Forma Tools

What it does

These read the cloud, not the document — no model needs to be open. Sign in to Autodesk, pick a hub, pick projects, and the tools do the rest.

Hub Publish finds cloud models that were never re-published. Hub Report inventories a whole hub. Hub Backup mirrors files locally, incrementally. Edit Report diffs published versions to show who changed what. Link Check finds broken and stale cloud links. Permissions audits who can see what. Milestone copies a WIP folder into a milestone folder, server-side.

Highlights

• Publish every unpublished cloud model in a project in one pass.
• Export a hub inventory to Excel — name, platform, Revit version, status, project ID.
• Mirror ACC files to a local or network folder; re-runs only fetch what changed.
• See who created, changed and deleted which elements between two dates.
• Visualise those changes in the model itself, and remove the overlays again.
• Find cloud links that are missing, or newer than the host was published against.
• Audit members, roles and folder permissions, with a network diagram per project.
• Copy a WIP folder to a milestone folder server-side — no download, no Desktop Connector.
• Five of the seven spend no Autodesk consumption tokens.

Before you start

• Sign in to Autodesk from the dialog — the browser flow runs once and is remembered.
• Your organisation needs to have enabled our app for the hub you want to read.
• Hub Publish and Milestone write to the cloud; everything else is read-only.

Quick start

1. Open the tool from the Forma panel — no model required.
2. Choose the hub and click Get Projects.
3. Tick the projects, scan, then run.
