VisualARQ and Rhino appear at the Expertise magazine, a French newsletter about BIM.

The 3D modeling tool Rhinoceros seduces more and more architects. Thanks to its plug-in VisualARQ, specifically developed for the building industry, the software marks the beginning of a new phase by approaching the IFC configurator.

VisualARQ will be at Congrès des Géomètres de Marseille. 23-25 June 2010.

Rhinoforyou, RhinoTerrain and 3D Avenir will be present at booth 30, showing the solution Rhino pour Géomètres, composed of Rhinoceros, RhinoTerrain and VisualARQ, that retrieves and processes the point clouds and allow the modelling of buildings and interiors. Automatic extraction from Google Earth.
Formats LandXML, GeoTIFF, Shapefile, IFC, DWG …

Print in colored 3D your models of lands and buildings on the 3D ZCorp printer from 3D Avenir at booth 30.

VisualARQ will be in booth 2485 at the AIA convention in Miami (June 10-12, 2010).

Nigel Gough has published an interesting review of VisualARQ at the Australian Association of Architectural Illustrators (http://www.aaai.org.au/VisualARQ) and the American Society of Architectural Illustrators (http://www.asai.org/VisualARQReview) websites:

VisualARQ is a very useful plug-in tailored for architectural modelling in Rhino 4.

It has a simple intuitive tool set that once you become accustomed can be rapidly incorporated into standard Rhino 4 modelling to significantly improve work flow.

Nigel Gough practiced as an architect before starting his career as an architectural illustrator. He uses both traditional and digital media in his work. Nigel has taught design presentation at the Queensland University of Technology for the past 22 years, having previously graduated as valedictorian in both the architecture and industrial design degree programs, winning both the Australian Design Institute Prize and the Queensland Board of Architects Prize (a unique honour). He is currently Vice President of the Australian Association of Architectural Illustrators (AAAI) and is co-editor and contributor to the AAAI website.

Rhinoforyou (VisualARQ reseller) invites you to the next edition of “Les Ateliers Numériques”, that will take place March 3rd at 14:00 to 16:00 in Paris (France).
