Forge Design Automation is not a complicated system, however, it is always the best to see it's live usage. We will go from the simplest one to the real-world scenarios. We will play with Design Automation without writing any line of code. We will use the tools which will put you on the speed. You can use these tools for sketching your workflow you want to prove.

Customers of the Autodesk Forge platform are often interested in bringing their content into different non-browser environments, for example, to AR/VR headsets. The Forge Developer Advocacy and Support team is developing a couple of solutions that help with exactly that, and in this instructional demo we will take a look at how these solutions can be used.

Showcasing best practices for writing extension on forge viewer.

Customers can leverage Design Automation service to run add-ins which read and modify Revit models in the cloud, rather than running those jobs locally on desktop Revit. However, testing and debugging a cloud app brings new challenges that don't happen on the desktop. We will teach you how to figure out the most common problems in the cloud and solutions for them.

Publishing multiple drawings into a single pdf is a common use case. For instance Design Views generated in Revit are often exported as AutoCAD drawings to be published into pdf file. Through Forge Design Automation for AutoCAD the objective can be achieved.

Are you looking to rapidly generate all combinations of your iLogic model?  In this class, we will demonstrate how to use an Inventor addin to generate an input file for each possible combination of the model.  The Design Automation API for Inventor on Forge will then be leveraged to generate a model for each configuration.  Finally, the models will be uploaded to Fusion team for easy sharing of the model. Lastly Project Sync will be used to check the models into Vault.

In this presentation, Autodesk Consulting will share how they created the custom tools necessary to make BIM 360 match the specific needs of our customers – from creating a project setup tool that guarantees that projects are set up in the correct fashion and by the correct people, to building a backup tool that provides the off-site file storage required by certain customers, to embedding BIM 360 into Microsoft Teams.

Automation is key to increase productivity and to reduce human error, but how to bring that to BIM 360 workflows? Design Automation API brings the power of the desktop engines to the cloud, including AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, and more. This class will show how to automate common tasks for those files, focusing on how to read from BIM 360 Document Manager, modify, check, and save back the results. A basic understanding of Forge programming is required.

Data is only as powerful as our ability to find what we need.  And with the exponential increase of design documents hosted on BIM 360 Document Manager, a custom search is becoming a must-have. This class will explore how to implement a custom deep file search using Forge, Autodesk's cloud platform, and AWS services. Basic understanding of general & Forge programming is required.

Watch this talk to learn how to utilize Power Automate, a low-code development tool by Microsoft, to leverage data from your Autodesk cloud services using Forge APIs. Discover how to build a custom connector for your Forge solution in Microsoft Power Automate. I will cover how you can automate the extraction of data from your BIM 360 projects, export it into your enterprise database and stream it to a live PowerBI dashboard.

Learn how to access Forge services and data without writing a single line of code and without any command-line magic. We've built a plugin for the popular, open source editor Visual Studio Code (the lightweight brother of Microsoft's Visual Studio) and in this demo we will show you how to use it to access a variety of Forge services, incl. uploading files to the Data Management service, translating designs with the Model Derivative service, or setting up work items for the Design Automation service.

Dashboards are one of the most use cases when using Forge, People need to see their data in order to make better decisions about upcoming deadlines, cost management and building operations. Forge lets you get the data from your CAD models & together with PowerBi integrations we are able to build rich Visual Content dashboards to better make our decisions.

Git is widely used as source control for developers across the globe. And Github is the cloud-based version, easy to use, free, and super powerful. This lightning talk will explain the key concepts to start using github to host your Forge project today.
