"With Workshop XR, we can open every model within our Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) environment, and it's so easy."

— Rick Boers, BIM Manager, Dura Vermeer

"In Autodesk Forma (formerly ACC), you can create issues. You can do the same in Workshop XR, except you have spatial awareness."

— Zinta Rize, Discipline Leader Mechanical/Process Engineering, Sweco

"VR became an opportunity to reduce the silos and work more efficiently."

— Jon Matalucci, Senior Associate, BIM/VDC Manager, Stantec

"Workshop XR can immediately load some of the largest models we've seen and run on a standalone headset"

— Johan Germishuys, Director of Digital Solutions for Engineering Services Canada, Atkins Réalis

Questions? We have answers.

Workshop XR is used for design review and collaboration. It is an immersive workspace for AEC teams to review 3D models and associated data from Autodesk Forma together in real-time.

Workshop XR is used by BIM managers, BIM coordinators, VDC coordinators, and building engineers (structural engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers) who are interested in using XR to review Forma models together at human-scale to gain a shared spatial understanding of their project.

No — a VR headset is not required.

Workshop XR works on both VR headsets and standard desktop web browsers. With a license, users on either platform can create, join, and participate in collaborative design reviews.

The Web App supports model navigation, file swapping, multi-user audio, and issue interaction — no headset required.

For full immersion and enhanced spatial awareness, VR is encouraged. Workshop XR supports Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S, and Pro headsets.
