Connect a Forma project to a Rhino project

Step-by-step guide

Forma—Rhino interoperability enables the connection of a Forma project to a Rhino project. This is a first step in sharing data between the two programs.

If needed, download and install the Rhino plug-in for Forma:

1. With Forma open, in the sidebar, click Extensions.

2. In the Extensions panel, click Add extension.
3. In the Extensions dialog box, scroll to find and select the Rhino plug-in.
4. Click Download.

5. Click Agree to install the extension and agree with the terms of use.
6. With the plug-in installed, in Rhino, open the relevant project data.
7. In the Command bar, enter “Forma” to open the Forma dialog.
8. Drag the dialog box over toward the Layers panel to dock it as a panel next to it.

To connect to Forma, enter the Forma URL and proposal to connect the Rhino project to:

9. In Forma, open the appropriate project.
10. In the navigation bar, copy the URL.

11. In Rhino, in the Forma panel, paste the URL into the Enter Project URL field.
12. Expand the Select a Proposal drop-down and select a proposal. In this case, Proposal 2 is selected.
13. Click Load Site Data.

The Rhino project is now connected to the Forma project, and data can be fetched from Forma to Rhino to utilize the capabilities of both programs in the design workflow.
