formZ pro 8.6

• The Voronoi diagram tool creates a formation of cells from a set of points.
• The Point Scatter, Surface Scatter, and Volume Scatter tool create formations by distributing copies of objects on or inside of other objects.
• The Parametric Map tool allows 2D objects to be mapped onto a surface or face of another object.
• The Wrap tool creates a new object from the 3D spatial boundary (or convex hull) of a set of objects or the 2D boundary of a planar set of points.
• The Delaunay Triangulation tool creates robust triangulated meshes from a set of points on a surface or plane.

• ACIS r25 and (ASAT r25 file format) support for improved smooth modeling.
• Improved display performance for layout files and complex 3D model files.
• Enhancements to the Bend Along Path tool and Align/Distribute tools.
• Improved numeric input.
• New High Quality smoothing export option.
• A variety of improvements and enhancements throughout.

• An effective design tool for all the fields that deal with the articulation of 3D forms and spaces, formZ pro 8.6 facilitates the development and execution of projects from conception to complete detailed structures, animated, and automatically fabricated.
• Design directly in 3D or in 2D, using numeric or interactive graphic input through either line or smooth shaded drawings (OpenGL), slipping effortlessly back and forth among drafting, modeling, rendering, and animation.
• Grow a model from simple lines to complex surfaces or to true solids with a few quick clicks.
• Boolean solids to generate complex composite objects.
• Create curved surfaces from a variety of splines, including NURBS and Bezier/Coons patches.
• Dynamically sculpt and reshape objects using a variety of deformations to twist, bulge, or bend them, as you move seamlessly between 2D and 3D views.
• Resize, stretch, extrude, lathe, sweep, project, unfold, deform, round objects in few simple steps
• Create mechanical or organic forms using metaformz, nurbz, patches, subdivisions, displacements, or skinning.
• Terrain models, Platonic solids, geodesic spheres, double line wall objects, stair cases, helixes, screws, and bolts are at your fingertips.
• Add as many hierarchical layers as you need and work with floating point precision.
• Refine the design with double precision CAD accuracy to full structural detail for 3D visualization, for the production of 2D construction drawings, 3D Printing, Rapid prototyping, and CNC milling.
• Scripting and plug-in capabilities allow further customization for individual needs.
• The interface is fully customizable.
• formZ pro 8.6 MovieZ support dynamic methods for transforming and morphing 3D shapes and allow the production of both animated visualizations of scenes and the capture of 3D shapes as they morph into other forms, introducing modeling methods that explore 3D forms significantly beyond traditional means.
• Information management of bills of materials and spreadsheet support for construction documents.
• Support for DWG and DXF to facilitate import/export to and from AutoCAD
• Extensive interoperability of formZ pro 8.6 with other complementary applications through 20+ translators.
