I need information about CSV data Adapter in Autodesk forge. Unfortunately, this information was deleted from the main page (https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/dataviz/v1/developers_guide/overview/).
Would you please guide me, on how I can find information about CSV data Adapter again?
A few weeks ago:
New page: (https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/dataviz/v1/developers_guide/overview/)
The original DataViz tutorials and reference application did not turn out as we were hoping so we're in the process of rebuilding them. We have a new DataViz/IoT demo app available here: https://aps-iot-extensions-demo.autodesk.io (source code: https://github.com/autodesk-platform-services/aps-iot-extensions-demo), and we're planning to add a new DataViz tutorial to https://aps.autodesk.com/tutorials in early 2023. Please stay tuned!

Good day dear developers, I really need your help. I want to make an app in Xamarin. In which I added some text data, and it is saved in this application. I need this information to be in the application, and I could get it without the Internet. I understand that you need to use JSON. I really want you to at least give a little hint on how I can store information using JSON in my Xamarin application. Thanks a lot!)
I tried to find information on Google, but there is a lot of superfluous and inappropriate
Depending on your data an easy way could be to use Preferences from Xamarin.Essentials which allows you to store key/value pairs: link to description
Another option would be to save files with JSON as you mentioned already. You create a class which holds your data and then serialize/deserialze the objects to files and from files. For this you can use the Newtonsoft.Json which is a nuget package that you can install.
If you have a MyData class and an data object it would look like this:
Serialize:
File.WriteAllText("fileName", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data));
Deserialze:
var myData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyData>(File.ReadAllText("fileName"));
Different platforms has their own file system. For example, iOS limits our access to the file system, which is called Application sandbox. To save or load files, you could learn some basic info first:
for iOS, refer to File system access in Xamarin.iOS.
for Android, refer to File Storage and Access with Xamarin.Android
Xamarin forms provides several ways to use Xamarin forms local data storage. First is use File Handling just as Mario K mentioned. For Serializing JSON, you could refer to Serializing JSON.
Another is that you could use SQLite database engine which allows Xamarin.Forms applications to load and save data objects in shared code. More info, you could refer to Xamarin.Forms Local Databases.
I think you could first check these documentation and decide which method you prefer to use. If you still have questions, feel free to ask.
Hope it works for you.
I am trying to complete a full runthrough of the Forge API for an inventor model. We have succesfully managed to submit the workitem which does everything it needs to do based on our personalised appbundles and activities.
The issue is when the new model is trying to be loaded in the viewer with the URN for the SVF which is in the newly created output bucket.
I am getting a translation error and I cannot figure out where the error is coming from or how to fix it.
Is the translation not automatically completed when the SVF is created for export, which is the point of using this activity i thought?
Is it the CreateSVF activity which is not zipping it correctly?
Any suggestions from anyone on where to look if this is an obvious one, can't find the same error online.
TIA.
There is some weird thing Inventor is doing in exported SVF for use in ForgeViewer. It looks like bubble.json is not at the level it is needed to have it. You can see how we are doing the export in our demo application. After export done by Inventor, we move bubble.json to different place. See https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/forge-configurator-inventor/blob/master/AppBundles/CreateSVFPlugin/CreateSvfAutomation.cs#L101
instead of using Model Derivative, is it possible to get file in SVF format directly from BIM360 model which has already been converted to SVF or SVF2 format? I mean not using MD service at all, thanks.
To download SVF dataset (no matter from your own bucket, or from BIM360), you need to use Forge Derivative API to get manifest (GET:manifest) info and metadata (GET:Metadata) info. The info will tell the relative cloud path of the *.svf, while *.svf stores the index of the dataset. Then download them one by one.
We have a few code that demo how to download SVF data to local. The most updated one I would recommend is my colleague Petr composed:
https://github.com/petrbroz/forge-convert-utils
It targets to convert SVF to glTF, but it has quite a few granule modules, one of which can download SVF data.
you could perform a simple test:
download the source code of the tool
run npm install
run npm run-script build
export your Forge client id and secret to env
run node samples/download-svf.js <your model urn of BIM360> <local path>
It will start the process to get manifest and download the SVF data one by one to local. This is a screenshot with my test. If you work with js, typescript, you could merge the module to your workflow.
In the context of BIM360, the uploaded models will be translated to SVF(s) automatically. So you can get the metadata, properties or load in Forge Viewer directly. This is a tutorial on how to work with BIM360 hub/project/folders/item/versions, in which no specific step to translate models.
https://learnforge.autodesk.io/#/tutorials/viewhubmodels
Pease note: this encourages the programmers, solution builders to provide extensible abilities for the end users of BIM360, adding more values for them. It does not mean to be an alterative to bypass model derivative when the solution is not for BIM360 users.
I have created a SSIS package that reads from a CSV file (using the Flat file connection manager) and loads records into a database. I have deployed it on Azure data factory pipeline and I need to give the path of the CSV file as a parameter. I have created a azure storage account and uploaded the source file there as shown below.
Can I just give the URL of the source file for the Import file in the SSIS package settings as shown below? I tried it but it is currently throwing 2906 error. I am new to Azure - appreciate any help here.
First, you said Excel and then you said CSV. Those are two different formats. But since you mention the flat file connection manager, I'm going to assume you meant CSV. If not, let me know and I'll update my answer.
I think you will need to install the SSIS Feature Pack for Azure and use the Azure Storage Connection Manager. You can then use the Azure Blob Source in your data flow task (it supports CSV files). When you add the blob source, the GUI should help you create the new connection manager. There is a tutorial on MS SQL Tips that shows each step. It's a couple years old, but I don't think much has changed.
As a side thought, is there a reason you chose to use SSIS over native ADF V2? It does a nice job of copying data from blob storage to a database.
I have been playing around with the C# DerivativesApi and I'm able to get model view meta data and properties. But I cannot find the externalId value. Is it possible to get this value without lodiang a viewer?
If the original model is from Revit this value contains the GUID of the element and it would be very useful for me to have easy access to this value.
As of now (April 2017) this information is only available on Viewer. We're currently investigating to have this exposed. A workaround is to download the Viewer JSON and extract the information.
To add a little more precisions to what Augusto mentioned, you can use take a look at what extract server is doing in downloadBubble and perform the same without viewer interaction. Once you downloaded the resources, you will find a *.db or *.sdb file which is an SQL lite database from where you can read mappings from dbIds to externalIds.
Unfortunately we don't have a sample that illustrates that workflow.
Hope that helps
