“Grasshopper para Rhinoceros e Impresión 3D”
This new book shows how to design new parameteric shapes using the power of algorithmic modeling in Grasshopper, through 50 guided exercises, including examples of VisualARQ and Weaverbird.
There is also a chapter for 3D printing.
The authors are Sergio Gómez González and Jordi Torner Ribé, (both professors at the UPC, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya).
The book is already available in Spanish.

VisualARQ 2.0 will come with plenty of enhancements regarding the Roof command.
In this sneak preview video you can see some of these new features:
New insert dialog
The roof object will have an insert dialog, like the rest of VisualARQ objects, from which you will be able to choose some insert parameters such as the roof type (hip, gable or shed), the cut edge type, or the slope angle.
Inserting it will be easy like drawing a rectangle (or like inserting slabs), including the option to pick 3 points from the command line. The roof ridge will be automatically aligned with the longest side.
The option to create roofs from boundary curves will be still available.
Multilayer roof styles
Roofs will be composed of slabs. This means that the roof styles will take one of the existing slab styles in the document and therefore they will be multilayer. It will be possible to create new roof styles by editing an existing slab style or creating new slab styles from a shortcut button.
Roof intersections
When two roofs touch each other, the intersection between them will be automatically calculated. This interopearability will provide many new roof combinations and new designs that could not be done before.
Roofs from surfaces
Finally, it will be possible to create roofs from surfaces, no matter how complex they are. This operation will apply an offset to that surface according to the roof style thickness and will convert the resulting object into a roof.

The following video shows some of the beam object new features that will be available in the upcoming VisualARQ 2.0 version:
Beam joints
Beam intersections at ends will be calculated. This will happen when two beams have one of their end points in the same position. However, it will possible to break this connection if needed.
Beam cut planes
In addition to automatic beam joints, it will possible to define different solutions for beam cut planes at the start and end points. Vertical, Horizontal and Perpendicular will be the preset options, but it will be also possible to enter a custom cut plane.

Savanna3D R6 + Grasshopper – Promotional Video from Rhino3D.TV on Vimeo.
McNeelMiami releases a new version of Savanna3D, Savanna3D R6, that contains over 1300 detailed 3D models in 3dm format (for Rhino 6), + 12 Grasshopper definitions to create parametric models.
These models, which include furniture, fixtures, 2D-People, office equipment, TVs, and more, are ready to insert or import into Rhino 6 to give you a head start. And they have preset materials from Rhino 6. You can edit them as any other Rhino 6 object. All the materials are 100% included in Rhino 6.
VisualARQ2 bundles with Savanna have been updated with this new version.

This video shows the workflow between VisualARQ and Parametricos, a web-based platform for visualizing and sharing architectural models in their context—effortlessly.
Parametricos lets you upload your models on a specific location, collaborate with 3rd party services and take advantage of the tools to simulate the projects in a virtual environment.
The sample model of this tutorial is the one Autodesk Revit provides, that has been previously exported from Revit to Rhino through the VisualARQ IFC importer and edited in Rhino and VisualARQ.
The model is then exported from VisualARQ to Parametricos (through IFC), where you can visualize it on the web and share it with others.
