Introducing Rhino's perfect partner.

Many architects we talk to just don't want to leave Rhino.

But Rhino was never built to carry a project from design through documentation. Getting from a Rhino model to floor plans, area metrics, and client-ready presentations has always required leaving Rhino: writing Grasshopper scripts, exporting to other tools, manually stitching deliverables together is a tax on the design process.

Most integration on the market follows the same pattern: pull your geometry into a new environment, generate floor plans but now you're maintaining a second source of truth. It works until the design changes. Every push from Rhino wipes out work done in that other tool, and the team is back to square one.

Architects see through this. That's why most Rhino integrations don't stick.

What makes Arcol different

Arcol doesn't ask you to leave Rhino, you can simply template your work in Arcol and keep streaming updates from Rhino.

We designed our integration to be a partner to how you already work, not a new set of tools to master.

Stay in Rhino. Stream when you're ready

• The integration brings your Rhino geometry into Arcol at the correct geolocation, divided into floors. Different layers (facade, mass, structure) can be managed separately.

Floor plans generate from your geometry

• When you’re ready Arcol slices your Rhino model into floors and can populate metrics automatically.

Metrics update as you iterate

• Area calculations, program data, and cost signals flow from the model. Change the design in Rhino, push the update, and metrics reflect it immediately.

Presentations stay current

• Arcol Boards pull from the live model. Update your Rhino geometry and your client-facing presentation updates with it. No re-stitching in InDesign.

Push again without losing work

• When you push an update from Rhino, Arcol preserves floor heights, assigned floor plans, and all downstream data. Everything regenerates from the latest geometry. No rework.
