At the AIA Convention held in Atlanta, Georgia, Autodesk introduced two innovative conceptual design tools aimed at enhancing the fluidity and efficiency of BIM-based workflows. These tools, Autodesk FormIt 360 Pro and Dynamo Studio, are designed to empower architects and building professionals by streamlining the conceptual design phase and integrating it seamlessly into the broader architectural workflow.
Jim Lynch, Vice President of the Building and Collaboration Product Line Group at Autodesk, highlighted the importance of bridging gaps in the architectural design process. He noted, "Conceptual design has long been a critical component of architecture, yet it has often remained isolated from
Other stages of the workflow. FormIt 360 Pro and Dynamo Studio aim to close this gap, offering architects advanced tools to create a more cohesive and dynamic BIM workflow."
**Autodesk FormIt 360 Pro**
The latest iteration of FormIt 360 Pro builds upon its predecessor by introducing enhanced analytical capabilities and robust cloud-based collaboration tools. As a web and mobile application, FormIt 360 Pro facilitates quick and intuitive 3D sketching for early-stage BIM-connected conceptual design. This tool enables users to effortlessly capture their design ideas and collaborate effectively with team members across various platforms.
One standout feature of FormIt 360 Pro is its ability to conduct preliminary energy and solar analyses, allowing architects to assess performance right from the start. Additionally, the tool supports shadow and sun path studies to visualize how design concepts interact with their surroundings, along with the option to overlay maps onto models for accurate site representation.
Collaboration is another key aspect of FormIt 360 Pro. With FormIt Collaboration, team members can simultaneously work on models using iPads, Android tablets, or web browsers. Furthermore, native integration with Autodesk Revit ensures smooth transitions between conceptual designs and subsequent BIM processes. A new addition, FormIt Converter, permits importing SketchUp and Revit files as editable geometry within FormIt 360 and FormIt 360 Pro.
**Dynamo Studio**
Dynamo Studio represents a significant leap forward in parametric design capabilities. Unlike previous iterations, which required pairing with other software solutions, Dynamo Studio operates independently, providing a standalone environment for exploring complex designs and automating repetitive tasks. By supporting interoperability across various platforms—such as Revit, Navisworks, Robot Structural Analysis Professional, Excel, SAP2000, Tableau, and Rhinoceros—Dynamo Studio fosters seamless integration into existing workflows. This flexibility empowers designers to address challenges swiftly by tailoring workflows that influence both geometric forms and functional behaviors of building models.
A striking example of Dynamo Studio's potential lies in its capacity to generate detailed visualizations of parametric designs. Such outputs enable stakeholders to grasp intricate relationships within architectural plans and make informed decisions during iterative phases. Moreover, Dynamo Studio’s compatibility with numerous third-party applications ensures broad applicability across diverse industries.
