Feature Request: Forma Export Geometry

[eklingerHFVZ3]

Having tried out the Revit connection from Forma it is clear that is is not ready for production use in a firm environment. I have other posts detailing issues and frustrations I have experienced while testing. It would be great if we could export the modeled geometry as an IFC, OBJ, etc. to allow for easy import into Revit or other design software (Rhino, Sketchup, etc.) 

Is an export function like this being looked at by the development team?

Hey there! Thanks for your post. You are able to export a proposal by clicking the ellipses on the proposal and selecting "Export". A zipped folder will be downloaded on your machine which includes an .OBJ file of your proposal elements.

Thank you so much! This will help tremendously but it still seems necessary to be able to export an IFC file format so it can be directly linked into Revit.

Hi @eklingerHFVZ3.
You can send you proposal directly to Revit. Learn more here: https://help.autodeskforma.com/en/articles/6984724-revit-interoperability

sending the proposal to Revit will allow you to then export to RVT or IFC format amongst others. I have been able to successfully bring it in to other modelling software without any hassle.

I was able to finally get Forma Terrain into Minecraft

Why? Why not. Also we talk to highschoolers and potential interns who model in minecraft.

This is fun!
Are you able to edit the terrain in Minecraft (and bring it back to Forma)?
We have talked about doing something like this at internal hackathons, but never got around to do so!

Well, yes...going the other way is not as straight forward.
