Overview

About

Maintained by Paul GovanCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

An interface to the 'AutoDesk' Platform Services ('APS') 'API' including the Authentication 'API' for obtaining 'OAuth2' tokens with expiry tracking, Data Management 'API' for managing buckets and objects across the platform's cloud services, Design Automation 'API' for running automated tasks on design files in the cloud, Model Derivative 'API' for translating design files into 'SVF', 'SVF2', 'OBJ', and 'STL' formats and extracting model data, Reality Capture 'API' for generating 3D models from photogrammetry image sets, and Viewer for rendering 2D and 3D models in 'Shiny' applications.

Changes in 0.5.0

New Functions

autodeskr_mcp_tools() — expose all AutoDeskR API functions to AI models via the Model Context Protocol (MCP); credentials are read from environment variables so no token argument is required. Requires ellmer and mcptools.
waitForPhotoscene() — poll checkPhotoscene() until a Reality Capture photoscene processing job completes.

Infrastructure

pkgdown site added and deployed to GitHub Pages at <https://paulgovan.github.io/AutoDeskR/> via a new GitHub Actions workflow.
inst/CITATION updated to reference the current companion book at <https://paulgovan.github.io/AutoDeskR-Book/>.
ellmer and mcptools added to Suggests.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("AutoDeskR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("paulgovan/AutoDeskR")

Development version from paulgovan/AutoDeskR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-autodeskr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-AutoDeskR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-AutoDeskR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
