Customizing BIM Automation JOB

BIM Automation JOB can be customized. Users can add new materials and BIM templates to be used on BIM Automation command.
To do that, the default files folder from ARES Commander needs to be replaced on the environment so it will overwrite the original files from CLI server.

Preparing the enviroment:
1. Unpack the ZIP file from the environment
2. Find the support folder, find BIM/Scripts and replace material_map.json to update the materials.
3. Find BIM/Scripts/Templates and add you custom templates for BIM. Also add this file to templates\bimautotemplates folder on the environment zip file.
4. Zip the file.
Update the configuration string
1. On scriptvariables, "name": "BIM_input", update the value with the name of your BIM file (RVT or IFC)
2. On scriptvariables, "name": "BIM_AUTO_TEMPLATE", update the value with the name of you BIM template file.
3. Make sure "support":, "defaultfiles":, "folder": contains location of the customized default files folder with the relative path from the Environment ZIP file.

Execute the JOB using this procedure ARES CLI - Execute bim2pdf Jobs via API .
