How Forma Site Design and Civil 3D exchange data

Forma Site Design Autodesk Civil 3D Autodesk

1 type of data shared

Civil 3D → Forma DXF import

Direction:Inbound

Civil 3D parcels and site linework are exploded to polylines, saved as DXF, and imported into Forma Site Design as site context for early-stage massing and site studies. One-way: nothing comes back into the Civil 3D design model. Autodesk notes the workflow is imperfect — coordinate systems differ between the two, and there is no direct surface link yet — but this is the documented pathway.
