VisualARQ Grasshopper Components allows to create and work with VisualARQ architectural objects inside Grasshopper.
You can create easily walls, doors, windows, openings, beams, columns, roofs, slabs, stairs and railings and obtain their information (area, volume, length, etc...)
Once the VisualARQ geometry is baked, it turns into workable VisualARQ objects inside Rhino. Then you can use the VisualARQ features to create section drawings, floor plans, schedule tables, etc.. and export the full model in IFC file format into BIM platforms such as Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, etc...
The VisualARQ Grasshopper Components are automatically installed when installing VisualARQ.

Hi Roman,
You can use the "Wall Add Solids" and the "Wall Subtract Solids" Components to do a boolean union and a boolean difference respectively between a BRep and a VisualARQ wall.
Cheers!

Hi Roman, I get back to this thread to mention that since VisualARQ 2 it is possible to do boolean operations between Rhino solids and any VisualARQ object. These operations can be done also directly in Grasshopper:
