Automate processes and workflows with Forge

Forge released Design Automation APIs for Revit, Inventor, and 3ds Max last year. Now that it has been a year we wanted to check in with the community to see what they are building with it. There is some pretty exciting stuff, but there are also some critically useful workflows that users are taking advantage of today. Here’s just a small list of some of the capabilities of the Design Automation APIs:

Solving for clash detection
Automating model generation
Displaying in the Forge Viewer
Automate standards checking
Creating configurators
Optimizing toolpaths

To help you learn about these things, we’ve consolidated a list of classes from Autodesk University that you can watch on-demand. Hone your skills when it comes to Design Automation APIs. From basics to beyond, there is a class for you.
