• pip install -r requirements.txt
• npm i

Create a Forge App

• Create a new app at forge.autodesk.com and note the Client ID and Client Secret

Translate a Model

• Add a Revit model to the app/forge directory
• Update model_uploader.json with your credentials and the revit project name
• Make app/forge your current directory and run python forge_model_uploader.py -b -j model_uploader.json Note: you don't need the -b if you already have a bucket specified in model_uploader.json
• Record the resulting URN of the form: dXJuOm...

Running Locally

• In routes.py replace '[MODEL_ID]' with the URN from above
• Locally run your web server: flask run
• Navigating in your browser to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ you should now see your project
