Give Form To Your Building Design Concepts With Autodesk FormIt 2.0

Released in late November last year, Autodesk FormIt has finally received its first ever update. As it happens, Autodesk FormIt's first ever update is also its big 2.0 update. Autodesk FormIt is an app that lets you lay out building design concepts anytime and anywhere inspiration strikes. Obviously, the app is of great use to you if you actually design buildings for a living. But even if you don't, Autodesk FormIt is nonetheless an interesting app to foster your creativity in building structures.
