# au2019-forge-revit-to-fbx

Demonstrates using the Forge Design Automation API for 3ds Max to convert Revit files to FBX. 

This project was cloned from the [Forge Design Automation API for 3ds Max](https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/design.automation.3dsmax-nodejs-basic).

# Setup

## Prerequisites

* Node.js 10 or later

## Running locally

1. Register for a Forge application at https://forge.autodesk.com/myapps/create#. You'll need the key and secret for building and running any sample apps

    * Choose *Design Automation API V3* and *Data Management API* for the APIs you want to use in your app.

### Setup Config file

Inside the /config folder you will see a file named ```default.json```.

2. Inside this file you will need to provide the following information:

```javascript

{

	"forge": {

		"clientId": "Setup your forge client id here",

		"clientSecret": "Setup your forge client secret here",

		"ossBucketName": "Choose a unique OSS bucket name where the inputs and output will be uploaded must be of the form [-_.a-z0-9]{3,128} "

	}

}

```

 

3. Open a command prompt in the repo's root folder and follow these steps: 

- Install the npm packages by running: 

	

	```

	npm install

	```

 

- Create your appBundle by running:

	

	```

	node createAndUploadApp.js

	```

- Create your activity by running:

	

	```

	node createActivity.js

	```

- Launch a workitem to convert your 3dsMax file to FBX:

	

	```

	node executeWorkitem.js C:/path/to/yourfile.rvt

	```

## Developer Notes

The code for performing the work done in 3ds Max to import Revit, convert materials, and export the FBX file is performed 

by a MAXScript script embedded in the handlebar template at: 

https://github.com/vimaec/au2019-forge-revit-to-fbx/blob/master/templates/payloads/postActivityExportToFBX.hbs.
