You can also find a comparison of the differences between formZ Pro and formZ Jr here (to see which may be a better fit for your needs): Until then, we would recommend using the formZ Pro 8.5 trial (if you are interested in the Layout aspect). Perhaps in a few weeks we will have an announcement. Yes, we will be offering the Layout application as an addition for formZ Jr and Free in the future, but we don't have any more "official" information on that just yet. I hope there will be another version of Form.Z-Jr in the not too distant future, this being :-įorm.Z-Jr+ at £480.00 (similar price as SU-Pro) that includes an integrated sheet Layout tool.Īny comments on this will be most appreciated. One annoying factor though with SU Layout, is that being a separate program than SU, it does noticeably take a long time to update the sheet view ports when altering your SU model. If true, this would be all very interesting for me & I'm sure other Architectural users currently using SU. I did hear talk that Form.Z may be offering their "Layout" version as an add-on & more interestingly a more bias version of Form.Z for the construction industry, i.e. Price wise here in the UK SU & Form.Z are as listed below (incl.vat):. I was initially looking at Form.Z-Jr, but then realised "Layout" was only part of Form.Z-Pro (ver.8.5). However I now see Form.Z-Pro (ver.8.5) has something similar, hence my new interest. At the time SU was developing, they produced a separate program called Layout, so this suited my needs. I've always thought Bonzai3D was perhaps the better of the two, but needed to also present my saved views, i.e. I've been using SU since ver.3 & have seen Bonzai3D develop over the years.

In essence, I would like more architectural bias 3D integral tools than SketchUP has, rather than adding extension (plug-ins). I'm looking to add some new software to assist me with my small Architectural Business here in the UK, I’m currently using DataCAD, STI SPIRIT & SketchUP Pro. Not looking to spend a fortune, just looking to improve upon what I already have with a similar Budget as SU-Pro.
