VisualARQ is a precise, intuitive and free-form architectural software for Rhinoceros.
Note: Prices include support and service releases. There are no maintenance fees.

Option to add Savanna 3D for $70 more.

VisualARQ 2:

VisualARQ is a plug-in designed for a sector of the architectural market. It allows you to work within Rhino’s interface, providing specific tools to create/edit architectural plans and to work with parametric 3D Objects -such as walls, doors, windows, columns, slabs, roofs, stairs, and railings- making the architectural design process and its documentation much easier to handle.

VisualARQ is compatible with Rhino 5 and Rhino 6.

Main Features

• Freeform modeling

• Grasshopper integration

• Flexible BIM features

• Powerful documentation

• Parametric architectural objects

• Easy management and user interface

• Architectural visualization

• Team collaboration

New features in 2.2:

• Added the vaSplit command.
• Added the vaFillet command
• Grasshopper components:
  • Added a new Update Property component that allows changing a property from a referenced document object.
• Grasshopper styles:
  • Element and Furniture objects can be now rotated in 3D.
  • Objects share their block geometry when they are equal, improving speed, memory consumption and file size.
• Added “All styles” option in vaStylesExport and vaStylesImport commands.

Changes:

• Toolbar:
  • Added a new Edit toolbar, that stores the following commands: vaAddSolids, vaSubtractSolids, vaExtractSolids, vaFlip (moved from the Tools toolbar), and vaSplit and vaFillet.
  • Added a toolbar icon for command vaSlabSubtractStairClerance.
  • Added new toolbars for the Railing, the Curtain wall, and the Stair objects.
• Section attributes and parameters are no longer lost when creating or exploding blocks
• Grasshopper components:
  • IsKindOf now supports VisualARQ objects.
  • Improved speed (+4x) when baking large amount (+1000) of beams.
• VaSlab command doesn’t accept self-intersecting curves.
• VaCurtainWall command doesn’t stop after the FromCurves option.

Grasshopper Styles Create new VisualARQ object styles from Grasshopper definitions. Watch the video	Hidden-Line Vector Output Just print the 3D model in Perspective, Section and Plan views in Hidden-Line 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.
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.
