Autodesk Assemble: Condition and Connect BIM Data

What Is Autodesk Assemble?

Autodesk Assemble is BIM data management software that helps construction, BIM, and VDC teams turn design models into construction-ready data. Teams condition, organize, and enrich model data, then use it for design review, quantity takeoff, change management, scheduling, and field progress tracking, all in the cloud and without needing the CAD and BIM authoring tool.

Assemble was originally developed by Assemble Systems, which Autodesk acquired. Today it's part of Autodesk Forma and is sold in the Forma for Model Management bundle.

How Teams Use Assemble

Make Design Models Construction-Ready

Group, sort, and organize model elements, then add metadata such as bid package, location, phase, WBS, or work activity code. A conditioned model is the starting point for every workflow below.

Run Data-Driven Design Reviews

Give owners, designers, and trade partners access to the same model in a browser, so review meetings focus on scope and decisions instead of hunting for information.

Pull BIM Quantity Takeoffs

Quantify the full project inventory by your own parameters, by floor, area, trade, or bid package, and export quantities for estimating.

Track Changes Between Design Versions

Compare model versions to see exactly what was added, removed, or changed, and how quantities moved, before it hits the budget or schedule.

Track Work in Place

Share pre-filtered model views with field teams, let them mark objects as installed, and get a visual progress report tied directly to project quantities.

Assemble Integrations

• Revit and Forma Data Management: publish Revit models to Assemble directly from Forma Data Management.
• BuildingConnected: export quantities from Assemble into BuildingConnected bid forms.
• Oracle Primavera P6: connect P6 WBS and activities to your model to link schedule and scope.
• Microsoft Power BI: build interactive reports and dashboards from Assemble project data.

How to Get Autodesk Assemble
