formZ Pro 10

Overview form•Z pro is a powerful 3D design application featuring a variety of modeling personalities and tools with an easy to use interface to express and communicate your imagination. It is based on advanced 3D solid and surface modeling methods that maintain accurate representations as you progress from design to visualization, layout, animation and fabrication. Available for MacOS X 10.11 or later and Windows 7/8/10. Surface Modeling tools including Booleans, NURBS and Subdivision Surfaces. Native support for 64 architecture on OS X allows for more content creation. Imports SKP, KMZ, DWG, DXF, DAE, OBJ, SAT, STEP and STL files. Exports SKP, DWG, DXF, SAT, STEP, DAE, and STL for 3D printing.

Highlights

	Architecture Explore fluidly while maintaining perfect accuracy. Sketch 3D parametric walls. Insert wall-cutting door and window Components. Automated roofs and parametric stairs. Topography from contours. Maintain a lightweight project with externally Referenced files. form•Z meets the design challenge at any scale.
Film previsualization and set design From scenery to spacecraft, form•Z is used to develop concept art, props, and sets for major productions. Quickly develop designs with parametric primitives and booleans. Refine with deformers. Combine free-form with precision with the extensive NURBS toolset. Model organic forms with form•Z subdivisions.
	Interior design From intimate residential to multistory office, designers trust form•Z from sketch though documentation. Import fixtures and entourage in industry standard formats. Populate assets efficiently using Components. Set up multiple design variations in a single project and present them with Scenes. Review on the go with the form•Z Viewer app for iPad, macOS, and Windows.
Exhibit design Promote and persuade with form•Z. Rapidly construct variations with parametric primitives. Propose novel yet practical-to-fab designs leveraging parametric primitives, booleans, deformers, and rounding. Flow 3D signage text between control lines. Simulate glowing LED lighting with emitter materials in the optional V-Ray and Maxwell renderers.
	Product design Design any product you can imagine with polygonal meshes, ACIS solids, NURBS surfaces, and subdivision surfaces. Iterate quickly and precisely with parametrically controlled objects. form•Z’s solid modeling representation is ideal for fabrication and manufacturing.

• Pro Tools - From generic parametric solids to architectural specialties like switchback stairs and structural shapes, form•Z has you covered.
• Creative Partner - Support you creativity with a wide array of specialized modeling approaches, from live symmetrical modeling, to formula-defined NURBS surfaces, to object morphing. form•Z Pro supports Python scripting for full creative control.
• Core Tools - From generic parametric solids to architectural specialties like stairs, form•Z has you covered.
• Accuracy - form•Z is backed by the robust ACIS 3D modeling kernel and double-precision floating point numbers. Metric and English unit support. Enter and display values as decimal, feet and decimal inches, or even as fractions.
• Interoperability - form•Z is a team player. Seamlessly integrate with your existing pipeline with built-in importers and exporters.
• Rendering - Present your project in its best light with V-ray or
  RenderZone. From stylized to photo-real, these optional renderers have you covered with a wide variety of visualization options.
• Twinmotion Direct Link - Wait no more. With form•Z and Twinmotion, you can render and animate in real time. Incorporate thousands of assets like plants, animated vehicles and people. With Direct Link enabled, changes made in form•Z are immediately reflected in Twinmotion.
• Digital Fabrication - Directly export your model in industry standard formats for use with 3D printers and CNC manufacturing equipment. Our water-tight representation ensures that your model is ready for prototyping and production.
• Live Sections - Clarify intent with real-time clipping planes. Make sections permanent at any time.
• Documentation - Prepare drafted documentation of your 3D projects in form•Z Layout. This application has both world scale and paper scale working environments and includes a suite of predefined title blocks in standard paper sizes.
