In order to send your Autodesk Forma proposal to Revit, you’ll need to:
- Install the Forma Revit Add-In on your computer
- Or, work on a computer that has the Forma Revit Add-In installed.
If you’re working in a Virtual Environment that will not allow you to install new software — for example, Stanford Apporto virtual desktop — you won’t be able to install the add-in.
Please use one of these options:
- Send your Autodesk Forma proposal to Revit using on the computers available in Y2E2 184. These computers have the Forma Revit Add-In installed. You’ll only need to complete this one step on these computers. After the proposal is imported to Revit, you can upload the Revit file and continue working in your usual environment.
- If you cannot use the computers in Y2E2 184, please contact the teaching team and request their assistance in sending your Forma proposal to Revit. They can complete the import and share the Revit file for you to continue your work.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MAC USERS
If you’re using Autodesk Forma on a Mac, be sure to switch to your Windows environment (for example Parallels or Bootcamp) and open Autodesk Forma in Google Chrome in Windows — before using the Send to Revit command.
Revit will be looking for the exported Proposal in a specific Windows folder, so you need to issue the command from within your Windows environment.
