# Setup

## Prerequisites

1. **BIM 360 Account**: must be Account Admin to add the app integration. [Learn about provisioning](https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/bim-360-docs-provisioning-forge-apps).

2. **Forge Account**: Learn how to create a Forge Account, activate subscription and create an app at [this tutorial](http://learnforge.autodesk.io/#/account/). 

3. **Visual Studio**: Either Community 2017+ (Windows) or Code (Windows, MacOS).

4. **.NET Core** basic knowledge with C#

5. **JavaScript** basic knowledge with **jQuery**

6. **Google Maps** API key for Maps

## Running locally

Clone this project or download it. It's recommended to install [GitHub desktop](https://desktop.github.com/). To clone it via command line, use the following (**Terminal** on MacOSX/Linux, **Git Shell** on Windows):

    git clone https://github.com/augustogoncalves/bim360-csharp-dashboard

**Visual Studio** (Windows):

Right-click on the project, then go to **Debug**. Adjust the settings as shown below. 

![](forgeSample/wwwroot/img/readme/visual_studio_settings.png)

**Visual Sutdio Code** (Windows, MacOS):

Open the folder, at the bottom-right, select **Yes** and **Restore**. This restores the packages (e.g. Autodesk.Forge) and creates the launch.json file. See *Tips & Tricks* for .NET Core on MacOS.

![](forgeSample/wwwroot/img/readme/visual_code_restore.png)

At the `.vscode\launch.json`, find the env vars and add your Forge Client ID, Secret and callback URL. Also define the `ASPNETCORE_URLS` variable. The end result should be as shown below:

```json

"env": {

    "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",

    "ASPNETCORE_URLS" : "http://localhost:3000",

    "FORGE_CLIENT_ID": "your id here",

    "FORGE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your secret here",

    "FORGE_CALLBACK_URL": "http://localhost:3000/api/forge/callback/oauth",

},

```

Run the app. Open `http://localhost:3000` to view your files. It may be required to **Enable my BIM 360 Account** (see app top-right). Click on 

## Deployment

To deploy this application to Heroku, the **Callback URL** for Forge must use your `.herokuapp.com` address. After clicking on the button below, at the Heroku Create New App page, set your Client ID, Secret and Callback URL for Forge.

### Tips & Tricks

This sample uses .NET Core and works fine on both Windows and MacOS, see [this tutorial for MacOS](https://github.com/augustogoncalves/dotnetcoreheroku).

### Troubleshooting

1. **Cannot see my BIM 360 projects**: Make sure to provision the Forge App Client ID within the BIM 360 Account, [learn more here](https://forge.autodesk.com/blog/bim-360-docs-provisioning-forge-apps). This requires the Account Admin permission.

2. **error setting certificate verify locations** error: may happen on Windows, use the following: `git config --global http.sslverify "false"`
