Architectural BIM for Rhino

Design smarter.
Build with precision.

VisualARQ brings powerful architectural BIM tools directly into Rhinoceros. Create parametric architectural objects, generate floor plans, sections, elevations, and export to IFC — all inside the environment you already love.

VisualARQ BIM in Rhino

Why architects choose VisualARQ

The only BIM solution built natively for Rhino — combining free-form design with intelligent architectural documentation.

Parametric Architectural Objects

Walls, doors, windows, stairs, slabs, columns and more — all intelligent, parametric, and style-aware. Edit profiles, adjust dimensions, and apply styles globally.

Automated Documentation

Generate floor plans, sections, elevations, and detail views automatically from your 3D model. Annotations update dynamically as the model changes.

IFC & BIM Workflows

Full IFC 2x3 and IFC 4 import and export for seamless collaboration with Revit, ArchiCAD, and other BIM platforms. Share models without losing data.

Grasshopper Integration

Drive VisualARQ objects with Grasshopper definitions. Parametric workflows let you automate repetitive tasks and explore design variants instantly.

Styles & Graphic Control

Control line weights, fill patterns, and hatches for every element in every view. Produce drawings with the graphic quality your clients expect.

Schedules & Quantities

Automatically generate door schedules, window tables, room data sheets and area calculations — always synchronized with your model.

Rhino + BIM.
Finally together.

VisualARQ bridges the gap between free-form 3D modelling and structured BIM documentation. Work in the organic, precision environment of Rhinoceros and get all the deliverables a professional architectural project demands.

  • Walls that host doors and windows automatically
  • Rooms that calculate areas and perimeters
  • Levels and storeys for multi-floor projects
  • Data attached to every object for quantity take-offs
  • Layout views ready for printing or PDF export

VisualARQ 3

The latest version brings new architectural objects, improved IFC support, enhanced Grasshopper components, better graphic styles, and a completely refreshed user interface designed around how architects actually work.

Compatible with:
Rhino 7 & Rhino 8 (Windows & Mac)

Trusted by architects worldwide

VisualARQ completely changed how we work. We can design freely in Rhino and still deliver full BIM documentation to our clients. It's the best of both worlds.

Principal, MG Arquitectos

The IFC interoperability is rock solid. We exchange models with contractors and consultants without any data loss. Our whole team has adopted it.

BIM Manager, Foster Practice

The Grasshopper integration is a game changer. We drive complex parametric facades through VisualARQ objects and get proper BIM output automatically.
