The Forge DevCon launches today. I am putting the final touches to my presentation. One of them was the migration of the roomedit3d viewer extension and web app to the new Forge structure – Forge platform components – Setting up a specific Roomedit3d model – Roomedit3dV2 using OAuth2 to edit any model – Download and installation...

I returned from the Barcelona Forge Accelerator, where I started an exciting new project connecting BIM and the cloud demonstrating two cool possibilities to enhance interaction with the View and Data API, a viewer extension enabling interactive model modification, i.e., translation of selected elements, and a real-time communication of the modification back to the source CAD system – It's Read-Only! How can it be Read-Write? – Genealogy or Where to Start? – Capturing the TransformTool Selection – Determining the TransformTool Translation Vector – POST From Viewer to Server – Broadcast via Socket.io – Desktop Notification Connection and Subscription – Demo Recording – Download and Diff – To Do...

Yesterday, I added a timestamp to my FireRatingCloud mongodb documents with the intention of retrieving only documents modified after a specific moment. Today, let's look at filtering for and retrieving just those. Here are the steps to achieve that
– A MongoDB query and express route using $gt
– C# REST API client accessing the new route
– Download and diff...

The last task I discussed here was the FireRatingCloud batch upload functionality. FireRatingCloud is a C# .NET Revit API add-in REST API MongoDB client of the fireratingdb node.js MongoDB web server. The details of the research and development for this project is extensively documented in the FireRatingCloud GitHub repository. The batch upload vastly improves the upload speed, since an upload of N records is reduced from N separate REST API calls to a constant 2... Read more →

Before getting technical, let me mention that I had a great time with Markus and Wolfgang on ski tours climbing a couple of mountains around the Gemmipass last weekend. Back to the technical stuff, I implemented a batch upload functionality for the FireRatingCloud C# .NET Revit API add-in REST API MongoDB client over a month ago, in Madrid, during the BIM Programming workshop, together with Jose Ignacio Montes of Avatar BIM. Jose noted that uploading the data for all doors in a large building model to the cloud database consumed a significant amount of time, whereas downloading the modified data for the same doors is almost instantaneous...

We successfully completed the European Munich DevDay conference and the subsequent four-day abbreviated Autodesk Cloud Accelerator. Here is the last snapshot of the frosted trees and blue sky from the train station platform in Harras. The most exciting project there for me personally was the implementation of the Revit BIM database and element modification tracker. Next on my rather busy January agenda is the BIM Programming Workshop in Madrid – Jaime's presentations and samples – View and Data API demo sites – Slack team collaborations... Read more →
