On May 8, 2023, we released the Forma Site Design in-market offering, which combined many of Spacemaker’s AI and predictive analytics capabilities for early-stage architectural design and urban planning with many of FormIt's conceptual modeling tools. We’ve also added new capabilities such as expanded data availability and new analyses.
With many Spacemaker capabilities now available in Forma Site Design, we have retired the Spacemaker software, and existing subscribers were migrated to Forma Site Design.
Autodesk AI helps Forma Site Design users make informed decisions during the planning phase, unlocking more time for creation and exploration. AI capabilities include:
Some Autodesk AI features do not leverage machine learning and so do not require data for training of the underlying models. When an AI feature does require data for training, Autodesk uses different data sources depending on the feature. You can learn more about whether an Autodesk AI feature relies on machine learning and what data sources are used for training on the feature’s AI transparency card, located within the Trusted AI section of Autodesk's Trust Center.
