Autodesk doubles down on the future of BIM with new data connections and AI capabilities

At Autodesk, we're deeply aware of the ongoing digital transformation reshaping the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) sector. This transformation is driving us toward smarter, more resilient methods for creating homes, workplaces, and communities. Yet, we recognize the challenges ahead: the $3.7 trillion needed to meet infrastructure demands, the massive amounts of waste produced annually by construction and demolition, rising project complexity, and shrinking budgets. Fortunately, the AECO industry thrives on problem-solving. We believe that outcome-based building information modeling (BIM) offers a solution to achieve goals such as carbon neutrality or minimizing waste throughout the project lifecycle. The foundation of outcome-based BIM lies in data—granular, accessible, and open data that unifies teams across the project lifecycle. Enhanced data improves productivity, provides AI-powered insights, and supports better decision-making, ultimately reducing risks. We're collaborating with our customers to shape the future of BIM. In some ways, we've already embarked on the next chapter of the AECO industry. We’re eager to share our progress toward this vision at Autodesk University (AU) 2024. --- **Data-Powered Collaboration Across the Project Lifecycle** We're developing Autodesk Forma, the AECO industry cloud, to connect project data from both Autodesk and third-party solutions, unifying BIM workflows across design, construction, and operational teams. The key to unlocking this data's value is Autodesk Docs, our common data environment for the AECO industry. As the central hub, Autodesk Docs will connect, organize, and secure data across platforms like AutoCAD, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, Tandem, Civil 3D, and Autodesk Workshop XR. This ensures the right data reaches the right people at the right time throughout the project lifecycle. This year, we introduced the AEC Data Model API, a crucial step toward enabling granular data for Autodesk Docs users. Now, we've achieved another milestone: **Autodesk Forma is now connected to Autodesk Docs**, our AECO data repository. Over time, this will introduce new workflows and opportunities that bring teams and data together, boosting collaboration. For instance, our digital whiteboard and collaboration tool, the Forma Board, can now import visuals from Autodesk Docs files and connect stakeholders—architects, engineers, and contractors—around a live digital concept. Powered by Autodesk Docs and centralized data, this enhances communication and efficiency. In the future, Autodesk Forma's connection to Autodesk Docs will deepen integration with Revit, paving the way for a seamless flow between Forma's planning tools and Revit's detailed design and documentation capabilities. We're also enhancing collaboration with the commercial release of **Autodesk Workshop XR**, an immersive design review workspace linked to Autodesk Docs. Workshop XR allows design teams and stakeholders to explore 3D models at human scale, providing a superior design review experience. The extended reality environment deepens spatial understanding, helping teams identify and resolve design issues early, avoiding costly rework, delays, and waste. --- **Accelerating Better Outcomes with Data and AI** Getting data right is fundamental to advancing outcome-based BIM and improving customer workflows with AI. At AU, we'll unveil exciting advancements from Autodesk AI that boost productivity, creativity, and sustainability. Take, for example, the **Embodied Carbon Analysis in Autodesk Forma**, now in beta. Measuring the carbon footprint of building materials early in the design process maximizes impact. This AI-driven capability enables designers to assess material choices from day one. It's part of Autodesk's Total Carbon Analysis for Architects in the AEC Collection, measuring carbon impacts from lighting, HVAC systems, architectural elements, and materials. Autodesk AI also simplifies accessing information from vast datasets. The beta release of **Autodesk Assistant in Autodesk Construction Cloud** allows users to ask questions about specification documents using natural language prompts. Autodesk Assistant can answer queries, generate lists, or draft summaries for project communications. Over time, it will integrate further into daily workflows, saving time and reducing risks. Moreover, real-world data and context are invaluable for designing sustainable outcomes. We're strengthening our alliance with Esri, announcing plans to expand Esri's data availability within Autodesk Forma. This gives architects access to critical contextual data earlier in the design process. Besides terrain data, there are plans to include geographic data from ArcGIS, such as buildings, zoning, roads, property boundaries, and more. This expanded integration will empower architects and planners to design with location in mind, delivering projects that are more sustainable, resilient, and community-friendly. --- **Building the Future by Investing in the Core** As we navigate this AECO transformation, investing in our core product suite—connected to Autodesk Docs—is vital. This includes Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Autodesk Construction Cloud. We remain committed to enhancing these solutions to drive business resilience and efficiency for our customers. Recent updates to AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit have introduced over 500 features and improvements, many inspired by customer feedback. Here are some highlights: - **AutoCAD 2025**: Opens files twice as fast as AutoCAD 2024, allowing users to focus more on design. Soon, we'll launch a private beta of a new insight type offering near real-time information within workflows. - **Civil 3D**: Enhancements in Autodesk Collaboration for Civil 3D enable key infrastructure measurements, sectioning, and model integration. Updates to Sheet Set Manager for the Web align its capabilities with the desktop version. - **Revit 2025**: Delivers on customer requests with features like Sheet Collections, PDF upgrades for document management, improved interoperability for open BIM workflows, and performance upgrades that boost productivity. Additionally, we recently introduced new capabilities for **Autodesk Construction Cloud**, including Sample Project Templates, Budget Snapshots, and a new integration with Cost Management in BuildingConnected Pro. These tools help teams filter out noise and focus on essential information. The core portfolio is the gateway to outcome-based BIM. We're dedicated to partnering with customers to succeed today while building toward the future, advancing Autodesk Forma as the AECO industry cloud. --- **Applying the Future of BIM Today** These AU 2024 announcements highlight how the future of BIM and the AECO industry is becoming a reality today. Take **Baker Barrios Architects**, which uses Autodesk Forma to develop an innovative digital workflow connecting multiple software platforms on one central hub and adopting an outcome-based approach. Wayne Dunkelberger, Chief Design Officer at Baker Barrios Architects, describes Autodesk Forma as a "time machine" showing what the built environment will feel like on-site. He notes that Forma's multifunctionality frees designers to focus more on creative problem-solving. The success of customers like Baker Barrios Architects demonstrates that while reaching the future requires effort, we're well on our way. Data, AI, and Autodesk Forma are powerful tools in the hands of motivated innovators. Together, we're building a future with less waste, fewer knowledge gaps, and smoother transitions from design to construction to operation. Register here for a free digital pass.
