository, model authoring tools, and API automation capabilities. Regardless of whether you’re involved in project planning, execution, monitoring, or closing, you’ll find multiple interesting ideas, workflows, and implementation examples of using the latest technology to enhance your capabilities and achieve success.

In this class, we introduce you to the BIM 360 Glue API. The Glue API is composed of 2 parts: a web services API and a display component (viewer). The web services API is REST-based. It allows you to access BIM 360 project data in the cloud, such as users, models, and actions. The display component (or viewer API) can be embedded in your application. It provides additional control to its user interface and allows you to customize the viewing experience. Using the Glue API, you can, for example, automate updating projects and models from external applications. BIM 360 Glue keeps track of user's actions as data in addition to traditional model-centric information, which can be used for progress tracking, health monitoring of projects, and so on. As BIM 360 Glue is totally cloud-based, you can connect your own web services applications with the Glue projects. We also show you examples of use cases and demonstrate what you can do using the Glue API. This class assumes you have a basic understanding of web programming, such as web services. Working knowledge of the REST API is helpful for understanding the discussion.

This class will help you kick start and accelerate your development on the Forge platform by demonstrating best practice workflows and tips & tricks for managing REST API calls and consuming JSON data. Examples will include uses of the Model Derivative API, Data Management API (including accessing data in BIM 360 Docs), Authentication API and Design Automation API. Prior knowledge in Web and Cloud development is recommended.  

The Autodesk 360 cloud-computing platform is all about enabling users to access their data from everywhere, anytime. The ability to view your design in 3d from any computer or device brings a total new experience in sharing information for your friends, colleagues, and collaborators. While we will explore how to use this WEB / Cloud Service API for creating a collaboration tool, and manipulating geometry, and metadata ; we would also get a truly new 3D journey using LeapMotion and either the Oculus Rift or simply the Google Cardboard. Come to the class with your Android phone or iPhone and get a Google Cardboard back home.

Innovation drives the work Paric does to help improve organizational efficiencies. With the ever-growing construction technology ecosystem, data silos become a real obstacle to get the most out of these tools. Autodesk provides many powerful software systems that can help simplify our lives, but it can be a challenge to get the different products to work together across an organization and with other tools. By maximizing the APIs provided by Autodesk Platform Services, and using tools like Autodesk Construction Cloud Connect, you can automate and streamline these processes to simplify what are otherwise repetitive and error-prone processes. These automations can provide the basis for future integrations across business operations. In this course, you will learn how Paric partnered with Autodesk Construction Solutions to automate the workflows between a CRM and Autodesk Build to reduce the required employee resources, increasing operation efficiencies and implementation of established corporate standards.

In this class, we will introduce you to BIM 360 Docs software’s API. BIM 360 Docs software is a cloud-based document management system tailored specifically for construction projects. As the document at the center of BIM 360 family products, BIM 360 Docs software promises to play an important role for unified development of the BIM 360 mobile and web platform. BIM 360 Docs software provides an API as a part of the Forge Platform Data Management API. Using the Forge Platform API, you can access documents stored in BIM 360 Docs software, display models using the Viewing API, and search data in the model. Using the API, for example, you can automate updating models from external applications, make a report to keep track of a team’s progress, and connect your own web services applications with BIM 360 Docs projects. We will show you how to get started with the BIM 360 Docs API, share examples of use cases, and demonstrate what you can do using the BIM 360 Docs API. This session features BIM 360 Docs and Forge.
