A simple, generic assembly configurator built using the Autodesk Forge platform.

Live demo: https://forge-assembly-configurator.autodesk.io

• Node.js (LTS version is recommended)
• Forge application

• shared - basic CRUD operations on "templates" and "projects", used by the server and command-line tools
• plugins - an Inventor plugin used to assemble parts
• server - a simple Express.js server providing a web interface for the configurator
  • public - client side assets
  • routes - server side endpoints
• tools - helper scripts for bootstrapping the pipeline, creating sample templates, etc.
  • templates - a couple of design files (Inventor, SolidWorks, STEP) for sample templates

• install dependencies: yarn install
• setup env. variables listed in config.js
• if not available, create the Design Automation pipeline: node tools/setup-inventor-pipeline.js
• if not available, create a sample template: node tools/setup-sample-template-przemek.js
• run the server yarn start
• visit http://localhost:3000

When preparing your own 3D assets for this application, make sure that their origin is setup properly. When you are dropping a part into an assembly, the application logic will always try and find a "connector point" (on modules that are already in the assembly) that's closest to your mouse cursor, and it will move your part's origin to that location.
