Ingest a 3D model from a public URL into APS OSS and kick off a Model Derivative translation job, returning the URN plus a browser viewer link and QR code. Supports 50+ formats: Revit (.rvt/.rfa), Navisworks (.nwd/.nwc), IFC, FBX, OBJ, SolidWorks, point clouds (E57/LAS/RCP), CAD (DWG/STEP/IGES), etc.
When to use: you have a publicly downloadable 3D file (S3 presigned URL, GitHub raw, etc.) and need it translated to SVF2 so it can be viewed, measured, or clash-checked via other tools.
When NOT to use: the file is only on a local disk or behind auth (fetch will fail) — first push it to a public URL. Do not call to re-translate a model already uploaded; call get_model_metadata instead.
APS scopes: data:read data:write data:create bucket:read bucket:create viewables:read
Rate limits: APS default ~50 req/min per app per endpoint; Model Derivative translation jobs ~60 req/min; OSS uploads size-limited per file to 100MB for direct upload, larger via resumable.
Errors: 401 APS token expired/invalid — refresh; 403 scope or resource permission denied; 404 source file_url not reachable or bucket not found — check the ID; 409 bucket name conflict (bucket already owned by another app — pick a unique bucketKey); 429 rate limited — backoff and retry; 5xx APS upstream outage — retry with jitter.
Side effects: NON-IDEMPOTENT. Creates the scanbim-models bucket if absent, uploads a new OSS object with a timestamped key (each call creates a distinct object even for the same input), submits a Model Derivative job (x-ads-force=true overwrites prior derivatives for the same URN), and inserts a row into D1 usage_log + models table.
