Unlocking GIS Data for Early-Stage Planning | Esri ArcGIS + Forma Site Design

Massing, site layout, and responses to environmental constraints become harder and more expensive to change as a project progresses. By bringing trusted GIS data from Esri into Autodesk Forma Site Design early, design teams can make better-informed decisions from day one. In this Autodesk + Esri webinar, you'll learn how to connect GIS and design data in a single workflow to streamline early-stage planning, improve collaboration, and visualize designs in their real-world context. The session walks through how to: Prepare and curate GIS data in ArcGIS Style layers for readability before importing them into Forma Create a georeferenced Forma Site Design project with contextual data Add GIS layers through ArcGIS for Autodesk Forma while iterating on massing Transfer your proposal to Revit with terrain, roads, and GIS context for continued detailed design You'll also see workflows in Forma Building Design and Forma Board, including AI-powered visualizations that support early-stage planning. ArcGIS for Autodesk Forma brings trusted location intelligence directly into the design process, helping teams assess site conditions, reduce rework, improve collaboration, and make more informed decisions from the very beginning.
