To use a
Forma workflow in
Revit, the model must be connected to a scenario and assigned a geographic location.
Geographic location (geolocation) defines where the model resides in the real world. It enables location-based
Forma workflows.
Note: As a
Forma Connected Client,
Revit offers
Forma capabilities that are part of a technology preview (tech preview), which means that it's new and continuously improving.

About Geolocation for Forma Workflows
Geographic location (geolocation) defines where the model resides in the real world. It enables location-based Forma workflows.
About Geolocation and Shared Coordinates
If you define a geolocation for a Revit model that uses shared coordinates with linked models, the shared coordinates relationship is removed.
Geolocate Your Revit Model for Forma
When connecting a model to a Forma scenario, specify a geographic location to provide a real-world context.
Draft Geolocation
When connecting a model to a Forma scenario, use draft geolocation for early stage design if detailed survey data is not yet available.
Define the Model Elevation
After specifying advanced geolocation for use in a Forma scenario, you may also need to define the model elevation so contextual data displays correctly.
Acquire Coordinates for Advanced Geolocation
When detailed survey data is available, use advanced geolocation for Forma workflows, providing greater accuracy for coordination and analysis.
