# Description
This sample demonstrates the following features:
- List parameters from ACC Account using [Parameters API](https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/parameters/v1/overview/introduction/)
- Add selected parameters from ACC Account to Revit project using [Revit API](https://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2025/ENU/?guid=Revit_API_Revit_API_Developers_Guide_Basic_Interaction_with_Revit_Elements_Parameters_Shared_Parameters_html)

# Setup
## Prerequisites
- [APS credentials](https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/oauth/v2/tutorials/create-app)
- [Visual Studio Community 2022](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/) or [.NET 8](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0)
- Terminal (for example, [Windows Command Prompt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmd.exe)
or [macOS Terminal](https://support.apple.com/guide/terminal/welcome/mac)) if you don't have Visual Studio
## Running locally
If you have Visual Studio Community 2022 installed
- Clone this repository
- Build and run the project
If you do not have it installed
- Clone this repository
- Install dependencies: `dotnet restore`
- Setup environment variables in the appsettings.json File:
- `ClientId` - your APS application client ID
- `ClientSecret` - your APS application client secret
- Run the project: `dotnet run`
Currently the addin uses `http://localhost:3000/api/aps/callback/oauth` as the callback. This callback should also be added at your application Callback URL in the General Settings section of your [APS Application](https://aps.autodesk.com/myapps/). The port can be changed to whatever port you wish by adding an environment variable "PORT".
Follow the `Demonstration` section above to play with addin.
# Further Reading
## Tips & Tricks
- If you run the application and encounter an exception saying assembly `Autodesk.Forge` cannot be loaded, you can solve this by copying the assembly (together with dependencies) to the roaming folder of your Revit plugin.
- Before running the plugin, we need be able to communicate with 3 legged token callback over HTTP and HTTPS. At a minimum, you want to configure a URL registration and add a Firewall exception for the URL your service will be using. You can configure these settings with the Netsh.exe tool as follows:
```powershell
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:3000/api/aps/callback/oauth/ user=DOMAIN\user
```
- Please refer to [Configuring HTTP and HTTPS](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wcf/feature-details/configuring-http-and-https?redirectedfrom=MSDN) for details.
## Troubleshooting
- Access denied: If you get access denied error when running the addin authentication, please run Visual Studio in Administrator mode to get 3 legged authentication working
