Blacksmith

Blacksmith is a web-based application that integrates with BIM 360, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Data Management APIs from Autodesk Platform Services (APS). The app offers advanced tools for managing project-related data and streamlining workflows. Key features include batch inviting users to multiple projects, setting folder permissions, and managing company and role assignments across all projects and folders.

Blacksmith can trigger tasks to run from webhook events or defined schedules [WIP], ensuring timely and efficient operations. There is a framework for running design automations on cloud models, offering advanced administration and automation for projects.

Organizations can run a dedicated cloud server, so they are not competing with other customers for resources.
