Working with Forge from Visual Studio Code

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.

Build your custom Forge integration with Microsoft Power Automate

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.

BIM 360 Deep File search across multiple projects and accounts

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.

BIM 360 automation with Automation

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.

Using Forge to make BIM 360 your own

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.
