Phasing Demo

Proof-of-concept showing how Autodesk Platform Services can be used to build phasing/4D application.

Live demo: https://aps-phasing-poc.autodesk.io

Development

Prerequisites

• APS Credentials
• Node.js (we recommend the Long Term Support version)
• Terminal (for example, Windows Command Prompt or macOS Terminal)

Setup & Run

• Clone the repository
• Install dependencies: npm install
• Setup environment variables:
  • APS_CLIENT_ID - your APS application client ID
  • APS_CLIENT_SECRET - your APS application client secret
• Specify your sample model in ./public/main.js:
  • set DESIGN_URN to the URN of your model translated by the Model Derivative service
  • set DESIGN_GUID to the GUID of the specific view of the model you want to load into the viewer
  • set ACTIVITY_PROPERTY to the name of a property that's available on your design elements; the value of this property will be used to link the element to a specific activity/phase in the CSV file below
• Modify your sample activity/phase data in ./public/phasing.csv; each row should include the following 6 values:
  • Name of the activity (used to link this phase to individual design elements); note that there may be multiple rows with the same activity name
  • start date of the activity (in the form of MM/DD/YY)
  • duration of the activity (number of days)
  • end date of the activity (in the form of MM/DD/YY)
  • type of activity (Construct for construction, Demo for demolition, or Temp for temporary structures); design elements will be color-coded based on this value
  • activity description
• Run the server: npm start

When using Visual Studio Code, you can specify the env. variables listed above in a .env file in this folder, and run & debug the application directly from the editor.
