PlanGrid Import

You can move your project data from PlanGrid to Forma Data Management. You can transfer files, models, issues, and project settings, and your information stays intact.

This transition minimizes disruption to active projects. It also improves collaboration and data management in Autodesk Forma.

Transitioning a project takes two steps. First you import the project, then you transition the data to create an active project in Autodesk Forma.

Import Email Notifications

When an import finishes, you receive an email for the outcome:

• Successful import: Confirms the import succeeded and includes details such as the accuracy rate and item counts.
• Partially successful import: Notes that the import finished with some issues and summarizes the imported items and any exceptions.
• Failed import: Explains that the import didn't succeed and includes any available error details.

Data Transition Statuses

There are a few stages that a project goes through during the data transition process. While importing the project there is a validation and an import stage. Once the import is complete you can see your project data using our file browser. You can also transition the project to become an active project in Autodesk Forma. The following lists the statuses that you may see throughout the process.

• Validating: The project is being validated against the maximum limitations of the Data transition tool. The system adds you as a project administrator to run the validation.
• Importing: The project passes all of the system checks and is being imported into Autodesk Forma.
• Partially imported: The project passes all of the system checks. Some items were not imported due to corruption or other issues. Check the summary report to see which items were not imported.
• Imported: The project has completed the import into Autodesk Forma. You can now open the project in the file browser.
• Transitioning: The project is being transitioned to the Files or Forma module.
• Limit exceeded: The project exceeds the maximum limitations of the Data transition tool and is not imported.
