Connect Forma project already designed to an ACC project

Edyfic_mbenkaidali — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 20:21:15 GMT

Hi, I ve been modeling a forma project for mounths, now that Forma is connected directly to ACC, i wanted to link this forma project to the ACC project. but i'm not seeing anything in that way to allow this connection.

Is there a way to include the existing forma project to an ACC project ?

Is it something you re looking for cause it will allow to save all the time spent into modeling.

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no migration in place today, that would let you migrate your Forma projects to ACC projects, but you can export sites and import them into sites that exist in ACC project.
We are actively looking into making this experience more seamless and not making users work double in Forma and further in advance stages of the project. Be on the look out for these changes at https://changes.autodeskforma.com/

@safeer_zaidi

We were just told in a webinar today that this is now possible unless I misunderstood what they were saying.

I'm trying to figure out why I only have one of my ACC projects showing in Forma under our ACC hub. I have an ACC hub and a Forma hub. Each with one project. The project that is in the Forma hub, is a Forma project. The project under the ACC hub is a fairly newly made ACC project. I cannot find where to turn Forma on for other, older ACC projects however.

I'm trying to find the answer, and this the closest I've come to an answer, so I'm trying to clarify some things.

@Ric_Weber i have faced the same issue a couple of weeks ago, you need to start a new ACC project to be able to activate Forma within.

@Ric_Weber I think there is a misunderstanding, The feature is that you can access ACC projects in Forma and create sites within them, but not the other way around. There is no way to connect a Forma project with your ACC project.

@Edyfic_mbenkaidali and @safeer_zaidi, thank you both! That helps a lot I think. I'm going to try to start playing more and see how we can incorporate Forma more into our regular routines. Thanks again!
