Autodesk Forma

Ready-to-use datasets – Autodesk Forma retrieves location-specific datasets, such as buildings, property boundaries, terrain, and infrastructure.

Tools for intelligent planning – Draw freely in 2D and 3D with dynamic tools that measure ground area and, most importantly, net floor area in real time as you draw.

Noise analysis – Address issues related to environmental noise and meet comfort goals and regulatory limits.

Wind analysis – Evaluate how your project area is affected by various wind-related effects, gaining insights into airflow patterns.

Solar panel analysis – Quickly assess whether your site can utilise solar energy for electricity generation.

Daylight analysis – Evaluate daylight at your site, including shading angles and vertical sky components.

Sunpath analysis – Analyse the number of sunlight hours on building facades and ground surfaces, considering surrounding structures and terrain.

Generative Design: Height calculations – Optimise the height distribution of buildings within defined limits to improve space usage and living conditions.

Generative Design: Site studies – Quickly generate and developmultiple site plans based on criteria such as footprint and height.

Parking planning and analysis – Autodesk Forma automatically populates a defined parking area with spaces and calculates parking coverage.

Import and export – Transfer your work to and from other software, including Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD, using IFC and OBJ formats.

Automatic area calculation – Easily calculate gross floor area, gross and net interior area, footprint, facade area, and external surface area.

Microclimate analysis – Quickly and accurately assess outdoor thermal comfort (UTCI).

Apartment generation – Rapidly generate apartments and define the desired sizes. Gain an overview of apartment distribution within your project.

Visualisation of differences – Quickly compare your proposals and visualise key differences in figures and statistics.

View analysis – Understand the viewing distances to facades and assess whether there are visual connections to relevant areas.

Building analysis – Get a quick overview of key metrics for the buildings on your site, such as total volume or average height.

Outdoor space analysis – Assess the quality of outdoor spaces, gaining insights into area size, noise levels, terrain slope, sunlight exposure, and spatial arrangements.

Real-time noise and sunlight – Instantly calculate noise levels and sunlight exposure with Autodesk Forma’s machine learning-powered productivity tool.
