Visual ARQ  – STUDENT License

VisualARQ is an architectural design software which enhances Rhino by adding powerful architectural object styling and dynamic documentation tools which adapt to fit your workflow.

Flexible BIM features

Add BIM to Rhino. Object styles to control information and parameters, IFC for interoperability between teams and applications.

Parametric architectural objects

Work with BIM objects such as walls, curtain walls, beams, columns, openings, stairs and other custom objects driven by parametric properties and styles.

Dynamic documentation

Annotations, spaces, tags, quantity take-offs, 2D drawings, and many more. Automatic and precise documentation always available from the VisualARQ 3d model.

Grasshopper integration

Define your workflow with the VisualARQ Grasshopper Components.  Automate object and object style creation through visual programming.

Easy management and user interface

Use user-friendly dialogs to organize your project by levels, sections, layers, sheets, templates, and more.

Architectural Visualization

Assign materials, activate sections and generate great architectural views of your project.

Team Collaboration

File format support, floating network licenses, Worksessions, external references, and more…

API SDK available

VisualARQ provides an API accessible from RhinoCommon (C#, VB.NET, Python).

VisualARQ.Inside.Revit

Discover some examples of the interoperability between VisualARQ and Revit through Rhino.Inside technology.

What’s new in VisualARQ 2?

Grasshopper Styles Create new VisualARQ object styles from Grasshopper definitions. Watch the video	Hidden line 2D vector drawings Just print the 3D model in Perspective, Section and Plan views for a real time 2D vector output. Watch the video	Custom Parameters Create new parameters and add information to Rhino and VisualARQ objects so you can generate quantity takeoffs. Watch the video
Section Manager Manage the sections in your model as you manage levels with the Level Manager. Watch the video	New Element and Furniture objects New objects to generate parametric custom objects with different representations in 2D and 3D. Watch the video	New Annotation object New 2D parametric element for symbols and annotations in 2D drawings. Watch the video
Add + Subtract solids Do Boolean unions and differences between Rhino solids and any VisualARQ object without losing their parametric properties. Watch the video	IFC materials and attributes Materials, colors and layers are now imported and exported within IFC files.	Beam joints and end cuts Beams calculate intersections and beam cuts can be defined at ends. Watch the video
New Roof features Roof interesections, roofs from surfaces, and multilayer roof styles. Watch the video	New Space features 3D display, curtain walls are detected, option to add and remove elements for space calculations. Watch the video	Object selection commands New commands to easily select VisualARQ objects of the same type. Watch the video
Support for external references Fixed bugs related to VisualARQ support of objects in blocks and external references.	Dockable insert dialogs Improved insert dialogs that can be docked for a better workflow.	New Tag and Section symbols Symbols for tags and section arrows can be customized.
