Autodesk Construction Cloud - Model Properties API.
I'm trying to index and query uploaded Navisworks model. The model size is 241Mb.
When trying to index the properties the indexing fails as follows:
"indexes": [
{
...
"type": "INDEX",
"state": "FAILED",
...
"errors": [
{
"type": "RuntimeError",
"title": "OutOfMemoryException",
"detail": "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown."
}
]
}
]
Does the indexing has a limit on Autodesk Backend?
What could be done in such case?
our customer try to show IFC model through method https://developer.api.autodesk.com/oss/v2/buckets/bucket_name/objects/model_name. IFC model is huge, about 100km, it is road design. He can't show it in Forge, he got error that model is empty, although it has 120MB. Model is in IFC4. Has You any documentation to supported IFC classes, or model size to show in FOrge ? He try to divide model to smaller parts, but nothing happen.

A few things to check:
Did you call the conversion job to translate the IFCs to SVF first? Using this endpoint here?
Is the conversion completed? Try here to query the progress.
And if everything works out the manifest response should contain SVF derivatives similar to:
{
"type": "manifest",
"hasThumbnail": "true",
"status": "success",
"progress": "complete",
"region": "US",
EDIT
For IFC models exported from Revit try switch to the IFC loader by specifying in your job payload:
{
"input": {
"urn": "dXJuOmFkc2sub2JqZWN0czpvcy5vYmplY3Q6c2JzYjIzMzMvc2JiLmlmYw"
},
"output": {
"formats": [
{
"type": "svf",
"views": ["3d", "2d"], "advanced": {
"switchLoader": true
}
}]
While I wanted to upload a json file in SAP Analytics Cloud in the Custom Widgets area, the following error message appears.
Do you know the reason for this error?
I think you have given either wrong data type in your JSON file or wrong value.
If you have provided datatype as number then give integer value.
"value": {
"type": "number",
"description": "Gauge value",
"default": 0
}
If you have given your datatype as string then give string value.
"info": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Gauge info",
"default": ""
}
I think this will solve your issue.
When using GET projects/:project_id/folders/:folder_id/search, Forge Data Management API on a model with a deleted last version, is there a any information in the "attributes" or other returned data that indicates the file is deleted?
Currently, a second call to GET projects/:project_id/items/:item_id/versions is used to determine if the latest version is deleted (below) but it would be preferable to not call another request to get this information.
Returned JSON from /versions (with some data removed):
"data": [{
"type": "versions",
"id": "urn:adsk.wipprod:fs.file:vf.w0cwXPUwQziKIHtKBtYRaA?version=3",
"attributes": {
"versionNumber": 3,
"extension": {
"type": "versions:autodesk.core:Deleted",
"version": "1.0",
"schema": {
"href": "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/schema/v1/versions/versions:autodesk.core:Deleted-1.0"
},
"data": {
"originalName": "**.rvt"
}
}
}]
The json attribute.hidden = true seems to indicate deleted. This can be accessed via the filter[hidden] = true. I'm closing this as the correct answer.
We have a requirement from one of our clients to access the project files that are stored in the BIM360 Design (old Collaboration for Revit - C4R). I can not find any information in the developer pages of the Forge APIs that points to this location. I assume such an API is not part of Forge, but we were wondering if there is any other API that can provide those files.
The exact requirements are:
Constantly monitor for changes on the files located there.
When changes occur, retrieve and backup all those files to a local machine.
The question is, how, if possible, can we access the project files located at the BIM360 Design cloud?
UPDATE (10/04/2018)
We have found these commands - specifically PublishModel and GetPublishModelJob. This does something, we can at the very least prompt the publication on demand, without the need for Revit. It is not clear to me when the items:autodesk.bim360:C4RModel pseudo-file is created. On top of that, the API does not appear to be able to receive a prefered output folder, which makes it really cumbersome to work for the intended purpose of backing up the information inside BIM360 Design.
UPDATE (25/04/2018)
We have tried using both commands (PublishJob and GetPublishModelJob). We have impersonated a Project Admin (via the x-user-id) but Forge is returning a 401 error (which is not even documented). The following (with a redacted documentID) is what we have tried:
{
"jsonapi": {
"version": "1.0"
},
"data": {
"type": "commands",
"attributes": {
"extension": {
"type": "commands:autodesk.bim360:C4RModelGetPublishJob",
"version": "1.0.0"
}
},
"relationships": {
"resources": {
"data": [ { "type": "items", "id": "<document_id>" } ]
}
}
}
}
And this is Forge's response:
{
"jsonapi": {
"version": "1.0"
},
"errors": [
{
"id": "a4547153-1fd4-4710-b0d1-a7184d9e7e22",
"status": "401",
"code": "C4R",
"detail": "Failed to get publish model job"
}
]
}
Any thoughts?
After discussing with #tfrascaroli in Forge Help channel, we found the root cause of this error is caused by the incorrect value of x-user-id, so he didn't have the right permission to push the latest version of the C4R model to BIM360 docs.
{
"jsonapi": {
"version": "1.0"
},
"errors": [
{
"id": "a4547153-1fd4-4710-b0d1-a7184d9e7e22",
"status": "401",
"code": "C4R",
"detail": "Failed to get publish model job"
}
]
}
The x-user-id is not a GUID and not the id we saw in the response of GET users or GET users/:user_id, it should be the value of the uid. After replacing the x-user-id value by the uid, the error doesn't show up again.

Do you have an access right to the workshared Revit file? Publish command is to publish workshared central model in the cloud to Docs. To use it, you need an access to Revit model in the central in the cloud. Forge Publish command does the same thing as publish command in Revit desktop. You need the same access right. To use cloud workshared feature, first you need to have Design license assigned to you, then you also need to be a member a Revit project. Being invited to Docs is not enough.
(As C4R/Design was merged to Docs recently, this C4R specific license part was intentionally kept the same as previous licensing. We also have Team for earlier versions. It makes it a bit complicated. I hope it will be easier as we move forward in future.)
