I am working on a training a translation system using the Microsoft Custom Translator. However, I need to be able to share it with other members of my organization. How would I go about sharing a project with another member of my organization?
Thanks,
Tymoore Jamal
Currently, we do not support project sharing with other users. This is a feature we are working on and plan to ship when Custom Translator comes out of preview and is released.

just wonder if it's doable to have app w/ functions like discussion forum so every project member can discuss project related stuff? i don't think BIM 360 already have such function, does it?
any Forge sample w/ similar function will be greatly appreciated
You are correct - there is no "chat" or "discussion" functionality in BIM 360. Collaboration for Revit used to have "chat features". But it was dropped. I assume that the product team still have plenty of design/construction specific features to prioritize. If our partners can do, it will be wonderful. I don't think there is any samples.
I remember one partner who joined the accelerator, (last year?), who had a project to integrating his chat features with some of forge functionality.
Are you looking to develop yourself? Or potentially looking for integration partner? If the latter, I may be able to dig out old e-mails find out a contact for you.
Just 4fun, script for creating folders in BIM360 http://project4871511.tilda.ws/ U can download this JS and using in your Forge APP
I have found a plug-in to manually export schedules (rebar, production bom, material lists) from Revit models. However, our company is looking to automate this and take out the human required element of exporting these schedules.
I have not, so far, found a way in the Forge API (Revit Design Automation API) to access these schedules like a can with a custom plug in.
Is this support coming or is there a place to vote on this capability?
Thanks,
Chris
The Forge Design Automation API for Revit enables you to run the same .NET Revit API code as the Revit.exe executable on the Windows desktop. Therefore, you can probably convert the existing desktop add-in to run within the Forge environment. There is no missing capability, not additional support needed, and no need to vote for anything. The Building Coder has explored and documented how to migrate and convert existing desktop Revit API add-in code to run in the Forge design automation environment in the topic group on DA4R – Design Automation for Revit.
We have developed a add-in for excel with custom functions and the app is hosted on S3 bucket. When we test it from our end on both Excel Desktop and Excel Web (all browsers) we are able to see the custom functions available.
After publishing the add-in to Appsource during process of certification MS team has come back saying that the custom functions are not available once they have upload the add-in.
We are really stuck as we are not able to reproduce the scenario, thus blocking us from providing a fix to the problem.
Please help us if anyone has faced similar issue or redirect us how we can reach out to the team that has done the validation so that we can get additional information.
BIM 360 Team has a nice built-in commenting tool that tracks issues. Is it possible if we can use the exact same feature inside Forge Viewer API? (my question may sound convoluted because I'm not a software engineer..) For any one who doesn't know the feature, please see below article. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!
Yes, it is definitely possible. The Autodesk development teams make use of Forge web services to implement A360 features. You have access to the same web services. You may even be able to peruse and analyse their code in the JavaScript debugger to see how they implement the client side user interface on top of the server side web service. In this case, the web service being used is the Issues API. More on that topic here:

Gday.
I am familiar with writing code to access/edit a notebook stored at a directory using the Onenote Interop classes for Desktop versions of OneNote (2007, 2010, 2013)
Now that the OnenoteAPI is out for the cloud-based OneNote (Win RT OneNote, WinPhone OneNote, and etc) I am confused as to which to use.
I'm trying to build an app that uses Onenote to store some notes. The notes will generally be accessed from few locations in a city and perhaps some mobile computers. With the Interop method, I already have a solution for (literally) copying some notebooks onto the mobile computers before they go out, and upon their return merging them back.
However, I would like to use "the cloud" as a storage option rather than storing the notebooks in one central location typically accessed through a jungle of VPNs. This is because some customers would be happy with the cloud (and not having their own server) and others will be want to at least have a copy of the data, and use the cloud as a means to be more mobile.
Now, I haven't gone around implementing nor trying things out yet. I am seeking advice from people that may have done something similar. In particular, i'd like advice/hints/clues on how to:
Extract the notebook page content in a format from the OnenoteAPI that is compatible with the Interop. Similarly, push it back up to the OnenoteAPI from the Interop. Alternatively, can I somehow "export" a copy of the cloud Notebook and import it later?
Would expensive SharePoint help in some way? How about the free build-into-small-office-server version suffice?
Thank you Internets.
N.b. given the potential for confusion I will refer to the Win32-only OneNote API as "OneNote COM API" and the modern, web-based, and OneDrive-only REST API as the "OneNote REST API"
On #1: The HTML version of the OneNote pages we expose via the OneNote REST API does not have a 1:1 mapping to the OneNote Object Model that is exposed via the COM API; this makes interop between them difficult. Furthermore, neither of them are designed to support a full-fidelity sync experience – it's a tricky problem, and usually one where people are more than happy with the experience OneNote provides out-of-the-box.
On #2: SharePoint could solve your problem. When your users are in the office, OneNote would sync all of its changes to SharePoint and receive the deltas it missed while it was disconnected from the intranet. If clients desire mobility, you could open up SharePoint to web access. You can then build your app using the COM API against the desktop OneNote client and rely on OneNote itself to handle syncing.
The one caveat here is that not all SKUs of OneNote support accessing SharePoint notebooks; Win32 clients purchased as part of the Office suite can, as can any copy attached to an Office365 subscription, including Mac, iOS, and Android. To the best of my knowledge, Windows Phone does not have any such restriction.
Update for Peter. the OneNote cloud APIs now support Sharepoint Online as a storage endpoint.
This is a pretty old question, but if someone is reading it I can add this:
OneNote + OneDrive does an EXCELLENT job of synchronizing a notebook that is opened on multiple devices, including PCs and phones.
My recommended solution for #Peter pete is to migrate his old COM OneNote to OneDrive.
