Help with setup of Revit connector in Local Deployment

Hi everyone, I’m fairly new to Speckle and I’m attempting to set up a Revit Connector in my locally deployed Speckle server instance. I’ve cloned both the speckle-server and speckle-sharp-connectors repositories.

Using yarn dev works fine and I’m able to run on http://localhost:3033.

I’ve looked at the Local Development Environment | Speckle Docs, but I’m still unsure on how to set up the Revit connector.

Hi Sean,

From the log the Revit connector seems installed correctly - what’s not working and what would you like to do?

If the issue is authentication, this thread might be of help:

Hi Teocomi,

Thanks for your reply. The proxy setup helped with the authentication issue for frontend-1.

However, when I load the frontend-1 in dev mode, there is no login text box, as shown below.

I understand that there is frontend-2, but frontend-1’s UI is more suited to my needs. Is there a way for me to bypass this legacy login issue without pivoting to frontend-2?

Frontend 1 has been deprecated and is not supported anymore, what’s missing that you would want back in fe2?

Let us know, we might be able to help!

Hi teocomi sorry for the late reply. From some preliminary testing, when loading a Revit model, the UI portion for revit properties are more intuitively customisable in FE1. I really liked the the simple single column-like structure of the UI, where I can toggle my visual options easily. But ultimately these are very minute issues and since FE1 is deprecated, I can work with FE2!

In case you didn’t know, the Dev Mode can be quite helpful in FE2:
