SEE THE TOOLS IN MOTION
Six tools. Six minutes.
A first look at QAD, XForm, ZForm, ReForm, Piper and XChange, including Para, Profiles and Assy. These add-ons are under construction and should be released soon; the release date is still to be confirmed.
Development preview with animated models and intended workflows. The Revit round trip is illustrated, rather than a live Revit recording.
THE TOOLKIT
The right tool for the next step.
QAD, XForm, ZForm, ReForm, Piper and XChange are works in progress. Features and interfaces may change. Bevel Edge remains the established product.
Precision mesh modelling
XForm
Dimension-driven modelling, CAD-style aids, connectors, constraints and editable bevels in one Blender extension.
Work in progress3 PDF guides
Exact solid modelling
ZForm
Parametric solid modelling with an OCCT-based geometry engine, constrained sketches and STEP exchange inside Blender.
Work in progress3 PDF guides
For Revit users
ReForm
Open STEP and IFC geometry, modify solids or meshes with a focused modelling interface, and send the result to Revit.

ONE CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Make it. Describe it. Share it.
01 / MODEL
Choose your geometry.
XForm for meshes. ZForm for exact solids. ReForm for focused edits from Revit. Piper for connected pipework.
02 / DOCUMENT
Explain the detail.
QAD turns the model into views, annotated drawings and composed sheets ready for review.
03 / EXCHANGE
Carry it forward.
XChange handles IFC and Revit packages. ZForm exchanges exact solids through STEP, BREP and IGES.
