Getting Started

Server

In order to test Speckle in all its glory, you'll need a server running. You can run a local one by simply following the instructions in the Server Repo.

Accounts

The connector itself doesn't have features to manage your Speckle account - this functionality has been delegated to the Speckle Manager desktop app. After installing the alpha version, use the manager to add or create an account on the Server.

Debugging

After setting up dependencies, server and accounts you're good to go - almost there! After the first build, make sure to:

• Open the corresponding connector config folder (e.g., C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Organization)
• Copy the SpeckleMicroStation2.cfg located in the Connector folder to the Bentley confic folder

You can now start a Visual Studio's debug session for MicroStation, OpenRoad, OpenRail or OpenBuildings. This will launch the corresponding application for you, and the Speckle toolbar should be loaded!

Features

Supported elements will be added!
