ricaun.Autodesk.Forge.Oss.DesignAutomation 1.0.8

Autodesk.Forge.Oss.DesignAutomation

PackageReference

<PackageReference Include="ricaun.Autodesk.Forge.Oss.DesignAutomation" Version="*" />

Requirements

• .NET 6 or later
• A registered app on the Forge Developer Portal.

Dependencies

• forge-api-dotnet-oss
• forge-api-dotnet-design.automation

Configuration

By default the Forge credentials could be defined with the following environment variables:

FORGE_CLIENT_ID=<your client id>
FORGE_CLIENT_SECRET=<your client secret>

Custom

You can define a custom header to be sent with each Design Automation requests to the Forge API. The custom header is only enabled if the engine is deprecated.

FORGE_CLIENT_CUSTOM_HEADER_VALUE=<your custom header>

The custom header follow pattern x-my-custom-header: engine value is {0}. (The value {0} is replaced with the engine+version.) The header gonna be x-my-custom-header and the value engine value is Autodesk.Revit+2023 when using the engine Autodesk.Revit+2023.

Samples

This repository contains each sample of the Autodesk Step-by-Step Tutorial.

• Autodesk Tutorial for 3dsmax - DA_3dMax.cs
• Autodesk Tutorial for Autocad - DA_AutoCAD.cs

• Autodesk Tutorial for Revit - DA_Revit.cs

API Reference

The package use the namespace Autodesk.Forge.Oss.DesignAutomation.

DesignAutomationService

DesignAutomationService class contain the methods to interact with the Oss and Design Automation API. Internaly uses the ParameterArgumentService to convert a class with Attributes to convert in the Activity and WorkItem to send the request to the Design Automation API.

MaxDesignAutomationService

IDesignAutomationService designAutomationService = new MaxDesignAutomationService("AppName")
{
	EngineVersions = new[] { "2021" },
};

AutoCADDesignAutomationService

IDesignAutomationService designAutomationService = new AutoCADDesignAutomationService("AppName")
{
	EngineVersions = new[] { "24" },
};

InventorDesignAutomationService

IDesignAutomationService designAutomationService = new InventorDesignAutomationService("AppName")
{
	EngineVersions = new[] { "2021" },
};

RevitDesignAutomationService

IDesignAutomationService designAutomationService = new RevitDesignAutomationService("AppName")
{
	EngineVersions = new[] { "2021" },
};

Initialize

Initialize AppBundle by creating and uploading the zip file to the Design Automation.

await designAutomationService.Initialize("Path/AppBundle.zip");

Run

Create the Activity and run the WorkItem and wait for the result, use the Parameters class to define the parameters of the Activity and WorkItem.

bool result = await designAutomationService.Run<Parameters>();

bool result = await designAutomationService.Run<Parameters>((parameters) => {});

Parameters parameters;
bool result = await designAutomationService.Run<Parameters>(parameters);

Delete

Delete all the resources created by the Initialize and Run. AppBundle and Activity gonna be deleted if exists.

await designAutomationService.Delete();

Parameters

The Parameters class is used to define the parameters of the Activity and WorkItem using the Attributes.

• ParameterInputAttribute - Define the input parameter of the Activity and WorkItem.
• ParameterOutputAttribute - Define the output parameter of the Activity and WorkItem.

ParameterInputAttribute

Base class ParameterActivityAttribute is used to update the Activity before send the request to the Design Automation API.

• ParameterActivityClearBundleAttribute - Clear the AppBundle before update the Activity.
• ParameterActivityInputArgumentAttribute - Define the input argument of the Activity.
• ParameterActivityInputAttribute - Define the input parameter of the Activity.
• ParameterActivityInputOpenAttribute - Define the input parameter of the Activity with Open file.
• ParameterActivityLanguageAttribute - Define the language of the Activity.
• ParameterActivityScriptAttribute - Define the script of the Activity.

ParameterWorkItemAttribute

Base class ParameterWorkItemAttribute is used to update the WorkItem before send the request to the Design Automation API.

• ParameterWorkItemTimeSecAttribute - Define the timeout of the WorkItem.
