DESCRIPTION

In March 2026, Autodesk renamed Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) to Autodesk Forma. Autodesk Docs is now Forma Data Management, BIM Collaborate Pro is now Forma Design Collaboration, and Autodesk Build and Takeoff are now Forma Build and Forma Takeoff. The workflows are the same; the names changed.

This course focuses on how design and BIM teams deliver projects in the Forma common data environment: setting up hubs and projects, controlling documents, collaborating on Revit models in the cloud, coordinating multidisciplinary models, and tracking issues through to handover. It closes with an introduction to Forma Build and Forma Takeoff so you understand how your models and documents are used on site.

Note: this course does not cover Forma Site Design or Forma Building Design, which are Autodesk's early-stage design tools.

OBJECTIVES

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • 1. Explain the Autodesk Forma platform and map the former ACC product names to the current ones
  • 2. Set up hubs, projects, project templates, folder structures, roles, and permissions as a Hub Admin or Project Admin
  • 3. Upload, version, compare, mark up, and organize files in Forma Data Management, on the web and through Autodesk Desktop Connector
  • 4. Configure review, approval, and transmittal workflows for controlled document issue
  • 5. Initiate and manage Revit Cloud Worksharing models and link cloud models across disciplines
  • 6. Use Forma Design Collaboration teams and packages to share and consume design data in a controlled way
  • 7. Run Model Coordination: aggregate models, detect clashes, and turn clashes into tracked issues
  • 8. Create, assign, and close issues on the web and in the Forma mobile app
  • 9. Describe how Forma Build (RFIs, submittals, forms) and Forma Takeoff use the models and documents your team publishes
  • 10. Apply data governance, naming standards, and closeout practices, and report project status with dashboards

PREREQUISITES

Revit 1 - Fundamentals for All Disciplines and Revit 3 - Constructing, Sharing and Collaborating (or equivalent experience). Sessions 4 to 6 are Revit-based.

COURSE CONTENTS

  • Shared coordinates and publishing settings
  • Model health and common worksharing mistakes

05 - Forma Design Collaboration

  • Teams and team spaces for each discipline
  • Creating and sharing packages
  • Consuming packages from other teams
  • Reviewing changes between package versions
  • Exercise: multidisciplinary exchange between architecture and structure teams

06 - Model Coordination

  • Coordination spaces and model aggregation
  • Automatic clash detection and clash grouping
  • Creating issues from clashes; assignment and tracking
  • Views, sections, properties, and the model browser
  • Navisworks handoff (NWC/NWD) for advanced coordination

07 - Issues, Mobile & Construction Workflows (Introduction)

  • Issue types, lifecycle, and status workflows
  • Forma mobile app: viewing, markups, and issues on site
  • Forma Build overview: RFIs, submittals, forms, and daily logs
  • Forma Takeoff overview: 2D and 3D quantities from published models and sheets
  • What site teams need from the design team's data

08 - Governance, Reporting & Closeout

  • Data governance: naming, status, retention, and access reviews
  • Dashboards and reports for project status
  • Sharing data with external parties and across projects
  • Project closeout and handover packages
  • Final project: set up, coordinate, and close out a small project

Next Steps

  • Advanced coordination with Navisworks
  • ISO 19650 information management in a common data environment
  • Forma Site Design and Forma Building Design for early-stage design (separate tools)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Autodesk Forma the same as Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)?

Yes. In March 2026 Autodesk renamed Autodesk Construction Cloud to Autodesk Forma. Autodesk Docs became Forma Data Management, BIM Collaborate Pro became Forma Design Collaboration, and Autodesk Build and Takeoff became Forma Build and Forma Takeoff. The workflows taught in this course are the same; only the product names changed.

Does this course cover Forma Site Design or Forma Building Design?

No. This course covers the project delivery side of Autodesk Forma: data management, design collaboration, model coordination, and an introduction to construction workflows. Forma Site Design and Forma Building Design are early-stage design tools and are not part of this course.

Do I need to know Revit before taking this course?

Yes. Sessions 4 to 6 use Revit Cloud Worksharing and Revit model coordination, so you should have completed Revit 1 Fundamentals and Revit 3 Constructing, Sharing and Collaborating, or have equivalent experience.

What certificate do I receive?

On successful completion you receive an Autodesk Certificate of Completion, issued by ETC as an Autodesk Authorized Training Center.

Can I take the course online?

Yes. The course is delivered face-to-face at ETC in Dbayeh or online via Zoom, in 8 weekly sessions of 2 hours each.
