Our very latest reports have an indepth talk/view of Bonzai 3D based on a very good question-driven demo of the application. There are several aspects to Bonzai that make it superior to any other modeling application in its market and price range. As for the formZ issues. I believe we mentioned in one of our reports on Bonzai that formZ version 7.0 will inherit some of the new features in Bonzai. Essentially formZ will get reinvented via the lessons learned in Bonzai and this will greatly improve that application over time--which is already a urber-power house of a modeler.

Bonsai is what I've been looking for, an on-target middle ground between the low end pseudo-cad apps that abound, and the high end apps$$$ that I would like to say I own but I now lament the time wasted in the frustrating struggle to learn. For those of you who understand, Bonsai "is Mac." Mac's intuitive UI has always attracted the creative because it doesn't get between the creator and their work, and this is what I find with Bonsai. Now if the developers of Bonsai can lead the FormZ hacks out of their mire, they'll sew up the market with an unbeatable twin-pair of applications.
