| Summary | 26.01.2024 First impression, it’s a lot more accurate than other AI tried so far. Surrounding buildings can be easily changed and they can be worked on simultaneously on plan and in 3d (multiple worksheets). Analysis run smoothly apart from the rapid noise for which there seems to be information lacking in order to have an accurate result.. | | --- | --- | | Accessibility | Reasonable range of functions as expected from a large and established CAD software developer. | | Limitations | Requires an Autodesk Revit account | | Specifics | German building regulations or Geodata are only partially implemented. | | Q&A | Developer - Fully established SaaS. Regular customer relations. | | | Manuals - Complex, but embedded in the Autodesk Website (external link) | | | Videos - There are various videos on YouTube - (external link) | | Last evaluation | 28 May 2024 | | Status | Suspended. We currently explore Rhino as alternative to Forma. | | Note … | the range of functions might have evolved since our review! |
