FormSpace Free Trial: What You Can Test

Discover how to maximize your FormSpace free trial to test key features for landscape planning, zoning, and AI design of your plot before purchasing a subscription.

The FormSpace free trial offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the main tools for your plot's landscape design without any obligations. It's an ideal way to understand how the platform can help you create your dream project: from zoning the territory and arranging objects to generating AI concepts and visualizing ideas from photos. You'll be able to test the interface's intuitiveness and the effectiveness of key features to make an informed decision about continued use.

Who is the FormSpace Free Trial For?

The FormSpace free trial is primarily aimed at private plot owners who want to independently plan or update their landscape but are unsure about which tool to choose. This could be a plot ranging from 600 to 2000+ square meters, where functional zoning, placement of buildings, paths, water features, and plants need to be considered. It will also be useful for those seeking inspiration and wanting to see several AI-generated design options or try out different ideas on real photos of their plot. This is an opportunity to delve into the process without rush and evaluate all the benefits of the platform.

Key FormSpace Features to Test

During the free trial, you gain access to most key features that will help you get a complete understanding of FormSpace's capabilities. You can upload plot plans, scale them accurately, and mark existing objects. Testing the territory zoning tools will be especially valuable, as they allow you to define recreation areas, gardens, vegetable patches, playgrounds, and other functional zones. You'll also be able to evaluate the modules for arranging various elements, such as trees, shrubs, and small architectural forms. The AI concept generator, which offers ready-made design solutions, and the photo visualization module will also be a focus.

Plot Planning: From Idea to Blueprint

In the FormSpace free trial, you can fully work with the planning modules (1.x). Start by uploading your plot plan (e.g., in JPG or PNG format). Then use the scaling tool to achieve accuracy down to half a meter. You can mark the plot boundaries, the location of your house and other existing buildings, and also indicate utility lines. Next, move on to zoning: divide the territory into functional areas, for example, a barbecue zone, a decorative garden, a vegetable garden. This allows you to see the big picture and ensure that all elements fit harmoniously into the space. The free trial allows you not only to create but also to change the size of objects and paths, and check setbacks – for example, to ensure that the path width from the house to the gazebo is a comfortable 1.2 meters, and the setback from the building to plantings is at least 3 meters.

AI Concepts: A Quick Start from Scratch

One of FormSpace's most innovative and useful features available for testing is the AI Concepts module (2.1). It allows you to get 3-5 different landscape design options for your plot in literally a minute, based on your specified parameters. You can indicate your preferences for style, zone functionality, presence of water features, or other elements. The artificial intelligence will analyze this data and propose unique solutions that can serve as an excellent starting point for your project. This significantly saves time on idea generation and allows you to see the plot's potential from different angles. You can choose the concept you like best and refine it manually, changing the arrangement of objects and plants.

Design from Photos: Visualizing Ideas

The Design from Photos module (3.1) is a powerful tool for those who want to see how specific design solutions will look on a real plot. Upload several photos of the current state of your garden or a specific part of it. Then select various elements from the FormSpace library: trees, shrubs, flowers, garden furniture, decorative elements. Place them on your photos to instantly get a realistic visualization of future changes. This helps avoid mistakes and disappointments, as you can
