About form•Z 6.6

Foremost, update 6.6 offers corrections to irregularities reported to AutoDesSys since our previous release and introduces a variety of stability and performance enhancements. Some of these can be attributed to new and updated versions of the Lightworks libraries for rendering and of the ACIS libraries for smooth modeling. form•Z 6.6 also offers a few new features, mostly in the area of export/import.

New export/import translators and additions to existing
Collada (.dae) files can now be imported to and exported from form•Z, using a new translator. Collada can be used to transfer object geometry, textures, and other 3D data.
Google Earth (.kmz) files with 3D content can now be imported into form•Z and vice versa.
Also, Google Earth views can now be created as textured objects directly in form•Z, after they have been captured in Google Earth.
Google SketchUp (.skp) files can be imported directly into form•Z through a new translator, which includes support for textures that import smoothly into form•Z RenderZone Plus.
The DWG/DXF translator now also supports the 2007/2008 formats and has been updated to support text elements better.
The ZPR (Zcorp) translator now also supports version 2 of the ZPR file format.

More tree symbols
The form•Z tree symbols have been enhanced with over 30 new trees including seasonal variations and palm trees.
