    Description

    This session will investigate how Autodesk Forma software can support transportation-focused projects through its out-of-the-box capabilities, including site analysis, massing, and analysis. The session will explore the integration potential of Forma with geographic information system (GIS) and Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data. We’ll test interoperability with tools like Dynamo and Grasshopper, and also evaluate the possibility of extending Forma software’s functionality through custom extensions.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to use the native Autodesk Forma features for early-stage, transport-oriented planning and environmental analysis.
    • Learn how to import and contextualize GIS and IFC data sets to inform infrastructure layouts and site constraints.
    • Explore connectivity with Dynamo and Grasshopper for design automation and custom workflows.
    • Explore and assess pathways to develop custom Forma extensions that enhance functionality specific to transportation needs.
