Autodesk FormIt

Autodesk has made a significant progress in development of this application. In the workflow it is first step with massing model, energy analysis and daylight simulation. Model can be taken from here into Revit and developed further. However since last week it crashes on startup despite reinstall.

Great app, happy to see, that now we can make 3d on ipad, i was waiting for something similar to sketchup, and that is it! Functionality, features, and tools have to be improved, but i give 5 stars for autodesk to keep working on, becouse its certainly proper way.

Couldn’t figure out how to draw

Waiting booleans operations, support .dwg files please. Function Orbit is very slow fixed and much more, team FormIt. Section plane please, export scenes

Great capability for a mobile application, but any sufficiently detailed structure causes the app to crash during use, resulting in the loss of all progress. Even more infuriatingly, the app will crash anytime you attempt to save your progress if you’ve done more than 3-4 minutes of work. If I want to add to a rendering, I have to save every time I make a change to avoid overwhelming the app and causing it to crash. Even then, it often crashes upon opening for no apparent reason. It creates a “restored” version of any file that crashes, but these restored copies wont open or load and are therefore useless. I use a brand new iPad Pro with the highest capabilities so this shouldn’t be an issue. This app is fantastic for viewing renderings on the go, but not making them.

FormIt is just an amazing program that allows the user that spends a few hours fiddling with it to discover a new, fast way to create structures that look beautiful. I use FormIt in many ways but primarily to create perspective accurate shapes that are ultimately used in drawing/paint programs, like Procreate. I strongly encourage everybody to try this great piece of software to explore its vast capabilities.

To get anything more than making blocks on Google Maps. I need something more robust that doesn't crash. That let's me draw lines every once in a while. Thanks. But, no thanks.

With Any good 3d drawing program on the iPad with pencil, the very first thing I should be able to do is draw. With this, I can’t

This ones nice

This app is really great to have on a tablet, to do 3D projects. But what I can’t understand is why projects can’t be imported/exported between this and the (also Autodesk) AutoCAD tablet app. Shouldn’t this be a given?
