Improve issue detection, tracking and resolution by combining large-scale, high-accuracy NavVis as-is data from construction sites and buildings in NavVis IVION with Autodesk Forma's industry-leading issue and document management.

Before you can use the NavVis IVION Connector for Autodesk Forma Data Management (called Connector in the following) can be used, it needs to be added to your Autodesk account. Autodesk Forma account admins can find and add the NavVis IVION Connector by navigating to “Account Admin” and then to the "Apps" tab.

In addition, you need a working NavVis IVION instance. Please contact your NavVis representative or visit NavVis IVION - a platform for spatial data to get access to NavVis IVION.

Please find the main steps for using the NavVis IVION Connector for Autodesk Forma Data Management below. Please also take a look at the screenshots and the workflow video.

For any further details about this integration, please visit the NavVis Knowledge Base.

Step 1: Register your instance Contact NavVis support at support@navvis.com to register your NavVis IVION instance URL for use with the Connector.

Step 2: Install the Connector Have your Autodesk Forma Account Admin install the NavVis IVION Connector from the Autodesk App Store via Account Admin → Apps.

Step 3: Open the Connector and authenticate Launch the Connector from the Autodesk App Store. Log in to both your NavVis IVION instance and your Autodesk account to grant access.

Step 4: Set up a sync profile Create a sync profile by linking a NavVis IVION site and POI category with a Forma project and Issue type. Choose from three sync types:

• Basic – syncs POI and Issue content bidirectionally and automatically moves attachments (e.g. field photographs) from IVION POIs to Forma Data Management.
• Enhanced – everything in Basic, plus aligns the point cloud with an RVT or IFC file using a triangulation matrix and syncs the positions of Issues and POIs for cross-team collaboration.
• Georeferenced (IFC only) – everything in Enhanced, but uses shared coordinates in a common spatial reference system instead of a triangulation matrix for alignment. 

Step 5: Start working Once your profile is active, the Connector syncs automatically every 5 minutes.
