Autodesk Forma is an end-to-end, cloud-based, AI-native platform designed to connect the people, data, and workflows that shape the built environment. ACC (Autodesk Construction Cloud) is now part of Forma, with updated branding and product names. 


What is Autodesk Forma?

  • Autodesk Forma is a cloud-based AI software designed to empower architects, urban planners, and real estate developers to collaborate, analyze, and design real estate sites.
  • It enables users to create 3D massing models of sites and their surroundings using automatically sourced data sets such as maps, site boundaries, terrain, buildings, and infrastructure in less than 2 minutes.
  • The software provides accurate analyses for over 100 criteria including noise, wind, sun, and microclimate to test site proposals.
  • Forma streamlines early-stage planning and design workflows with intuitive tools and generative design capabilities.

Key Benefits and Features

  • Faster Feasibility Studies: Automatically sourced data and integrated analyses help deliver comprehensive feasibility studies in half the time.
  • Win More Projects: Forma helps firms increase activity and win competitions by providing compelling, data-driven proposals.
  • Better Design Outcomes: Use generative design to rapidly create and iterate different massing models, optimizing for density, living quality, and regulations.
  • Improved Collaboration: Cloud-based platform allows teams to collaborate in real-time on the same 3D model from anywhere.
  • Seamless Integration: Supports import/export of various BIM formats (OBJ, IFC, DXF, JSON, GeoJSON, etc.) and includes a "Send to Revit" add-in for high-fidelity data transfer.
  • Data Management: Provides a common data environment with document and version control, permissions, markup tools, and issue tracking to ensure all team members work with the latest information.


What’s Changed

  • Branding: ACC products are now branded as Forma:
    • Autodesk Docs → Forma Data Management
    • Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro → Forma Design Collaboration
    • Autodesk Build → Forma Build
    • Autodesk Takeoff → Forma Takeoff
    • Autodesk Estimate → Forma Estimate
  • UI Updates: Product logos, navigation, and admin roles reflect the Forma brand. ACC Mobile App is now called Forma.
  • No Workflow Disruption: No changes to workflows, data, licensing, logins, APIs, or integrations. All projects, members, and settings remain as is.

Strategic Vision

  • One Ecosystem: Forma unifies fragmented AECO workflows, enabling lifecycle continuity from planning through operations.
  • Data Backbone: Forma Data Management (formerly Autodesk Docs) is the common data environment (CDE) for all Forma projects.
  • Expanded Capabilities: Supports detailed building design, desktop-to-cloud integrations, and is powered by the AEC Data Model.
