Autodesk FormIt Pro is an advanced conceptual architectural modeling software, designed to support architects and designers in the early stages of design. It combines the creative freedom of hand drawing with the precision of BIM data, allowing for dynamic, intuitive, and collaborative design both on desktop and on mobile devices and web browsers. FormIt Pro is the ideal bridge between conceptual design and the final technical documentation in Revit.
🎯 Who is FormIt Pro suitable for
FormIt Pro is perfect for:
• Architects and architectural firms
• Urban planners and environmental designers
• BIM designers and multidisciplinary teams
• Professionals working in collaborative or mobile environments
The software is ideal for those who want to develop design ideas in real time, with intelligent parametric tools, integrated environmental analysis, and the ability to seamlessly move to BIM design with Revit.
🎨 Main features
✔ Intuitive 3D modeling
FormIt Pro allows you to model volumes and surfaces naturally, thanks to tools similar to freehand drawing but enhanced by precise geometries and smart snapping.
✔ Integrated solar and environmental analysis 🌞
During the concept phase, you can perform real-time solar simulations to optimize the positioning of buildings and evaluate their preliminary energy performances.
✔ Direct integration with Revit
With a simple click, the conceptual models created in FormIt Pro can be imported into Revit while maintaining the geometry and associated data, for complete continuity in the BIM workflow.
✔ Parametric modeling with Dynamo
It supports the use of Dynamo, Autodesk's powerful visual scripting platform, to create complex geometries and advanced parametric controls directly in FormIt.
✔ Web and Mobile Version
FormIt Pro is also accessible from a browser and mobile app, allowing you to draw, collaborate and edit models wherever you are.
✔ Library of materials and predefined objects
It includes a wide range of realistic materials, architectural components, and scene objects to enrich your conceptual models.
✔ Cloud collaboration tools ☁
Work in real time with other users thanks to integration with Autodesk Docs and support for shared workspaces.
