Introduction
Form • Z is a professional and powerful 3D design application with various styling personalities and tools, making it easy to use the interface to express and communicate your imagination. It is based on advanced 3D solid and surface modeling methods, maintaining accurate representation throughout the process from design to visualization, layout, animation, and manufacturing.
【Software Highlights】
Can be used for OSX.102.2 and Windows 7/8/10.
Solid and surface modeling tools, including Boolean algebra, NURBS, and subdivision surfaces.
Local support for OS X's 64 architecture allows for more content creation.
Import SKP, KMZ, DWG, DXF, DAE, OBJ, SAT, STEP, and STL files.
3D printing outputs DWG, DXF, SAT, STEP, DAE, and STL.
【Functional characteristics】
1. The workflow has a dynamic intelligent interface that can sense what you plan to do and protect you from unnecessary operations. This includes automatic picking, automatic guidance, and snapshots to help you accurately draw without limiting your creativity.
2. The internal watertight modeling representation used in form • Z means that the model is ready for 3D printing. The model can be directly exported to an industry standard format for transmission to any 3D printer, CNC, or milling process. Object doctors and 3D printing preparation tools help identify objects that cannot print well due to thickness or other printer limitations.
3. Advanced rounding and blending operations can create smooth transitions between surfaces. Advanced features such as variable radius and line rounding can create unique solutions
4. The form • Z project can be fully animated. This includes animations of cameras, objects, and lights. Animation trajectories can be created for various parameters of parameter objects, allowing for dynamically designed animations. Animation can be rendered using any built-in or plug-in rendering engine and exported as a separate frame or standard movie format.
5. Sun Palette can quickly evaluate the natural light inside buildings on any specific day or time. Quickly create animations of sunlight throughout the day or year.
6. The dynamic shear plane allows for non-destructive cutting of the model. This real-time dynamic interface allows for a comprehensive review of the design.
7. Components make it easy to reuse and share commonly used content. Components can be embedded in the form • Z project or stored externally in the directory of the project file. Components can be easily created and modified. Provided accompanying component library.
8. Fully parameterized and dynamically generated in 3D form, allowing for further operation at any time after initial generation.
9. A comprehensive set of NURBS tools combines unprecedented ease of use and powerful functionality. The NURBS analysis feature helps evaluate and improve your design.
10. The information management system generates spreadsheets based on modeling information, including quantities, physical features, and custom attributes.
11. Subdivision modeling makes creating organic shapes interesting. Start with a simple faceted cage model and create a smooth flow pattern. The Subdivision tool kit allows for the use of easy-to-use controls for shaping and sculpting subdivision surfaces. Subdivision is useful for stretching structures; From exotic rooftops to organic surfaces of character grids, these tools make form a versatile modeling tool.
12. Powerful formula tools can easily create complex curves and surfaces based on mathematical formulas. The predefined shape library included is the starting point for a new form creation method.
13. The form • Z layout environment allows you to quickly create and scale design drawings. Using Form • Z layout, you can place the design's floor plan, elevation, section, and 3D views into the page layout.
14. These links are linked to 3D models, so when the model changes, the drawings will automatically update.
15. The complete interface and tool palette are fully customizable, including the 'Head Up Display' palette, where you can place frequently used tools for instant access.
16. The workspace combines relevant tools and palettes, making it easy to switch between tasks. These can also be customized and new ones can be created.
17. Interoperability is a traditional advantage of Form • Z Pro, which supports over 20 formats, including 3D Studio, DGW/DXF, Sketchup Rhino, STEP, STL, and IGES.
【Configuration Requirements】
Memory: Minimum: 1 GB
Recommended: 4 GB+
Note that complex models or large texture mappings may require additional memory.
Windows system requirements: Windows 7, Windows 8, or 8.1, or Windows 10
Hard disk space: minimum: 2 GB
Recommended: 5 GB+
Please note that complex models or large texture mappings may require additional hard drive space.
Internet connection: Requirements for product activation, software updates, and online manuals and tutorial videos.
OpenGL: Support for video cards with OpenGL version 3.2 or higher is required. For optimal results, it is recommended to use a video card with a minimum benchmark score of~1500. For larger files, it is best to use~3500 or higher.
