VisualARQ Information

VisualARQ has been developed by Asuni CAD, a company specialized in software development and distribution for architectural design, engineering, landscaping and industrial design. Based in Barcelona, Asuni CAD and McNeel Europe belong to the same company group, working in close collaboration with this and other projects. What kind of program is VisualARQ? 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. What are the main values VisualARQ provides to its users? Complex architectural projects modeling in 3D and 2D in an easy and fast way. A full library of 3D paremetric architectural objects, customizable and editable anytime.Easy editing and automatic update of all the 2D document drawings, which are attached to the 3D model. Import and export of IFC 2x3 files, in order to exchange 3D models between Rhino and other BIM plaftorms such as Revit, ArchiCAD, Solibri or Tekla Bimsight.The dynamic section tool, which allows to work with real-time section views. An affordable price.VisualARQ plus Rhino makes a very affordable and competitive 2D/3D architectural package solution compared to related products in the market. (Pricing)Free technical support and constant development based on the users' needs and requests. Who is VisualARQ aimed at? VisualARQ is aimed at architects, interior designers, engineers, constructors, urban planners, renderers and architecture professionals. It can also be a very useful tool for any Rhino user interested in architectural modeling or wishing to obtain technical drawings from their designs in a fast way. Is VisualARQ based on BIM (Building Information Modeler)? Yes. VisualARQ has a set of parametric architectural objects and tools, that make design and documentation processes easier and faster. All project documentation (plans, sections, elevations, schedule tables for room areas, openings quantifications, etc) is attached to the 3D model and is updated automatically at any change on the 3D model. In addition, VisualARQ provides the option to import & Export IFC files, which is the the standard file format of exchanging objects in the building industry.
