CJTFORM-Z Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Hi Evan & AutoDesSys HQ, Good to see some much needed video tutorials for Form.Z ver.10 are starting to emerge. As ever, Evan's concise rapid fire format gets right to the point in super fast time & covers a lot of ground. Loving the Dark-side UI...👀 Alan Cooper and Mike_Concentric 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnalexander1571 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Yay! Evan is back! World's longest soul patch sir! I can't throw stones, I've been through various facial hair phases. I guess it is part of your character after all this time! Great videos. It helps so much in any video in my opin to see the narrator. I'm ugly so I can't do it, lol.

ZTEK Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Such a great news! It is good to see Evan will continue his excellent work with updated tutorials. It will help to promote formZ v10 better among architects and related work fields. Kudos to the author and the team for making this happen! 🙌 I hope to hear Evan interview David Kropp in one of the next episodes of Evan's excellent TRXL podcast show someday. Hearing them talking about formZ and the v10 release would be great. It would also be super interesting to hear them both chatting about the present and future of formZ (and the new PowerCADD v10) and know about David's vision and POV as an experienced developer in these times of crisis and change in the AEC/BIM software world. Just an idea! 🤞 Alan Cooper and Mike_Concentric 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJTFORM-Z Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Quote Posted Monday at 03:05 PM This week's form•Z Fundamentals video "Creating Simple Parametric Geometry and Understanding Topological Levels" is now available on Youtube. The previous Form.Z Fundamental tutorial videos I purchased from Evan Troxel that are very structured in a step by step concise format are equally well detailed with this new version for Form.Z v.10. The previous version course amounted to about 160 videos, so we might be here for sometime ☺️ & that's just the fundamentals 🤔, good to see all this activity in Form.Z.

Each video in the new series is longer than the older series. In the end, there will be fewer videos but more content overall. You can see the breakdown of subtopics with clickable time codes in the description for each Video. Jaakko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Form.Z Tech, Understood, just glad to see all this enthusiasm 👍 I do note Form.Z Layout wasn't covered in the previous Form.Z Fundamental tutorial videos I purchased from Evan, so hope this is included at some point & also noted some talk on the previous videos about Organic modelling ! not too sure what this is but very interested all the same.

CJTFORM-Z Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 To all, As I noted on the YOUTUBE channel, I understand when you commit to ones model being "sliced" the rest of your model is effectively deleted, i.e. destructive as opposed to non-destructive that the clipping planes provide. If this is so, then I guess you'd need to be cautious when using these "Slicing Tools" if you wanted to display your model in some way with these tools & retain your whole model after the fact for typical plan, elevations & sections etc in Form•Z LAYOUT for instance. Not too sure what the procedure would be, but I think to be safe, I'm thinking I should make a "save as copy" of your Model drawing & experiment with the "Slicing Tools" on the copied drawing & import that "sliced" model view as a X-REF or similar. What are others doing in this regard, would like to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check "Keep Ghosted Tool Operands" in File --> Project Settings --> Project Files, Form Z *should* keep a ghosted copy of the original model that you can then unghost if you need it.

Disclaimer: I haven't tested this extensively in FZ10. That's interesting, Jim_G, I'll have to experiment with that, as can't recall at what point it thinks the original file is "original" I guess it's at a saved timeline when you save a model & then close the file & re-open it for more work later on ! 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
