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

At Autodesk, we're fully aware of the digital transformation sweeping through the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry. It's a shift toward smarter, more resilient methods of designing and constructing our homes, workplaces, and communities. Yet, we recognize the challenges that come with this transition: the $3.7 trillion required to meet infrastructure demands, the massive amount of waste generated annually by construction and demolition, rising project complexity, and tighter budgets. Fortunately, AECO is an industry full of problem solvers. We believe that outcome-based building information modeling (BIM) is the solution to achieving outcomes like carbon neutrality or reducing 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. High-quality data helps meet deadlines, provides AI-driven insights to boost productivity, and enables better-informed decision-making, ultimately reducing risks further down the line. We're collaborating with our clients to shape the future of BIM. In many ways, we've already embarked on the next phase 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—whether within Autodesk or third-party solutions—to unify BIM workflows across the teams involved in designing, building, and operating the built environment. The key to unlocking the value of this data is Autodesk Docs, our common data environment for the AECO industry. Autodesk Docs serves as the central hub that will integrate, organize, and secure data across solutions like AutoCAD, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, Tandem, Civil 3D, and Autodesk Workshop XR, ensuring that the right data reaches the right people at the right time throughout the project lifecycle. Earlier this year, we introduced the AEC Data Model API—a significant step toward enabling granular data for Autodesk Docs users. Now, we've reached another milestone for outcome-based BIM: **Autodesk Forma is now connected to Autodesk Docs**, Autodesk’s AECO data repository. Over time, this connection will introduce new workflows and opportunities that link teams and project data to supercharge 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. It's all powered by Autodesk Docs and centralized data. That’s just the beginning. Over time, Autodesk Forma’s connection to Autodesk Docs will enhance the integration between Forma and Revit, laying the groundwork for a seamless connection 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 connected to Autodesk Docs. Workshop XR allows design teams and stakeholders to walk through their 3D models at human scale for an unparalleled design review experience. The extended reality environment provides a deeper understanding of the spatial experience within the built environment, helping teams identify and address design issues early, preventing costly rework, delays, and project 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 discuss exciting advancements from Autodesk AI that boost productivity, creativity, and sustainability. Take, for example, the **Embodied Carbon Analysis in Autodesk Forma**, now in beta. The earlier in the design process you can measure the carbon footprint of building materials, the greater impact you can have on outcomes. This AI-powered capability will enable designers to test material design decisions from day one. It's part of Autodesk’s Total Carbon Analysis for Architects in the AEC Collection, which measures carbon impacts from lighting, HVAC, architectural elements, and building materials. Autodesk AI is also simplifying the process of extracting information from vast amounts of data. With the beta release of **Autodesk Assistant in Autodesk Construction Cloud**, users can easily ask questions about their specification documents. Using natural language prompts, Autodesk Assistant can answer specific queries, generate item lists, or even draft summaries for project communications. Over time, Autodesk Assistant will become more integrated into everyday workflows to help teams save time and reduce risk. Additionally, the use of real-world data and context is particularly valuable for designing and making better outcomes for the built environment. We continue to invest in our strategic alliance with Esri and are excited to announce plans to **expand Esri’s data availability within Autodesk Forma**, giving architects access to valuable contextual data earlier in the design process. In addition to existing access to Esri’s terrain data, there are plans to incorporate contextual geographic data from ArcGIS, including both Esri and consensually shared customer data for buildings, zoning, roads, property boundaries, imagery, and more. This expanded integration will help architects and planners use Autodesk Forma to design with location in mind and deliver projects that are more sustainable, resilient, and better able to support local communities. Building the future by investing in the core: As we move forward with this AECO industry transformation, investing in our core portfolio of products that are connected to Autodesk Docs—Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Autodesk Construction Cloud—is crucial to this journey. We're committed to ongoing improvements in these solutions to drive business resilience and efficiency for our customers. For instance, recent releases of AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit have combined to deliver over 500 features and enhancements, many of which were suggested by customer feedback. Here are a few updates to our core portfolio that enhance our customers’ productivity and deliver better project outcomes: AutoCAD 2025: It's now twice as fast to open files compared to AutoCAD 2024, allowing users to spend less time waiting and more time designing. Soon, we'll launch a private beta of a new type of insight that delivers near real-time information to help users maximize their use of AutoCAD directly within their workflows. Civil 3D: In Autodesk Collaboration for Civil 3D, we've enhanced existing capabilities to enable key infrastructure measurements, sectioning, and integration of 3D models. Additionally, updates to Sheet Set Manager for the Web bring its capabilities more in line with the desktop version. Revit 2025: Continues to deliver on customer feedback with much-requested releases like Sheet Collections and PDF upgrades for managing document sets, interoperability improvements for more open BIM workflows, and performance, personalization, and insight upgrades that boost productivity. Moreover, we recently announced new capabilities for **Autodesk Construction Cloud**, including Sample Project Templates, Budget Snapshots, and a new BuildingConnected Pro integration with Cost Management in Autodesk Build. These features help teams focus on the critical information they need, cutting through unnecessary noise. The core portfolio is the gateway to outcome-based BIM. We're committed to partnering with our customers on this transformation by helping them succeed today while building toward the future and advancing Autodesk Forma as the AECO industry cloud. Applying the future of BIM, today: These announcements from AU 2024 demonstrate how the future of BIM and the AECO industry is becoming a reality today. We can see it in the hands of customers like **Baker Barrios Architects**, which is using Autodesk Forma to develop an innovative digital workflow that consolidates several software products onto one central platform and designs with an outcome-based approach. Wayne Dunkelberger, chief design officer at Baker Barrios Architects, shares that Autodesk Forma has been a "seismic shift" for the firm: "It's basically a time machine where you're seeing what the real world will feel like when the building is actually on site." Dunkelberger also notes that the ability of Autodesk Forma to handle multiple tasks in one tool frees the firm’s designers to "be more creative in solving the design problems for our client." The success of customers like Baker Barrios Architects shows that while reaching the future is challenging work, we're well on our way. Data, AI, and Autodesk Forma are powerful tools in the hands of motivated, innovative problem solvers. Together, we're creating a future with less waste, less knowledge loss, and less friction from design to make to operate. Register here for a free digital pass.
