Autodesk Releases Civil 3D Cloud Connector for Forma and Revit Data Exchange

Autodesk has announced the general availability of its Civil 3D Cloud Connector, moving the integration out of public beta into a supported production tool within the Autodesk Data Exchange ecosystem. The connector allows civil infrastructure data—such as corridors, pipe networks, surfaces, and bridge components—to flow directly into Autodesk Forma, Revit, and Autodesk Construction Cloud without requiring a local Civil 3D desktop install or license. According to Autodesk, the general availability release resolves beta issues by preserving solid properties, fixing layer filtering data loss, correcting geolocation distortion, and adding direct support for selectable corridor solids and individual bridge parts.

Key takeaways

• Civil 3D Cloud Connector has reached general availability, connecting civil data into Autodesk Forma, Revit, and Autodesk Construction Cloud without desktop Civil 3D licenses.
• The GA release adds support for bridge components and individually selectable corridor solids in Revit, while fixing geolocation distortion and layer-filtering issues.
• Property sets defined in Civil 3D transfer with geometry, allowing downstream 4D construction sequence visualization in Power BI and Forma Insights.
