We&#8217;ve been building Forma Street Design with a group of pilot engineering firms, including independent Autodesk Expert Elites, testing it on real projects.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our&nbsp;closed beta is where that opens up to the wider engineering community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you join the&nbsp;waitlist, you&#8217;re not signing up to try a finished product.&nbsp;You&#8217;re&nbsp;signing up to be among the first people to use it, tell&nbsp;what works well&nbsp;and what&nbsp;needs improvement, and help shape where Forma&nbsp;Street Design&nbsp;goes next for engineers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is Forma Street Design?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forma Street Design helps civil and transportation teams explore street design changes live \u2014 from alignments and curve radii to lane widths \u2014 so you&nbsp;can spot&nbsp;issues, compare options, and agree on a direction sooner. Once&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;aligned, continue the design in Civil 3D without rebuilding it from scratch, which lowers the risk of painful changes later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Forma Street Design, you can:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Design directly in context.&nbsp;<\/strong>Import GIS layers, terrain, adjacent buildings, and property boundaries in minutes instead of hours.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make changes in an instant.&nbsp;<\/strong>Add a bus bulb-out in one click, move an alignment, use swept path analysis powered by Autodesk Vehicle Tracking, and explore plan and section at once.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Continue the design in Civil 3D.&nbsp;<\/strong>Once&nbsp;you&#8217;re&nbsp;confident in your design direction, move directly into Civil 3D for detailed engineering without the rework.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The main value in Forma Street Design is being able to evaluate alternatives quickly, at a high level but with enough information to identify fatal\u00a0flaws, and\u00a0provide enough direction and comfort level for the project teams to move from a planning-level project to a design-level project.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p><cite><em>\u2014 Mats Dale, P.E., Civil Engineer, Kimley-Horn<\/em>\u00a0<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/forma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/Forma-Street-Design_-Kimley-Horn-Story.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Forma Street Design for?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, street design tools are too rigid for the&nbsp;early stages&nbsp;of design, where planning requires constant optioneering and iteration. When a client or stakeholder requests a change, it can take hours or even days to rebuild the design, test the alternative, and&nbsp;demonstrate&nbsp;its impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is costing firms today: pressure on already tight deadlines, and rework eating into margins. It can also create a fragmented relationship with clients and stakeholders, slowing down the decisions needed to move a project forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forma Street Design brings flexibility back to the street design process. Design changes can be explored with real geometry, in front of the people asking for them. You can&nbsp;immediately&nbsp;assess the impact, compare options, and make decisions together. That means less&nbsp;time rebuilding and more time moving your project forward \u2013 with a design ready to take into Civil 3D.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;When I was able to draw an intersection concept in Forma Street Design and then seamlessly bring it into Civil 3D, that&#8217;s when I knew this product had real viability.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p><cite><em> \u2014 Mats Dale, P.E., Civil Engineer, Kimley-Horn<\/em>\u00a0<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key capabilities that make up Forma Street Design:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Design in context:&nbsp;<\/strong>Access and bring in<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>GIS layers, terrain, adjacent buildings, and property boundary data in minutes, so you can design around real-world constraints.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Smart and flexible geometry:&nbsp;<\/strong>Generate intersections automatically, use swept path analysis powered by Autodesk Vehicle Tracking, and adjust curve radii instantly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Live plan and section:&nbsp;<\/strong>Adjust both in sync, visualize changes live, and explore lane configurations within right-of-way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Civil 3D handoff:&nbsp;<\/strong>Carry alignments, assemblies, and sub-assemblies straight into Civil 3D, reducing rework when detailed engineering begins.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Forma Board:&nbsp;<\/strong>Turn street designs into presentation-ready visuals for stakeholder meetings, with AI-powered rendering to explore atmosphere, materiality, and mood.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"2160\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 3840 \/ 2160;\" width=\"3840\" controls src=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/forma\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/163\/North-Street-Boston-US.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is Forma Street Design for?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Forma Street Design is built for civil and road engineers and transportation planners doing early-phase street design \u2014 complete streets, bike\/pedestrian projects, intersections, and mobility corridors \u2014 at engineering and planning firms.
