Sketchup make vs pro free#

It's very encouraging to hear that extensions and scripts will be loadable in FormZ Free as well as the rest of the FormZ product range. I'd agree that it would be unfair to expect FormZ Free to compete with the wealth of extensions available for Sketchup at launch but the point I was making was that community created extensions do not appear to be part of the FormZ Free tool set at all.

With regard to scripts and extensions I was basing my assessment on the fact that the Extensions Manager in FormZ Free lacks the load function that is present in Formz Pro/Jr plus I saw no mention of Extensions (or an SDK for the matter) on the FormZ Free product page or within the FormZ Free online manual. I tried to be thorough by reading all of the FormZ Free help files when creating my comparison but somehow missed any reference to the Sun Pallette Thanks for correcting my error with regard to geolocated sun position and shadows.

Regarding the image that you post, the geometry there is fine and would not have any issues 3d printing, but there is an issue with the rendering Normals in this case, and we are working on a solution for this.

Rest assured that we are working on support for Python scripts and plugins for form This has evolved over many years so it’s not quite a fair comparison against a new offering like form The extensions community for SketchUp did not happen overnight. This is very important as these models can be used in advanced modeling operations and 3D printing where Sketchup models often fail. We should note that a major difference that you did not discuss is the quality of the underlying geometry. In addition to real-time visualization, the animated shadows can be exported as an animation (as a QuickTime of AVI file).

I'm not so sure the same can be said for FormZ Free in it's current guise. Sketchup Pro and FormZ Jr have very similar pricing but FormZ Jr far excels Sketchup Pro's capabilities so it's a real pity that FormZ Free can't compete on a more equal footing with Sketchup Make. Sketchup Make not only fulfils a great need in the hobbyist/education sector, it provides an uncrippled experience that helps convert Pro trialists into fully fledged customers. Sketchup Make can only be used for non commercial projects but in most other ways (other than IO capabilities and the lack of Layout) it's uncrippled and provides the same rich feature set of the pro product. Trimble have been very smart in their licensing terms too. Community is the real secret of Sketchup's success (not that the product used to be owned by Google). For FormZ Free to succeed it needs to be a product that a passionate community can support. I can't see it being an attractive option for existing Sketchup Make users, it's no real use for rapid prototyping and it lacks the tools to make it a useful walkthrough presentation tool for FormZ Pro/Jr users. So all in all, I'm left with the impression the FormZ Free is caught between 'pillar and post'.
