Why is VisualARQ useful in Commercial and Cultural projects?

VisualARQ can help you streamline architectural workflow to develop unique buildings and projects for commercial centers, offices, hospitals, concert halls, you name it!

Integrate your Rhino free-form geometry into your project and VisualARQ will help you produce the 2D drawings, quantity take-offs and share the model with other contractors through IFC file format.

Work with smart architectural objects

Smart and associative architectural objects

Parametric architectural object library

Fast 3D modeling with the library of parametric architectural BIM objects, such as walls, beams, windows, stairs, furniture, and many more. Edit them quickly through styles and properties.

More information.

Curtain wall from curves

Create objects from curves and surfaces

Walls from curved paths, curtain walls from surfaces, beams from free-form curves, windows from custom profiles, roofs from free-form surfaces.

Intersection between slab and roof

Associative objects

Objects link to levels and guides, and calculate the intersections among them.

Furniture object from Grasshopper style

Create your custom objects

Create your custom parametric objects in any level of detail and design with the Grasshopper styles.

More information.


Flexible BIM

Free-form geometry from NURBS

Free-form BIM objects

Integrate free-form geometry into your project and turn any geometry into an informed object.

More information.

Add Custom data to geometry

Assign metadata to any geometry

Create custom parameters, by object type, by layer, and feed any kind of geometry with information. Make reports and export geometry to  IFC with these parameters as IFC Properties.

Navigation and coordination tools

Level Manager VisualARQ 3

Work with buildings and levels

The Level Manager lets you navigate through Buildings and Levels easily, show and hide them, display the model in 3D or plan view, and enhance the 3D/2D modeling experience.

More information.

Section Manager in VisualARQ

The Section Manager

The Section Manager allows you to display your 3D model in section, organize the sections of your project for a better workflow, and 2D drawing setup purposes.

More information.

Guides

VisualARQ guides act as reference lines and aid in aligning and linking different elements of the project design so they contribute to the successful realization of a building project.

More information.


Dynamic documentation

Real-time vector architectural drawings

Real-time 2D drawings

Produce 2D drawings by printing the 3D model to vector output in real-time sections, plan views, or 3D views, using the Hidden display mode.

More information.

Make 2D sections, elevations and plan views

Make 2D sections, elevations, plan views, and reflected ceiling plans

Generate dynamic 2D drawings from horizontal and vertical sections that are inserted in the model space and linked to the 3D model.

More information.

Spaces

Measure the areas and volumes of the project with VisualARQ spaces.

More information.

Quantity take-offs

Produce quantity take-off reports of your project. List custom information of any piece of geometry dynamically, edit objects from table panels, and export your reports to Excel.

More information.

Export layouts to DWG with VisualARQ

Export layouts to DWG

Just export what you see in the page layout directly to DWG to share your project drawings with other collaborators.


Visualization

Zhen-Zixu-Drifting-Sail-Perspective-Section

Beautiful section views

Show de model in section using the Level Manager, or the Section Manager for beautiful screenshots and renders. VisulARQ sections can be jogged.

Casa de Montaña by Javier Castro

Support for rendering software

Assign materials and textures to objects and render them in Rhino or with another compatible rendering tool such as VRay, Enscape, Lumion, or Twinmotion.

More information.


Collaboration

IFC import and export

Deliver BIM models to IFC

Import and Export your architectural model designs from Rhino to IFC (2×3 and 4) for interoperability and collaboration with other professionals in the field of architecture, engineering, and construction.
