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.

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.
