This sample does not includes the workflow of uploading models. It depends on other workflow samples to upload models, get model URN. Please follow Setup/Usage Instructions.

##Setup/Usage Instructions

You can work with production or staging Autodesk View and Data environments. By default, the project is setup with the production server.

With the production server, you got 2 options to setup and run this sample.

• The upload tool provides some existing models. Choose any one of them, or upload one of your own models with upload tool. The upload tool will generate a URN of the model that you need later.
• Copy this URN in /www/views/index.js at line #18
  

var urnprod = 'your_urn_here';

• In /www/views/index.js, at line #36, change value of tokenurl to the access token you can generate from 'http://still-spire-1606.herokuapp.com/api/rawtoken'
• Run the server from the Node.js console, by running the follwing command:
  

node server.js

• Connect to server locally using a WebGL-compatible browser: http://localhost:3000/node/basic

• Apply your own credentials from http://developer.autodesk.com
• Replace the place holder with your own keys in credentials.js, line #23 and #25
  

credentials.ClientId = '<replace with clientId>';
credentials.ClientSecret = '<replace with clientSecret>';

• Upload one of your model in your account and get its URN using other workflow sample,for example, this workflow sample in .net winform application if you are using windows or this workflow sample in Mac OS Swift if you are using Mac.
• Copy this URN in /www/views/index.js at line #18
  

var urnprod = 'your_urn_here';

• Run the server from the Node.js console, by running the follwing command:
  

node server.js

• Connect to server locally using a WebGL-compatible browser: http://localhost:3000/node/basic

• Apply your own credentials from http://developer-stg.autodesk.com
• Replace the place holder with your own keys in credentials-stg.js, line #23 and #25
  

credentials.ClientId = '<replace with clientId>';
credentials.ClientSecret = '<replace with clientSecret>';

• Upload one of your model in your account and get its URN using other workflow sample,for example, this workflow sample in .net winform application if you are using windows or this workflow sample in Mac OS Swift if you are using Mac. But please use staging URL to proceed with the workflows.
• Copy this URN in /www/views/index.js at line #19
  

var urnstg = 'your_urn_here';

• In /www/views/index.js, around line #24, make sure the variable staging is true.
• In /www/views/index.html (line $33 and #34), use viewer3D.min.js and style.css from the staging environment
