Automate BIM data synchronization between Autodesk® Revit® and dRofus through the AEC Data Model and Autodesk Forma®.

Free

dRofus® AEC Data Sync is an AEC Data Model Integration for Autodesk® Revit® via Autodesk Forma®.

Automate BIM data synchronization between Revit and dRofus through Autodesk Forma and the AEC Data Model. This integration reduces manual updates, maintains consistent design data across platforms during design, and enables process automation.

Instead of opening Revit and using the dRofus desktop plugin to manually push model data to dRofus, simply publish the design model to Forma and use this integration to push the data from Revit into dRofus. Set-up and configuration are done via dRofus Web; attribute configurations defined in Revit are available to use with the integration. You will receive an email with a log when the sync is complete.

Key Features:

  • Multiple synchronization methods for design-phase flexibility 
  • Automatic updates triggered by published Cloud Workshared Revit models
  • Permission-based access control with OAuth authentication 
  • Detailed sync logs are delivered via email.

Technical Setup:

  • Revit with Forma-hosted models 
  • Appropriate user permissions in Forma and dRofus

Authentication 

  • The app uses a 3-legged token to fetch Accounts, Projects, and Revit model data and a 2-legged token to set up webhooks on Autodesk Forma folders so dRofus can automatically sync data on model updates.

Full documentation and implementation guides are available at dRofus Help Center.
