Related to this 2-year-old question: BIM 360 Project creation template
Is there still not a way to replicate the Web UI option "Activate Document Management" -> "Apply a project template" that duplicates folder structure and role-based permissions?
Specifically, I'm looking at requests to create a project
POST projects https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/projects-POST/ supplying a template_project_id value
and then activate with
POST users/import v2 https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/projects-project_id-users-import-POST/
I don't see any other template input in the API documentation besides the first request, and that does not appear to bring folder structure along.
unfortunately, what you found is correct currently, creating a project from a template with folder structure and role permission is not supported with current API, but you can achieve that by yourself as shown in a sample project at https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/forge-bim360.project.setup.tool.
This is actually a high requested wish HQ-5023 as you can see at https://fieldofviewblog.wordpress.com/2019/06/15/bim-360-acc-api-known-issues-and-wishes/#more-4424 , our engineering is actively working on that, we will update you at our blog if any progress.
Based on reading the documentation, and running some tests, this appears to be unavailable still. I would very much like to be proven incorrect by someone at Autodesk! Thanks.

I have created a web application for viewing models using the AutoDesk Forge Viewer, and I want to be able to add this onto a website. I used this tutorial: https://learnforge.autodesk.io/#/tutorials/viewmodels (using node.js for the language option).
The goal is to have the user access the viewer application from the website. I have been using VS code live server for testing. However, when I link the page that has the viewer into my own website, the viewer does not load the buckets or allow for creation of new buckets. It is just stuck on a loading symbol like below:
[Loading screen][1]
Could I please have the following questions answered:
What is the proper way to embed this application onto a website in the manner I have described above?
What part of the code controls where the buckets are loaded in?
Thank You.

LearnForge tutorial is an example on how to work with Forge API. As a web app, it depends on how the developer(you) designs the user interface, workflow, and data management.
e.g. you can remove the panel of bucket & object lists ,keeping the viewer only in the UI. while you will need to design how to provide the object id (urn) which will be loaded in the viewer. Normally, you would need to setup your own users management, logging process etc, and set your own user permission. Then the user logs in, the web app lists all files (objects) he has permission to check, and when one file is selected, get the urn and load the model in Forge Viewer.
if the end user of your app is BIM360 users, you could take advantage of BIM360 data management workflow, which follows the same permission specified with BIM360. Then the other tutorial will be a good start.
https://learnforge.autodesk.io/#/tutorials/viewhubmodels
In any case, the workflow and UI are defined by yourself. I hope this explains. If you have any further questions that need a meeting call, please feel free to check the calendar of our team:

I've been following this tutorial to successfully upload Revit & AutoCad files to Bim360 Docs using 2-legged tokens. I am also using the 'x-user-id' header.
The problem I'm having is after the model is published to Bim360 docs, it’s not viewable in the browser and derivatives are empty (see below). It appears that the model translation job never occurs. Isn’t this supposed to happen automatically for Bim360 Docs files? Could the 2-legged token be hindering this process? Is there another step I'm missing?
I've even tried to manually kick off a translation job after uploading the file by calling this API with NO success.
This image is the result of calling the manifest API.

Thank you for reporting it to us. Our engineering team is investigating the problem. But you should see the progress status 100% now, please haveing a try, thanks!
is it possible to transfer files/folders "Hub A" to "Hub B"? Let's say we use Hub A (and C4R) for prototyping purposes, and every month we have to download this prototypes, which is problematic because either the download does not have a directory structure or BIM 360 just never finishes "compressing your items". After downloading and matching the folder structure, we upload this files again to Hub B every time there is a major update to the prototypes.
There is a way to copy files using BIM 360 UI, but just within the same hub.
I would appreciate some guidance here. I've just done some step by step tutorials to get the viewer on my website, so I do not have much experience.
Thanks,
Xavier
Since you ask this question with “Forge Data Management API” tag, so I assume you want to implement the way to achieve that by API.
With the current Data Management API, there is not an easy API to do that directly, but if you want to transfer files/folders from "Hub A" to "Hub B", you can always check & download all the files/folder from "Hub A", and then upload them to "Hub B". There are many details you may need to handle, for example, when the file you want to upload is already there, you can either create a new version or just override it.
We have some similar samples may help you to understand or get started with if you are interested. For example, https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/data.management-nodejs-integration.box , this is used to exchange files between "Autodesk Hub" and "Box", you can download and check. Also, https://github.com/Developer-Autodesk/data.management-csharp-a360sync , this sample is used to sync the files from local to your A360 account, it's a C# desktop application and is still working in progress as mentioned in README, but, you can get the idea from sample/code anyway.
Hope it helps.
I am attempting to publish a simple Google Docs add-on, following these instructions: Publishing an Add-on
However when completing the configuration for Google Apps Marketplace SDK, I enter my script project key (found from file --> project properties) and receive the following error: 'Project Key is not associated with the current project.'
Only instance where I can find someone with the same problem (here) occurred when they created a project on the Google Developers Console instead of going through resources --> Advanced Google Services. This is not the reason for my error, can anyone shred any light onto my problem?
Any help would be gratefully received,
Connor
Kept trying, did not change the way I tried publishing nor the project key I was entering and it worked after so many retries. Wish I could give a more detailed answer...
I was able to fix by combining two successful responses from this post:
use version number, and only the number, e.g. "1" -- Do not use "v1.0" or "Version 1 on Oct 1, 6:10 AM" or your deployment's Description
After completing step 1, delete your entry in field 'Docs Add-On Project Script ID', then re-enter it -- the page seems to not re-evaluate your changes unless you do this; I had tried saving multiple times before doing this with no success using the correct version number and script ID.
For me I need to go Publish->Deploy as API. Select the correct version and then the publish screen worked
I needed to include a correct version number (1,2,3,4; not "v0.1") in addition to the script ID. The error suggested my script ID was wrong, but the error went away when I picked a valid version number.
For me, the Google App Script file needed to be associated with the project.
In the GAS, go to Resources > Cloud Platform Project.
Under Change Project, enter the project number (which can be found on the home page of the Google Cloud Platform Project in the Project info module), and click Set Project.
Confirm the notices (though make sure that is really what you want to do).
Once it has been set, go back to the App Configuration, and re-enter the information (if you are already on that page, refresh).
That's what worked for me, but maybe other developers get that error for other reasons.

Hmm I had issues as well. It didn't work with version 1 in "Docs Add-on script version" but while I tried a bunch of stuff I ended up deploying again and then I incremented version to "2" and then it worked.
I got the same error today, I made it finally work. I will go through the fields I checked.
App Integration [I'm deploying using deployment ID, you can get the ID from AppScript manage deployment]
Choose which workspace you are releasing [In my case Sheets], type the version from AppScript.
Enter all other general Credentials and save.
The above steps worked for me.
Try to use the Google Workspace Add On and enter the App Script Deployment ID. That accepted for me and showed it as a Sheets Add-On
It's different in deploy or test in legacy editor and new editor.
And I'm using legacy editor before
(because some following steps from documents is not work in new editor),
So when I lookup Mange deployment in new editor,
It wasn't exisisted,
And the deployment ID it's not work when I fill out App configuration in Google Workspace Market.
For me I just change to following the Legacy editor's following steps
https://developers.google.com/workspace/marketplace/enable-configure-sdk#legacy-editor_2
and It works.
Looks like it is not possible to change scriptId after a round of review. So you can just update only version. I changed to last number of deployment version like '6' and it is saved.
I built some widgets and uploaded on my local marketplace, is there a way to share that?
And better is it possible to share a Mashup (the widget composition) without giving the
possibility to wiring to the user?
I mean the user should use an application layout without change anything.
You can make public your workspaces/dashboards following the steps documented in the user guide. Only the owner of a workspace will be able to modify it. I think this is what are you searching for.
Another option is to create a packaged mashup using the "Upload to my resources" option in the editor view:
Take a look to the "Advanced" tab, where you can block widgets (make them unremovable), block connections (make wiring connections unremovable) and embed used widgets/operator (by default packaged mashups depends on the user having installed all the required widgets/operators. This way you can distribute the widgets and operators used by the mashup in the same package).
However, take into account that this method is meant for sharing mashup templates, the user will always be able to add additional widgets and create new connections in the wiring view.
Once packaged, mashups/dashboards (and widgets and operators) can be uploaded to a WStore server (e.g. to the Store portal provided on FIWARE Lab) for sharing them with other users. The steps for making this is also described in the WireCloud's user guide.
I have the problem, revisited.
I have set up a working Marketplace instance (v2.3) but am unable to integrate it with Wirecloud. The marketplace is correctly registered but all the requests i am making to this Marketplace are throwing 502 error, even though i am actually able to see some results when querying the Marketplace server through a browser.
Indicatively, i can issue a GET command at http://:8080/FiwareMarketplace/v1/registration/stores/ and get an answer, but Wirecloud's internal APIs return a 502 (Bad Gateway).
Any idea on what might have gone wrong?
PS: This happens for WC v0.6.5. When upgrading to a newer (Beta) version of WC, everything seems to be performing as expected, i.e. the marketplace is correctly inserted and the stores are correctly retrieved and processed.
