On May 8, 2023, we released the Forma in-market offering, which combined many of Spacemaker’s AI and predictive analytics capabilities for early-stage architectural design and urban planning with many of FormIt's conceptual modeling tools. We’ve also added new capabilities such as expanded data availability and new analyses.
With many Spacemaker capabilities now available in Forma, we have retired the Spacemaker software, and existing subscribers were migrated to Forma.
