    ご注意：View and Data API は2016年6月に Viewer と  Model Derivative API に分離、及び、名称変更されました。 サンフランシスコのフェリーターミナル近くには、埠頭が幾つか存在しています。オートデスクは、第9埠頭にあたる場所にワークショップを持っています。  通称、Pier 9 と呼ばれているこのワークショップは、3D プリンタや CNC 工作機械、レーザーカッターやウォータージェット カッターなど、オートデスク製品でデザインされたモノを製作する場として利用されています。いわば、The Future Of Making Things を実証するための工房です。 折りしも、Industry 4.0/インダストリー 4.0 に注目が集まる中、Pier 9 に設置された工作機械に IoT （Internet Of Things）デバイスを設置して、監視するアイデアが実現されています。使用されているセンサーは Texas Instruments  社の CC2650STK というセンサータグで、光、デジタル・マイク、磁気センサ、湿度、圧力、加速度計、ジャイロスコープ、磁力計、物体の温度、周囲温度の検出が可能な 10 個のセンサーが搭載されていて、たったの$ 29（米ドル）です。 Revit デモでリングされた Pier 9 建屋の 3D モデルは、当然、社内で入手できるので、View and Data API でストリーミング配信してWeb ブラウザで表示させることが可能です。また、CC2650STK というセンサーから入手したリアルタイムデータを、Google Visualization API で定義したゲージを使って表示する実装が施されています。    さて、実際のサイトは Pier…

    I've written about using MFC from a C++ Fusion add-in. You could also use .NET from your add-in, and it's even simpler to set up. 1) Create a C++ add-in inside the "Scripts and Add-Ins" Fusion dialog: I'm leaving "Run on Startup" option above unchecked, because it would not be a good idea to pop up a modal dialog while Fusion is…

    中文链接 By Aaron Lu Connector Element of some fitting family has a parameter named “Radius”, to change its value, we may write code like this: connectorElement.Radius = 0.041; But Radius property is read-only, so it can not be compiled or even it can be, exception will be thrown when running it. Another way is using…
