A new program from Auto-des-sys (FormZ) is going to be announced these days in Boston. Fast and easy to use with robust and powerful geometry handle. Take the best of each house (I mean FormZ and Sketchup). It's supposed to be released this summer. Here's the news at FormZ's:

Talking BonZai 3D with Chris Yessios, creator of form.Z
The difference with BonZai 3D is the robustness of the model," said Yessios. BonZai 3D's model structure is as robust as the legendary form.Z. With the new easy-to-use modeler you don't get pseudo-NURBS but rather the real thing, with real solids and powerful Booleans.

i like this quote from the creator:

"We've had something like Push/Pull in form.Z for years and years," said Yessios. "It's just there are extra steps before you push or pull."


ummm...

Yes! :lol:

"BonZai 3D is currently in a beta stage with a public beta planned for some point this summer, followed by an actual release."

...sounds good. nice competition. so let's see what SU7 brings to us - hopefully more than extended google warehouse and stylebuilder features... :roll:
