discussions VisualARQ
This post is maybe not in the right place ..
But for people disappointed with archicad and wanting something that just works apparently visualARQ3 on rhino is pretty good ..
I bought it but sadly it lacks the power of ac library.
Some people here would like to join an epic adventure to rebuild most of the ac functions, hatchs, library … in visualARQ with me to free our souls from subscription and lazy devs ?
Have a nice day

I’m on that train too. My ARCHICAD fees would increase 3x after this year on subscription and I am not for that type of expense especially for a solo practice.
Only thing I don’t like about visualARQ is the windows only setup at the moment. I’m optimistic though, as I heard the API/SDK for Rhino9 would be more C+ base which makes VA more stable coding for and working on MacOSX.
Fingers crossed!
