About the integration
One Click LCA now connects to Autodesk Forma via Forma Data Management and BIM 360. Autodesk Forma was previously known as Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). The integration uses Autodesk Platform Services, formerly Forge. This allows you to get carbon and life-cycle assessments and Environmental Product Declarations from the data authored with Autodesk and third-party tools.
This allows automating LCA without design authoring tools such as Revit, especially useful to developers and project managers.
The key benefits of this integration are:
You get access to your entire project portfolio and can create consistent LCAs for them
You can use the much more affordable Autodesk Forma platform vs. full-fledged design software
You do not have to locate and wait for the large BIM models to load to get LCA done
You can give access to your projects to others via the platform to allow them to create LCAs
The platform is authoring tool agnostic, meaning that it does not require all projects to be authored using the same design software
Update
Autodesk rebranded its construction products under Autodesk Forma in March 2026. The main naming changes relevant to this integration are:
Autodesk Construction Cloud → Autodesk Forma
Autodesk Docs → Forma Data Management
Autodesk Construction Cloud accounts → Autodesk Forma Hubs
Autodesk Construction Cloud account admins → Autodesk Forma Hub Admins
Some of the new names and branding may not yet be visible in One Click LCA. However, the integration continues to work as before. Existing projects, data, workflows, login details, and URLs remain unchanged.
How do you set up the Autodesk Forma Integration?
Make sure you have the things listed below before starting:
One Click LCA account and license with Expert features or higher
An account with Autodesk Forma/BIM 360 with the Forma Data Management (formerly Autodesk Docs) feature

How can I access the integration?
To access the integration, you should first add the One Click LCA integration to your Autodesk Forma Hub. To do this please follow the steps below:
1. Login to Autodesk Forma:
2. Go to "Hub Admin" (only Autodesk Forma Hub Admins can configure the additional apps).
3. Access "Apps". Search for the "One Click LCA for Autodesk Forma®" app and follow the steps to install it.
4. Once installed, the "One Click LCA for Autodesk Forma®" app will be present in the "My App" tab and can be used.
How to use the Autodesk Forma Integration?
The integration imports the bill of materials from the selected view of a Revit model stored in Autodesk Forma into the One Click LCA platform.
Note: The integration reads only Revit models saved in the English version of Revit and uploaded to Autodesk Forma
