VisualARQ • An Easy-to-Use Rhino to IFC Plugin

VisualARQ supports import and export from and to IFC file format to exchange Rhino models with other BIM applications. It allows the user to create parametric architectural objects like walls, beams, stairs, doors, windows, roofs etc. and control them parametrically within the Rhino environment. Block items such as windows and doors can be moved or modified within walls without the time consuming process of rebuilding or patching wall surfaces as would normally be the case in Rhino. However, not all Rhino commands are compatible with VisualARQ. One needs to get used to VisualARQ’s modelling toolset, which is a little different to Rhino, especially Boolean operations.
