architecture toolset

Site Context

Accelerate site setup using contextual geospatial data and convert proposals into geolocated Revit-ready projects.

3D Modelling in Forma Site Design

Create, test, and iterate massing concepts natively or import geometry from external design applications.

Environmental Analysis in Forma Site Design

Evaluate site performance directly within your massing model and support evidence-based design decisions using integrated analysis tools.

Forma Board

Compare proposals, add annotations, align project direction, and present concepts clearly while maintaining a live connection to project data.

Connect Forma Site Design with Your Existing Tools for Efficient Workflows

Forma Site Design integrates with leading AECO tools to support smooth data exchange, reduce rework, and maintain workflow continuity. Extend functionality further through third-party applications available via the Autodesk App Store.

Forma Building Design

Guide Design Development

Advance to schematic design by transferring proposals into Forma Building Design. Maintain connected data within the Forma Industry Cloud to minimise duplication and preserve design intent.

Revit

Transfer proposals directly into Revit as geolocated native models for continued documentation and BIM coordination.

Forma Data Management

Enhanced Design Review

Access Forma Data Management files and Revit Sheets directly within Forma Board to streamline interdisciplinary review processes.

Autodesk Forma

Unified Project Experience

Transition seamlessly between early planning and downstream construction workflows within a single connected cloud environment.

Dynamo

Intelligent Workflow Automation

Automate repetitive tasks using the Dynamo Player Extension to improve efficiency and reduce manual processes.

Rhino

Flexible Concept Modelling

Import geometry from Rhino into Forma Site Design for environmental evaluation using the Rhino-to-Forma extension.

Third-Party Integrations

Extend Capabilities

Enhance planning workflows with optional extensions ranging from GIS data to building envelope analysis, accessible through the Autodesk App Store.

Discover the power of Forma in the AEC Collection

The AEC Collection provides a cost-effective bundle of CAD, BIM, and cloud software for those who design, build, and make. Save big on Forma, Revit, AutoCAD, and more in the AEC Collection versus standalone.

Connect your BIM to data-driven design

Connect your design workflow from Forma to Revit and back again, from desktop to cloud.
