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. This makes the architectural design process and its documentation much easier to handle.

With the release of VisualARQ 2, VisualARQ is now compatible with Rhino 5 and Rhino 6.
