There are a few steps that should be undertaken by a member of your team with information technology experience including setting up web integrations with Autodesk BIM 360 for ArcGIS GeoBIM for ArcGIS Enterprise (Beta).
Note:
ArcGIS GeoBIM for ArcGIS Enterprise (Beta) can only be accessed by ArcGIS GeoBIM Early Adopter Program customers.
The following are the key steps:
- Create a custom ArcGIS GeoBIM App in Autodesk Forge.
- Authorize the Autodesk Forge Platform for a BIM 360 app.
- Install ArcGIS GeoBIM for ArcGIS Enterprise (Beta).
Create an ArcGIS GeoBIM App in Autodesk Forge
Follow these steps to create ArcGIS GeoBIM App in Autodesk Forge.
- Sign in to the Autodesk Forge Developer Platform: https://forge.autodesk.com.
- Click Go To My Apps and click Create application.
- Type an app name of your choice and click Create.
- Select the required APIs from the API Access menu and provide the application information in the description text box.
- Replace the default callback URL (http://localhost:8080/) with the host and port
where you will be hosting the app.
In the following example, 'localhost:8080' was replaced in the http://localhost:8080/api/forge/callback/oauth URL with https://geobimqa.herokuapp.com (an example site on the Heroku website) leaving the end URL as https://geobimqa.herokuapp.com/api/forge/callback/oauth. If you don't have your site URL, you can return later and add it.
After creating the app, take note of the client ID and secret.
Authorize Forge Platform for a BIM 360 app
Follow the steps in Scenario 1—Provision Access for Your Own App in the Forge help.
Provide the Client ID created in the above step for the Forge Client ID in step 7.
Note:
Do not use Scenario 2 - Provision Access for a 3rd Party App in the Forge help.
Install ArcGIS GeoBIM for ArcGIS Enterprise (Beta)
Follow these steps to install ArcGIS GeoBIM for ArcGIS Enterprise.
- Access the ArcGIS GeoBIM installer file on the ArcGIS GeoBIM Early Adopter page.
Note:
The Early Adopter Program page can only be accessed by Early Adopter customers.
- Install Portal for ArcGIS 11.0 before you open the setup file.
- Download the installer to the portal machine that you want it to be installed on and double-click the Setup file.
- Click Yes on the Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device option.
- Click Finish on the dialog box that appears after the install is complete.

Note:
You need a Portal for ArcGIS account assigned to the publisher role to get the full functionality of ArcGIS GeoBIM.
After completing these steps and the geoprocessing service installation steps, you are ready to create an ArcGIS GeoBIM project.
