FORMS 3D · IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT

Discipline-equal BIM.
For the work, not
for one trade.

Every other BIM tool is built native to one discipline and bolts the others on. Revit is architecture-first. The MEP and electrical packages live downstream of that assumption. Forms 3D is built so MEP, electrical, structural, civil, architectural, and I&C are equal citizens — not the architect's drawing with the engineer's work added later.

In active development. No release date — engineers get told the actual state, not a marketing date.

01

WHAT "DISCIPLINE-EQUAL" MEANS

MEP isn't an add-on

Duct, pipe, conduit, equipment and routing live in the same model the architect's walls do — same data layer, same coordination graph. Not a separate plug-in that has to be reconciled at the end.

Electrical knows it's electrical

Circuits, panel schedules, and the relationships between loads and feeders are model objects, not annotations on a 2D sheet stapled to a 3D file.

Structural is in the same model

Members, connections, and load paths are first-class — usable upstream from analysis, not just downstream documentation.

I&C is a citizen, not an afterthought

Instruments, loops, interlocks — the layer that makes a plant run the way operators want it to — are the same data in 3D as they are in Forms 2D. One truth, drawn two ways.

Civil and architectural too

Site grading, drainage, walls, slabs, openings — equal access to the same coordination model. Not a separate tool you sync to.

One spine, one model

The disciplines share a data model, not a federation of files. Coordination happens because they're in one place, not because a clash-detection tool sweeps it up.

THE CONTRACT (UNCHANGED)

SAME RULES
AS THE REST.

Local-first. Your project on your disk. No subscription, no cloud lock-in, no holding your work in a proprietary container. Formats you can export and read with anything.

The whole point of the suite is one set of promises across every product. Forms 3D doesn't get its own rules just because it's bigger.

·
Local-first
Your model is on your disk. Cloud is optional, never required.
·
One-time license
Bought, not rented. No annual renewal.
·
Your formats
Open formats out. Your work doesn't get held hostage.
·
No data middleman
No telemetry. No phoning home. No training-set extraction.

3D VS PRIME · TWO LANES

Forms 3D is the AEC modeler — buildings, plants, facilities, the disciplines that ship as a drawing set.

Forms Prime is a separate product for mechanical CAD — parts, assemblies, manufacturing drawings, the SolidWorks-class workflow. Both live in the suite; they don't overlap.

WHERE IT STANDS

IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

The 2D side of the suite ships first (Forms 2D, with a browser preview live today and the desktop targeting August 1, 2026). Forms 3D is being built behind that. There is no committed date and we won't invent one.

If the build-state matters to you — and for this audience it usually does — follow it. We post real progress, not marketing milestones.

One email when there's something worth telling you. No drip campaign.
