We have been testing the VisualArq GH components to generate the German Pavilion designed by Mies van de Rohe.

You can download the definition in our website : http://www.smdarq.net/teaching-resources/

Be aware that the definition is still in WIP, some errors may occur when modifying it :) 

I have installed VisualArq GH components but they don't appear when I open GH. I am looking for the files to drag and drop, but they are nowhere to be found. The installation is successful!

ARQ plug-in need rhino version and GH version installed together can be a success, you try, and you can see the problem that I had sent before, hope to help you

I'd like to use ARQ plug-in longer, recently has been busy design, ARQ plugin is out of date, I want to prolong the service life can be? thank you

Hi Naruto, we will publish a new VisualARQ release (1.7.3) and a new Grasshopper Components release (WIP 2) probably next week. You will get 15 additional days to use the software. If you needed more time, please write me to visualarq@asuni.com.

Thanks.

My probation in 30 days, but I recently is in urgent need of this plug-in, is there any method to extend the plug-in a probation period? I sent the email information but didn't get a reply, thank you for your help

Hi Naruto, 

Write me to visualarq@asuni.com and I will provide you with an extension of the evaluation version.

I sent email to that email, thank you for your help

i have a problem creating visualarq slabs. the component tells me the curves would not be planar or closed. but as you can see in the attached image they are...any ideas?

Hi Patric,

Please attach the .gh and .3dm files in order we can check them out and try to figure out wha't happening. Thanks!

couldyou give me your email address, the file is a bit heavy and I don´t want to post it here ;)

when I bake the curves and copy them to a new rhino file and reference them back to gh it works, but not directly in my definition...

Hi Patric, 

You can send me the file to fsalla@asuni.com

Thanks.

Hi, does anyone know how to create sliding doors with more than 2 panels?

Also, is there a way to create custom openings in walls like you do in Revit with the Edit Profile option?

Hi Fernando,

You can create doors and windows with more than 2 panels from the door and window styles dialog. Just follow the steps of the new style wizard. In the new VisualARQ Grasshopper Components WIP 3 version, you will be able also to create new window and door styles directly in Grasshopper. 

Best,

Thanks Francesc, I was able to do the three panel door already thanks to your reply. Though, where can I download the VisualARQ Grasshopper Components WIP 3? I only found WIP 2 in Food4Rhino.

Regards,

Hi Fernando, the VisualARQ GH Components WIP 3 is still not released. It will be available in food4rhino when VisualARQ 1.8 is released too, in a few days.

Hi all,

You can see in the following video how to split a VisualARQ beam in different parts using a simple definition. 

Hi Francesc,

I am trying to name a space in my grasshopper script. Is this possible?

Hi Francesc,

Another question, is it possible to see spaces in section as hatches?

As a workaround I was going to create slab styles but it doesn't look like I can, is it possible to edit slab styles?

this has the potential to be a very great tool,

regards

Hi Connie,

Right now it is not possible to put names on Spaces components. We'll try to make it possible in the next version release.

Spaces can't be displayed in vertical sections since they are planar representations on the XY plane. In the next VisualARQ 1.9 version you will be able to create slab styles, if you want to do that workaround. 

If you meant spaces in horizontal sections, as soon as you bake the space component, you will see its hatch pattern according to its attributes settings defined by the space style.

Regards,

Hi all,

There is a new version of the VisualARQ Grasshopper Components available: WIP4

This new release requires VisualARQ 1.9: (http://blog.visualarq.com/2015/05/08/visualarq-1-9-available/)

 New features of VA-GH Components WIP4: 

• General properties (Name, Tag, Description...) on VisualARQ objects can be modified.
• Added "Space Param" and "Deconstruct Profile" components.
• Doors, windows and openings can be inserted in Curtain Walls.
• Doors, windows and openings can be inserted freely with no need to be attached to a wall or a curtain wall.
• Added the option to get the sizes list from any object style (image below).

Hi all, I'll be presenting the lastest development on VisualARQ tools for Grasshopper at the Grasshopper UK User meeting in London (18th April), the day before the Shape To Fabtication event.
